The Assessment Process
Why are assessment tasks important?
To complete your qualification, you are required to apply the ideas you have been learning from this
unit of competence.
The assessment activities are an important part of your training program as they provide an
opportunity to apply what you have been learning and they give both you and your trainer feedback
on your progress.
How will you be assessed?
You will be required to complete a variety of written and practical exercises. Instructions for how to
complete the assessments are provided within each assessment task in this booklet.
What is required for successful completion?
Please read this section carefully before commencing the assessment tasks. You must carefully
complete EVERY task in this booklet. You must achieve a ‘Satisfactory’ mark for all assessment tasks
to be deemed Competent for the unit. If you are assessed as Not Competent, you will be given some
suggestions for improvement and asked to redo your assessment.
At the successful completion of the assessment tasks, you will have demonstrated your competence
against all of the requirements of the unit.
Submission of assessments
Your trainer will advise you when to commence the assessments in this booklet.
You are required to complete the written assessments on a separate document. You have access to
computers which are equipped with 2010 Microsoft suite of products. You will also have access to
the internet at the College to assist with research and resources. Assessment responses should be
typed; however, handwritten submissions will be accepted if they are clear and legible.
On the document please include:
o Your name
o The date
o The Assessment Number and Task Number.
For example:
o John Smith
o 10 August 2015
o Assessment 1 - Question 1 (Record your answer).
Please note that some assessments require additional documentation, such as a form or a
procedure, which must be included with your submission.
Make sure you check your material before submission. You must keep a copy of all work submitted.

Access and equity
A student’s access to the assessment process should not be affected by restrictions placed on the
location or context of assessment beyond the requirements specified in the training package.
Reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure equity in assessment for people with disabilities,
including language and literacy. Adjustments include any changes to the assessment process or
context that meet the individual needs of the person with a disability, but do not change
competency outcomes. If you believe you have a disability that may affect the completion of these
assessment tasks please speak to your trainer.
Assessment outcomes
Your assessment submission will be assessed and you will be given feedback. Each assessment task
will be marked as either Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory and once all assessments have been marked
you will be given an outcome of Competent or Not Competent for the unit of competence.
What can you do if you don’t agree with the assessment result?
If you do not think the assessment process is valid, disagree with the assessment outcome, or
believe that you have been treated unfairly, you can appeal.
The first step is to discuss the matter with your trainer. If you still do not agree, you are able to
request a re-assessment. It is possible to have your assessment submission assessed by a different
assessor.
If you remain dissatisfied after the re-assessment, you should contact your trainer. Full details of the
appeals process are contained in your Student Handbook.
Declaration of Authenticity
You are required to sign a Declaration of Authenticity for every written assessment submission. The
Declaration is a signed statement from you stating that the assessment submission is your own
work.

Scenario
You have been hired as an IT Manager at Ransford College.
The College needs a new Learning Management system due to the increased number of students.
Currently, students and trainers are using a paper-based approach, but as the college grows this
approach is not practical any more, as it affects the students experience and the quality of the
education provided. More specifically:
 Students need to handwrite their assessments or to develop Word Documents separately
and print them out which is not cost effective
 All assessments need to be printed out instead of being uploaded to and LMS which takes up
a lot of time and money.
 Teachers need to provided feedback and results in the old-fashioned handwritten way which
takes up a lot of their time.
 Students can’t check their results until the end of the term when the trainers submit
everything to the administration staff and then they only provide the academic progress as
per student’s request. This is currently very time consuming and non-practical.
 Students do not have access to any training material and trainers need to email all additional
resources to each student.
Your task is to review the current process and find new industry specific technologies (and more
specifically a good learning management system) to help improve the quality of education provided
and ensure the student experience is enhanced, easy and enjoyable.
The college currently has 350 students.
Your budget is $20,000 per year.
Your timeframe is 9 weeks.
