Principles of Assessment
Based on Clauses 1.8 – 1.12 from the Australian Standards Quality Assurance’s (ASQA) Standards for Registered Training
Organizations (RTO) 2015, the learner would be assessed based on the following principles:
Fairness - (1) the individual learner’s needs are considered in the assessment process, (2) where appropriate, reasonable
adjustments are applied by the RTO to take into account the individual leaner’s needs and, (3) the RTO informs the
leaner about the assessment process, and provides the learner with the opportunity to challenge the result of the
assessment and be reassessed if necessary.
Flexibility – assessment is flexible to the individual learner by; (1) reflecting the learner’s needs, (2) assessing competencies held
by the learner no matter how or where they have been acquired and, (3) the unit of competency and associated
assessment requirements, and the individual.
Validity – (1) requires that assessment against the unit/s of competency and the associated assessment requirements covers the
broad range of skills and knowledge, (2) assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical
application, (3) assessment to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a leaner could demonstrate these skills
and knowledge in other similar situations and, (4) judgement of competence is based on evidence of learner
performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and associated assessment requirements.
Reliability – evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are comparable irrespective of
the assessor conducting the assessment
Rules of Evidence
Validity – the assessor is assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes, as described in the module of unit of
competency and associated assessment requirements.
Sufficiency – the assessor is assured that the quality, quantity and relevance of the assessment evidence enables a judgement to
be made of a learner’s competency.
Authenticity – the assessor is assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work. This would mean that
any form of plagiarism or copying of other’s work may not be permitted and would be deemed strictly as a ‘Not Yet
Competent’ grading.
Currency – the assessor is assured that the assessment evidence demonstrates current competency. This requires the
assessment evidence to be from the present or the very recent past.

Case study
Bounce Fitness comprises of four fitness centers where its head office is currently established in Cairns, Queensland. The other
centers are in Brisbane, (Queensland), Sydney, (New South Wales) and Melbourne, (Victoria). It is the intention of the Board of
Directors that a new center will be opened in Perth, (Western Australia).
It was established in 2001 by Margaret House as a single aerobic studio. After two years’ membership increases demanded the
small leased center be expanded and a new facility was built on land purchased by the organization. In 2004 a second center was
established in leased premises in Brisbane and then Sydney and Melbourne in the subsequent two years.
The Head Office remains in Cairns and a Board of Directors has been established to oversee the function of the business in all of
the centers. Each center has a Manager, who reports to the CEO in Cairns, and a team of permanently employed fitness instructors
and other casual instructors, all of whom report to the Center Manager. The business is operated on best business practice and
complies with all legislative requirements, local by-laws and is registered with the national body.
Bounce Fitness intends to market its brand through excellence in service and expertise to establish itself as a premier provider of
fitness and wellness in Australia. Much time is invested in training the Center staff to upgrade their professional skills and in
customer service to foster a loyal member base. Classes are innovative and varied with regular changes to routines and activities.
Bounce Fitness has developed choreographed fitness moves with accompanying music which is geared to the varying interests,
needs and goals of the member group. It is intended that all around Australia, gym and fitness center members will continue to be
enhancing personal performance through classes designed and produced by this business. Classes are coupled with state-of-the-
art fitness equipment to cater to those who prefer resistance training to aerobic workouts. Additional free weights allow for use by
even die-hard lifters.

All centers are carpeted in areas used for stationary activities, spacious, well-ventilated and air-conditioned to make the
environment as safe and comfortable as possible. They are light and feature wrap-around mirrored walls. The decor was designed
by a Brisbane firm and is updated every three years. There are showers, toilets, lockers.
Each center features a retail section selling fitness shoes, clothes and other related fitness items. There is a small cafeteria which is
leased to a provider who supplies healthy, low calorie drinks and light food. Each Center has regularly scheduled aerobic classes
ranging from high intensity to low intensity. The scheduling is left to each Center but must sustain a minimum average of twelve in
each class for them to continue to be held. The style of classes changes as new methods are developed to sustain interest and
provide variety.
Circuit classes are also scheduled for groups who move in a circuitous rotation around the different resistance equipment
sequentially as instructed by the Instructor. They are required to complete interval aerobic exercises during the completion of a
class to enhance the value of the workout.
Very low intensity classes are also held in age care facilities to keep residents active and incorporate light weights to keep them
healthy. This exercise contributes to the physical and mental health of participants as well as providing an interest in their day.
Special classes are held in high schools for senior students, sheltered workshops and other special situations as requested and are
operated at minimal or no cost as a community service.
Funding is primarily from memberships. Memberships are sold on one, three, six and twelve monthly basis on a decreasing fee
scale. Casual members are welcome, but the daily rate is a premium one.
Each Center sells memberships to 120%. This means that at peak times it could be quite crowded, but experience demonstrates
that there is a maximum of 80% usage.
The retail arm of the business accounts for about 30% of the takings from each center. The strategic plan for retail is set to increase
investment in sales this year to 35%. Each Center will be given a budget to develop and implement a sales and marketing plan to
trial. The most successful may be implemented nationally and will attract an incentive for the most successful Center.
The catering facilities are currently leased to private operators, and this is reconsidered during each annual planning session by the
Board, which produces 5% of the income, less than the rent off-set.
