PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
A person credited with this unit standard is able to demonstrate knowledge of:
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the history of baking.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the ingredients used in a bread plant bakery.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the baking process followed in the bread plant bakery.

    This unit standard is intended for anyone who wants to start a career in the bread plant baking industry who requires a basic theoretical knowledge of a bread plant bakery and who will use plant bread bakery equipment, supporting systems and processing systems.

    This unit will contribute to the full development of the learner with in the baking manufacturing environment by providing recognition, further mobility and transportability within the field of manufacturing and assembly. The skills, knowledge and understanding demonstrated within this unit standard are essential for social and economic transformation and contribute to the upliftment and economic growth within the baking manufacturing and processing environment.

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    Description of required skills:
  • Demonstrate understanding of and use the number system.
  • Read and respond to a range of text types.
  • Understanding of health and safety requirements in a baking environment.
  • This unit standard has been designed as part of a progression. It is one of a series of unit standards describing the knowledge required in the field of bread plant baking. 
    		•

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
    The typical scope of this unit standard is for anyone who wants to start a career in the bread plant baking industry and needs an introduction to the terminology, equipment and systems in bread plant baking environment.

    In the context of this unit standard, terminology, equipment and processing systems refers to terminology, equipment and processing generally used and found in the bread plant baking environment.

    The level assigned to this unit standard is appropriate because the learner needs an ability to use common tools and instruments and the capacity to apply him or herself to a well-defined task under direct supervision. The application of this unit standard is to qualify the person for certification in sub-trades.
