SIT Training Package Buyer Guide

Travel and tourism training can involve designing an itinerary, handling a booking or preparing information for a visitor. Hospitality training may involve service, menu planning or kitchen practice. The SIT collection includes resources for both areas. When selecting a listing, use the work learners will do to narrow the choice. A travel itinerary exercise and a cooking operations task need different spaces, materials and ways to capture evidence.

Plan delivery around the workplace

A tourism group may use a classroom with sample booking records, approved software or a simulated service counter. Hospitality learners may need an equipped training kitchen, a service space or supervised access to an employer's venue. Before ordering, list the equipment, ingredients, venue time and other materials the RTO needs to arrange. Decide whether learners will prepare their work online, practise in a scheduled class or carry out activities with an employer. Ask the venue what it can provide and what access it can confirm before selecting placement resources.

Certificate II, Certificate III and Certificate IV examples appear in the catalogue. Do not choose by level alone. A learner expected to handle routine customer queries may need a different practice sequence from one expected to adapt an itinerary or organise service. The title and code let your team see which context the resource is for. Use a sample to compare the wording with your training scenario and the evidence the assessor will need.

Worked example: adjusting a visitor itinerary

Provide a fictional group booking, visitor preferences and a set of activity options. Change one booking condition and ask the learner to explain the revised itinerary to the customer. Have the learner update the record that another staff member would use. A tourism learner resource can introduce the information they need to compare. The assessor should check how the selected document captures the reason for the change and the way it was communicated. If classroom practice is already developed, the separate assessment material may be enough.

Worked example: planning a kitchen session

Choose a menu and a training kitchen session that can be completed with the available ingredients and equipment. Ask learners to organise the order of preparation and identify what needs to be ready before service. Have the trainer identify a point where a learner can explain the plan and the assessor can observe the work. A Session Plan can help with time and preparation, while a combined kit can be useful if the team also needs teaching explanations and formal assessment materials. Check the instructions against your venue arrangements.

Write the shortlist before requesting a quote

Separate travel or visitor service resources from kitchen or hospitality resources in the shortlist, even where they sit in the same collection. Identify which items are needed at qualification level and which are for selected units. Note the code, delivery setting and staff who will use each item. A clear shortlist helps avoid buying a learner resource twice when it is already part of a combined kit. Ask the supplier to confirm the format and the components where the listing leaves a gap.
