Foundation Hospitality and Catering
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
WJEC Foundation Hospitality and Catering is a two unit, practical Entry Level and Level 1 qualification for learners aged 14 to 16, taught over Years 10 and 11 as a step towards the VCSE or post-16 training. Unit 1 covers the industry, safe working and food hygiene, and Unit 2 covers nutrition, food preparation, cooking, presenting food and customer service. Both are teacher-set portfolios marked in centre. The digital work is light and practical: all evidence is submitted digitally, practical outcomes are photographed or filmed, and learners may make simple posters, guides and leaflets. No software is named and there is no on-screen test, so Key Stage 3 should build the habit of photographing, saving and organising practical work in clear digital folders.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Cyfnewid a rhannu gwybodaeth
-
Saving and submitting portfolio evidence digitally
All evidence for both units is compiled into a portfolio and submitted to WJEC digitally, so paper worksheets, posters and physical work must be scanned, photographed or filmed. Unit 2 requires IT so that learners can document, store and present their work digitally, which means naming, saving and finding their own files across a two year course.

Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils photograph their fruit salad, save the photo into a Food folder in their school cloud storage with a clear file name, and find it again the next lesson.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils scan a completed paper hygiene worksheet with a phone, upload it to their class OneDrive folder alongside photos of their practical, and sort the files into subfolders by lesson.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils keep a termly digital food portfolio with dated file names and subfolders for each task, restore an earlier version of a document they overwrote, and check every piece of evidence is present before a deadline.

Recording spoken and practical evidence on video or audio
The evidence types include video and audio recordings of learners performing a task, giving a presentation or taking part in a discussion, and a learner statement can be written or recorded. This suits Unit 2 service role plays and the short verbal reviews of practical performance suggested for Entry 3 learners.

Da gwybod
- All evidence goes to WJEC digitally: "All evidence must be submitted digitally." Paper work is "scanned, photographed or filmed" (Section 3.3, page 36).
- Unit 2 needs "IT, including devices or systems for learners to document, store, and present their work digitally" and "a method of capturing visual evidence, such as a camera or mobile device" (Unit 2, page 22). Unit 1 has "no specific requirements for assessment" (page 12).
- There is no examination. Both units are a "Portfolio of evidence" that is "Assessed in centre and moderated by WJEC" (Summary of assessment, page 5), and tasks are teacher-set, with example tasks that "are not mandatory" (page 9).
- Evidence can include "video/audio recordings" and "creative outputs" such as "digital media" (Section 3.3, pages 35 and 36), and every portfolio needs a completed "Learner Assessment Record" (page 36).
- Support can include "assistive technology" for Entry 1 learners (Section 3.4, page 36), and learners "must be supervised by a teacher while completing assessment activities" (Section 3.5, page 37). The specification gives no separate AI rules beyond WJEC malpractice guidance (Section 3.8, page 38).
- Appendix A maps Digital Competence Citizenship, Interacting and Collaborating, and Producing to "All sections" of both units, and Data and Computational Thinking to no sections (Appendix A, page 44).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The Foundation leads directly into the WJEC VCSE Hospitality and Catering, which the specification names as a progression route. Both share safe and hygienic food preparation and cooking, food storage and contamination control, presenting dishes, customer service and reflecting on practical work. The VCSE steps these up: learners sit an on-screen multiple-choice food safety test, plan and cost dishes or events from an annual brief, keep temperature records and promote an event with digital media, where the Foundation asks only for photographed and digitally submitted portfolio evidence. The nutrition, Eatwell Guide and cooking skills content also links with GCSE Food and Nutrition, and the customer service work with the WJEC Skills for Work units named in the specification.
