Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to provide porter services in commercial accommodation establishments. It requires the ability to check and plan for daily arrivals, assist guests with luggage, and provide ancillary services for guests.

The unit applies to frontline service personnel in commercial accommodation venues. Porter services are usually associated with dedicated bell desk or concierge roles in larger venues. In smaller venues, reception or other staff provide these services. People working under supervision undertake this function, though the unit may also be relevant to owner-operators of small businesses.
