Assessment Information
You are advised to start working on your assessment in Week 1 of term and submit all tasks by
their due date. It is a condition of enrolment that you actively participate in your studies. The
following information includes general assessment requirements and information for students
at ALG.
About your Assessments
A requirement of the qualification you are undertaking is the application of the knowledge and
skills you have been learning. The assessment tasks are an essential 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.
Assessment Evidence
Your completed assessment tasks will provide evidence for your trainer to determine whether
you have successfully performed and satisfied all the requirements to achieve competency.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
This is a process of recognising student’s formal and informal learning from work experience
that is related to the qualification being studied in Australia. Students will need to provide
documented evidence of their learning, which will then be assessed by an ALG assessor to
determine the competency outcomes of the qualification. Other forms of recognition include:
• Recognition of Current Competencies (RCC)
This is a process of recognising students’ current knowledge and skills gained from current
work experience.
• Direct Credit Transfer (CT)
This is a process of crediting students’ completed units through an Australian Training Provider.
Students will need to provide a Statement of Attainment or Transcript as evidence to be
granted credit for a unit of competency.
Reasonable Adjustment
This process supports a student who has an impairment, disability, or long-term condition. This
may include modifying course material, modifying or providing equipment as well as modifying
an environment. ALG provides reasonable adjustment for a student to complete required
assessments. This may take place online and/or in the workplace. Please refer to the student
handbook link here for further information or refer to the ALG website.
NOTE: Any modification cannot affect competency outcomes.

Plagiarism
This is when a student presents someone else’s work as their own, which is also known as
academic misconduct. Any form of plagiarism will be treated seriously. The assessment will be
graded NYC. To understand and prevent plagiarism, please refer to the student handbook, link
here.
Harvard Referencing
This is an academic referencing system. Students are required to give credit to the original
authors when using direct information from textbooks, journal articles, newspapers, websites,
eBooks and blogs. Please refer to the student handbook, link here.
Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN)
This is a student support program provided by ALG to assist students who may need extra help
with their reading, writing and communication skills to successfully progress through their
course. Students may be encouraged to attend weekly LLN classes delivered for 1 hour
between weeks two and nine of each term. Please refer to this link for further information. To
view available sessions and make a booking for an LLN Support Class, click here.
Assessment Submissions
In Canvas there is information on how to submit assessments. This can be found in the
Introduction Module ('How to submit assessments’). Please ensure your name, email, term, and
assessment task name are clearly marked on all each assessment cover sheet. Your
assessment cannot be accepted without a completed cover sheet. Students are responsible for
keeping a copy of any submitted assessment tasks. ALG will not be responsible for lost or
misplaced submissions.
NOTE: Please make sure all assessments are submitted in the correct area of Canvas.
Declaration of Authenticity
This is a form declaring that all your submitted assessments have been written in your own
words and have been completed by only you. You do this by filling out the cover sheet at the
front of this assessment.
Assessment Outcome
The assessor will decide whether the assessment meets the necessary criteria to achieve
competency for each unit in your course. They will then issue an outcome after the assessment
has been marked. Each assessment task will receive an outcome of either Satisfactory (S) or
Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS). Students must complete all tasks and gain a Satisfactory outcome
to achieve an overall grade of Competent (C) for each Unit of Competency in a qualification. If
one or more tasks are assessed as Not Yet Satisfactory, students will gain an overall mark of
Not Yet Competent (NYC) and will need to resubmit assessments relating to the unit. A NYC
grade may result in a student repeating the term.

Assessment Attempts
Students have three (3) attempts. Please refer to the following information:
• Attempt 1 – Submitted by the due date.
• Attempt 2 – Resubmission must be within 3 business days of notification of an 'NYS' outcome
and students must following the assessor’s feedback on what to resubmit.
• Attempt 3 – Resubmission must be within 3 business days of notification of 'NYS' outcome
and students must following the assessor’s feedback on what to resubmit.
NOTE: For any assessments due in week 9 & 10 of the term (original or first submission) of any
late assessment will only have one resubmission attempt. Please refer to the student handbook
for further information, link is here.
Assessment Appeals
This process is available when a student disagrees with the assessment outcome. The appeal
requires the student to complete the Complaint/Appeal online form, available on the ALG
website, link is here. Students can also refer to the Student Handbook for more information
about our appeals process, link is here.
Providing Feedback
A form in Canvas is available for students to give feedback about learning resources and
assessments at any time. This form is located under the help function, link is here. At the end
of each term, students are emailed a survey to share their experiences with ALG, including any
feedback on their trainer’s engagement and teaching styles.
Written answer question guidance
Each question in the assessment will outline how much information you should provide in your
answer. Questions will state the word count (ie. 100 -200 words) or how many answers to list.
Written questions also use a range of “instructional words” such as “identify” or “explain”,
which tell you how you should answer the question. Use the definitions below to assist you to
provide the type of response expected.
