3 Evidence for this unit standard must be presented from within the context of a whare kai. There are many similarities in performance expectations and requirements between the kitchen of a whare kai and those in commercial kitchens. There are also some significant differences that must be taken into account when developing the knowledge and skills required to be demonstrated for credit for this unit standard and in the assessment of such knowledge and skills. For example: a time taken to complete tasks matters – the kai must keep pace with other activities and processes on the marae; b the end user must be satisfied in such a way that mana is not compromised; c the contexts in which catering is required are real and cannot be simulated. Learning and assessment activities may just happen as well as be planned and scheduled, resulting in the availability of high levels of naturally occurring learning and evidence opportunities; d equipment must be capable of, safely, providing sufficient volumes of appropriate product to the standard demanded by each occasion for which catering is being provided; e performance is embraced by tikanga; and f work ethic is guided through the expression of manaaki and awhi.

4 Performance of the elements of this unit standard must accord with the application of tikanga on the marae in which assessment takes place. This would include any explanation of effective ways of dealing with unexpected problems with food and equipment, unexpected conditions within or demands placed on the whare kai, or accidents that cause injury, encountered during any learning and/or assessment processes. Relevant applications must be made known to candidates prior to assessment.
