Entry Requirements

There are two alternative pathways for entry into the Certificate III in Retail. The candidate must either: 1. Be recognised as competent, through a recognised training program or recognition process, against the following units of competency: * SIRXCCS001A Apply point-of-sale handling procedures * SIRXCCS002A Interact with customers * SIRXCLM001A Organise and maintain work areas * SIRXCOM001A Communicate in the workplace * SIRXICT001A Operate retail technology * SIRXIND001A Work effectively in a retail environment * SIRXINV001A Perform stock control procedures * SIRXOHS001A Apply safe working practices * SIRXRSK001A Minimise theft OR 2. Have sufficient relevant retail employment experience. A current or previous job role that involves or has involved the application of the above competencies, would be a satisfactory indicator for entry. A determination need not involve a formal process of measuring, evaluating or recording performance against the units of competency. Examples of evidence to support a determination could include: * job descriptions and references from current or past employers * an entry interview to determine what competencies have been applied in the retail environment in a paid or voluntary capacity.
