Assessment Summary
Read all the instructions below before attempting the assessment task. Assessment tasks are tools used to
determine if you have the knowledge and skills to complete tasks to industry standards within the workplace.
Your trainer/assessor will help you throughout this task and it is your responsibility to provide enough
evidence to justify a competent decision by the trainer/assessor. If you do not understand the questions or

what is required, ask your trainer/assessor for assistance. For group assessments, all students are to contribute
to the assessment tasks. You can work in groups up to a maximum of four people.
You are to complete all tasks by the due date and assessments must have a coversheet attached. If you think
you do not have enough time to complete the tasks by the due date, discuss with the trainer/assessor the
reasons of why you cannot submit on time.
Writing your responses
When answering questions, ensure that your answers are detailed enough to so the assessor can draw a
conclusion that you have the knowledge and/or skills to demonstrate competency. Handwritten answers must
be written in blue or black pen. When producing reports, ensure that your project has a title page, table of
contents, page numbers, reference list, ensuring that your answers thoroughly match the questions asked.
Answer all questions in your own words to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is copying someone else’s work or
ideas and saying that it your own work. Sources of work must be properly referenced, outlining the source of
your ideas. Penalties may include having to resubmit the assessment task again, repeating the Unit of
competency, or for repeat plagiarism, expulsion from Australian College of Hospitality & Business
Management.
Marking of Assessments
On submission of your assessment will be marked for a result of either Satisfactory (S) or Not Yet Satisfactory
(NYS). If you receive a NYS result, you will be asked to redo the tasks again. To achieve a competent result with
this unit, all tasks need to be completed and marked as satisfactory. Your trainer/assessor will provide
feedback to you on each task, outlining where you must improve to achieve a Satisfactory (S) result. When all
tasks are marked as Satisfactory (S), you will receive a result of Competent (C) for this unit otherwise, you will
be marked Not Yet Competent (NYC). Assessments submitted to the trainer/assessor after the due date may
not be accepted, and you may have to pay a resubmission fee / adjustment may apply.
Students with Special Needs
If leaners/learners have any special needs (e.g. physical disability, learning difficulty) regarding assessment,
they should be directed to discuss these with the Course Coordinator. The college will endeavour to make all
possible and reasonable adjustments to any aspect of assessment in order to address those needs. Some
examples of additional support could include:
 Language, literacy and numeracy (LLN)
 Assistive technology
 Additional materials or tutorials
 Assistance in using technology for online delivery components.
Reasonable adjustment
Reasonable adjustment refers to any modification made to the learning environment, certification
requirements, training delivery or assessment method to help learners with a disability access and participate
in education and training on the same basis as those without disability (IBSA, 2015). The Disability Standards
for Education 2005 were formed under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. They clarify the obligations of
training providers to ensure that learners who have a disability are able to access and participate in education
and training on the same basis as those without disability.
Some examples of reasonable adjustments could include:
 Personal support services, e.g. a reader, Auslan interpreter, a scribe
 assistive technology or special equipment, e.g. screen readers, magnifiers, alternative keyboards
 modifying the presentation method, e.g. visual, oral, print, electronic
 adjustments to timeframes, e.g. providing materials prior to class, extended time limits
 adjustment of the physical environment, e.g. specific furniture, arrangement of classroom.
The determination of “reasonableness” requires judgement that must take into account the impact on the RTO
and the need to maintain the integrity of the qualification. While reasonable adjustments can be made to the

ways in which evidence of performance is gathered and demonstrated, the criteria for making Competent/Not
Yet Competent decisions (and/or awarding grades) should not be altered in any way. That is to say, the
standards expected should be the same irrespective of the group and/or individual being assessed (Disability
Standards for Education 2005).
Skill Recognition and Credit Transfer
Appropriate credit(s) may be granted to eligible students against each unit of competency on presentation of
evidence of successful completion of the same unit in an equivalent or higher qualification. Under the
Australian Qualifications Framework, this qualification recognises competencies achieved as part of a
Nationally Recognised Qualification from other institutes or universities.
Students may also apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) by providing evidence that they have the
required skills and knowledge in the specific areas of competency through work/industry experience and/or
completed eligible assessments in equivalent or higher qualification.
Please refer to college’s RPL/Credit Transfer Policy for more information and applicable procedures. The policy
is available either through the faculty coordinator or college’s website
Academic Policies and Procedures
Applicable policies and procedure related to this course including plagiarism, assessments, appeals and
complaints, can be found with the course coordinator as well as in the “Policies and Procedures” section of the
college’s website.
Submission of Work
All the written works must be submitted in a hard copy, and an additional soft/electronic copy if required by
the trainer/assessor, with an accompanying “Assessment Cover Sheet”. Each Assessment Cover Sheet should
be signed by the student and must contain student details and date of submission.
Material submitted for assessment—Word processed projects, reports, essays, projects, etc. must contain
student’s name, ID (if available). Within the context of these assessment tasks, the assessor fulfils the role of
client, manager or supervisor, as applicable. Work submitted for “approval” within this context must
demonstrate care and attention to detail, such that the student inspires confidence that the work is being
undertaken competently.
Where soft copy/electronic files are submitted, students are encouraged to name the files according to
established procedure. This would typically include a course or unit code, assessment or submission code, and
in the case of multiple files an alphanumeric identifier. Multiple files may also be required to be submitted
within an enclosing folder (with similar, appropriate naming conventions) or archive format—e.g. zip. Follow
submission guidelines in each assessment task for specific instructions.
