Can I get RPL if I enrol into either of the diploma courses?

An assessment pathway exists within both diploma courses. This means that once you enrol into the course you can apply for recognition of your past work experience and training to gain credit for the units which make up the courses.

Do I have to enrol into the diploma courses or can I continue to take on training in one unit at a time?

You have the choice. Depending on your own requirements you can:

• satisfy a short term training need and only take on an individual unit.
• enrol into either of the diploma courses, complete all the course units and be granted with a Diploma or Advanced Diploma of Hospitality (Club Management).
• undertake only the units which will satisfy the education criteria of the ACCM award.

How many hours do we need to spend training per year?

Please phone (02) 9746 4199 and speak with Brad Jones.

I am considering becoming a club management trainee, what can the CMAA offer me in terms of accredited off-the-job training?

You may be engaged as a Trainee Manager as long as you are enrolled into  the nationally accredited qualification: SIT 50307 Diploma of Hospitality Management with an appropriate Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

CMDA offers many individual nationally accredited units of competency from this diploma. Any individual nationally accredited units that you complete (or have completed) with CMDA will be recognised by the RTO that is delivering your diploma. This includes any units where you may have been granted Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) by CMDA.

I have a lot of annual leave accrued. My employer wants me to take this leave next week — is this allowed?

No. Your employer must give one months notice before your commencing annual leave. Obviously, it would be preferable for your employer to discuss your leave liability and arrange a mutually agreed time before demanding that you take the accrued leave.

I have many years on-the-job experience, can I get formal recognition for this within the scope of the RTO?

If I undertake training in an individual unit, what will I receive as an award for successfully completing it?

All accredited training modules/units successfully completed, either by RPL or actual instructional delivery, will attract a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment award. All non-accredited training modules completed will attract a CMDA Certificate of Completion

My position has been made redundant. What am I entitled to receive?

Notice and Redundancy Pay are now provided for in the Acts NES.

agreements. The employer’s consultation obligations for all Club Managers are provided for in clause 8 of the award “ Consultation regarding major workplace change”

What are my annual leave entitlements?

All Club Managers continue to enjoy the benefit of 5 week’s annual leave. The R&LC award provisions for the additional one week’s leave “includes a club manager”.

What are my sick leave entitlements?

What happens if I give the Board a longer period of notice to assist the Club with a smooth transition and the Board request I leave immediately?
