Instructions to Learner
Assessment instructions
Overview
Prior to commencing the assessments, your trainer/assessor will explain each assessment
task and the terms and conditions relating to the submission of your assessment task.
Please consult with your trainer/assessor if you are unsure of any questions. It is important
that you understand and adhere to the terms and conditions, and address fully each
assessment task. If any assessment task is not fully addressed, then your assessment task
will be returned to you for resubmission. Your trainer/assessor will remain available to
support you throughout the assessment process.
Written work
Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding and underpinning skills and
knowledge of the overall unit of competency. When undertaking any written assessment
tasks, please ensure that you address the following criteria:
 Address each question including any sub-points
 Demonstrate that you have researched the topic thoroughly
 Cover the topic in a logical, structured manner
 Your assessment tasks are well presented, well referenced and word processed
 Your assessment tasks include your full legal name on each and every page.
Active participation
It is a condition of enrolment that you actively participate in your studies. Active
participation is completing all the assessment tasks on time.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and
representing them as your own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in a learner’s
exclusion from a course. When you have any doubts about including the work of other
authors in your assessment, please consult your trainer/assessor. The following list outlines
some of the activities for which a learner can be accused of plagiarism:
 Presenting any work by another individual as one's own unintentionally
 Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another learner
 Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work
 Handing in assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used, including
assessments taken totally or in part from the internet.

If it is identified that you have plagiarised within your assessment, then a meeting will be
organised to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.
Collusion
Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an project as their own that is, in fact, the result
in whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or persons. Collusion
involves the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of academic
misconduct and, as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary action.
Competency outcome
There are two outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory (requires
more training and experience).
Once the learner has Satisfactorily completed all the tasks for this unit including vocational
placement and/or simulation tasks the learner will be awarded “Competent” (C) or “Not yet
Competent” (NYC) for the relevant unit of competency.
Additional evidence
If we, at our sole discretion, determine that we require additional or alternative
information/evidence in order to determine competency, you must provide us with such
information/evidence, subject to privacy and confidentiality issues. We retain this right at
any time, including after submission of your assessments.
Confidentiality
We will treat anything, including information about your job, workplace, employer, with
strict confidence, in accordance with the law. However, you are responsible for ensuring
that you do not provide us with anything regarding any third party including your employer,
colleagues and others, that they do not consent to the disclosure of. While we may ask you
to provide information or details about aspects of your employer and workplace, you are
responsible for obtaining necessary consents and ensuring that privacy rights and
confidentiality obligations are not breached by you in supplying us with such information.

happy with your assessment and/or the outcome as a result of that treatment, you have the
right to lodge an appeal. You must first discuss the issue with your trainer/assessor. If you
would like to proceed further with the request after discussions with your trainer/assessor,
you need to lodge your appeal to the course coordinator, in writing, outlining the reason(s)
for the appeal.
Special needs

adjustments as soon as possible. This will enable the trainer/assessor to address the identified needs
