Skills Assessment for Chefs (351311)

1. 1

   Autoridad evaluadora

   VETASSESS is the designated skills assessing authority for Chef (ANZSCO 351311). VETASSESS assesses whether an applicant’s qualifications and work experience are comparable to the relevant Australian AQF Certificate III or higher qualification in commercial cookery.

2. 2

   Requisitos de titulación y experiencia

   Depending on the assessment pathway, applicants generally need to demonstrate either a recognised commercial cookery qualification supported by relevant employment experience, or a longer period of relevant employment experience where no formal qualification is held. Evidence of genuine kitchen management responsibility, not just cooking duties, is important to a positive outcome given the distinction between Chef and Cook.

3. 3

   Assessment Process

   The VETASSESS assessment for this occupation generally involves a documentary evidence assessment, reviewing qualifications, transcripts and detailed employment references, benchmarked against the Australian Qualifications Framework. Applicants should ensure their employment references clearly describe chef-level duties to avoid being assessed against the Cook occupation instead.
