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:

Learner Activities BSBPMG521_V1.0

`
 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 assignment 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. Collusion
or copying from other learners is not permitted and will result in a “0” grade and NYC.
Assessments must be typed using document software such as (or similar to) MS Office.
Handwritten assessments will not be accepted (unless, prior written confirmation is provided
by the trainer/assessor to confirm).
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 module the learner will be
awarded “Competent” (C) or “Not yet Competent” (NYC) for the relevant unit of
competency.
If you are deemed “Not Yet Competent” you will be provided with feedback from your
assessor and will be given another chance to resubmit your assessment task(s). If you are still
deemed as “Not Yet Competent” you will be required to re-enrol in the unit of competency.
Reassessment
Students who receive a ‘NS’ for this assessment task may re-submit the assessment twice at
free of charge. If the student still does not pass or obtain satisfactory result in the first re-sit,
the student must re-sit/resubmit the assessment. If the student still does not pass or obtain
‘Competent’ for the Unit of Competency, he/she must enrol in the entire unit and pay a repeat
unit fee of $300 per unit.
Fail to complete by due date
If you fail to complete this assessment by the due date, your Assessor will record this
information in the comments section of the cover sheet of the Assessment Tool. Student will
be marked NS for this assessment task. (Unless prior approval from your assessor has been
confirmed for late assessments) Student must (a) notify the trainer and/or assessor in writing
(including the reason) 24 hours prior to the assessment to extend the due date and/or (b)
supply a doctor’s certificate within 24 hours after the initial assessment date in order to not
have a Not Satisfactory mark for this assessment.
A maximum of 3 attempts for assessments are allowed, each ‘Not Satisfactory’ attempt will
be reviewed by the Assessor and areas to focus on for further study will be recommended.
If after the 3rd attempt the student still cannot complete the assessment task satisfactorily,
the student will be required to repeat the unit and bear the re-enrolment costs and the
course duration may be affected.

Assessment requirements
Assessment can either be:
 Direct observation
 Product-based methods e.g. reports, role plays, work samples
 Portfolios – annotated and validated
 Questioning
 Third party evidence.
If submitting third party evidence, the Third Party Observation/Demonstration document
must be completed by the agreed third party.
Third parties can be:
 Supervisors
 Trainers
 Team members
 Clients
 Consumers.
The third party observation must be submitted to your trainer/assessor, as directed.
The third party observation is to be used by the assessor to assist them in determining
competency.
The assessment activities in this workbook assess aspects of all the elements, performance
criteria, skills and knowledge and performance requirements of the unit of competency.
To demonstrate competence in this unit you must undertake all activities in this workbook
and have them deemed satisfactory by the assessor. If you do not answer some questions or
perform certain tasks, and therefore you are deemed to be Not Yet Competent, your
trainer/assessor may ask you supplementary questions to determine your competence. Once
you have demonstrated the required level of performance, you will be deemed competent in
this unit.
Should you still be deemed Not Yet Competent, you will have the opportunity to resubmit
your assessments or appeal the result.
As part of the assessment process, all learners must abide by any relevant assessment policies
as provided during induction.
If you feel you are not yet ready to be assessed or that this assessment is unfair, please
contact your assessor to discuss your options. You have the right to formally appeal any
outcome and, if you wish to do so, discuss this with your trainer/assessor.
Observation/Demonstration
Throughout this unit, you will be expected to show your competency of the elements through
observations or demonstrations. Your trainer/assessor will have a list of demonstrations you
must complete or tasks to be observed. The observations and demonstrations will be
completed as well as the activities found in this workbook.
An explanation of observations and demonstrations:

Activities
Activity1A
Estimated
Time
60 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate the ability to identify,
clarify and prepare project initiation documentation.
1. What is a project initiation document?
2. Identify 4 types of project initiation documentation you may use in
your project initiation document, which are relevant to your
organisation.
3. Choose two of the project initiation documents you identified in
question 1A:2 and prepare these documents in accordance with
your organisational procedures. Attach copies to your workbook.
. 1 At the onset of a project, it is important to gather sufficient
amount of information on the nature of the project that
will be made. Compiling a project initiation document
would be the primary factor and form the base of the
project as a whole. It will outline the goals, the reason
for the project intake, the methodology, timelines of
delivery and the person who will undertake that
research. A premise if the agreement between the
management and client on the deliverables. A genuine
specification on the timeline will assist in later
management of the project and the resources. The PID
must be relevant and the detailed information should be
understandable by the stakeholders and the rest of the
people.
