FEEDBACK FOR NYC CANDIDATE NO. 2

How do you feel about the assessment? If you will rate your performance from 1 to 10, 10
being the highest, what would be your score? Why? Do you feel so nervous?
Okay, Candidate No. 2, during the assessment you were able to prepare the right
ingredients for a specific recipe and used the appropriate tools for a specific job. but you
were not able to measure the ingredients properly that why your baked product has uneven
results. Your answers in the oral questioning/written exam were not satisfactory,
specifically your answer to question How should you adjust baking times and
temperatures for different cake sizes?

My suggestion to you is focus on the more on the unit competency of preparing sponge
and cakes and practice measuring ingredient properly. Do you understand?
Now, based on the results of my observation on the evidence I have gathered, I’m sorry to
say that you are NOT YET COMPETENT. Do you agree with this result? If you have doubts
on the result of your assessment, you have the right to appeal and you can submit your
appeal to the AC manager right after the assessment.
If you agree, that for this time you are Not Yet Competent, do not worry. Again, you can be
reassessed anytime at your convenience. Just remember my suggestions and
recommendations to you so that you can be competent the next time you take the national
assessment. Are we good with this? Kindly sign the CARS. Do you still have any
questions? If None, thank you and good luck.

(Collect all the forms and submit them to the Competency Assessment Center Processing
Officer.)

Our competency assessment is done. Again, Congratulations everyone. Please wait while
the Assessment Center Manager signs your CARS. Thank you and have a good day.
