Assessment outcomes:
For unit of competency:
There are two outcomes for assessments: C = Competent and NYC = Not Yet
Competent (requires more training and experience).
You will be awarded C = Competent on completion of the unit when the assessor is satisfied
that you have completed all assessments and have provided the appropriate evidence
required to meet all criteria in line with the Rules of Evidence. If you fail to meet this
requirement, you will receive the result NYC = Not Yet Competent and will be eligible to be
re-assessed in accordance with the RGIT Re-Assessment Policy and RGIT Course Progress
Policy.
For assessment task:
There are two assessment outcomes for tasks. S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory.
On the individual assessment cover sheet for assessment tasks you will be marked
Satisfactory, if you have completed the task successfully, submitted all evidence and
satisfied the assessment criteria and Not Satisfactory, if you have not completed the task,
the evidence is not sufficient or does not meet the requirements of the assessment criteria.
Re-assessment:
If you are unsuccessful at achieving competency at the first attempt, you will be given two
further opportunities for re-assessment at a mutually agreed time and date. For further
details, refer to the RGIT Re-Assessment Policy and RGIT Course Progress Policy. As this is a
competency based program, the assessment continues throughout the program until you
either achieve Competency in the assessment tasks or a further training need is identified
and addressed.
Student access to records:
You have the right to access current and accurate records of your participation and results
at any time. You can see your results or attendance progress by logging in to the Learning
Management System at any time or you can request a copy of your records by contacting
the student administration and the assessor.
Support:
You may seek clarification about the assessment information and the instructions and tasks
at any time from the assessor.
Reasonable adjustments and special learning needs:
RGIT Australia works to ensure that students with recognized disadvantages can access and
participate in education and training on the same basis as other students. Disadvantages
may be based, for example, upon age, cultural background, physical disability, limited or non-
current industry experience, language, numeracy or digital literacy issues.
Where pre-training interviews and assessments reveal that a student may require special
support or where, after enrolment, it is made apparent that the student requires special
support, reasonable adjustments will be made to the learning environment, training

adjustment is reasonable if it can accommodate the student’s needs, while also taking into
account factors such as the student’s views, the potential effect of the adjustment on the

a. Be discussed, agreed and documented in the assessment record.
b. Benefit the student.
c. Maintain the integrity of the competency standards and course requirements as
stipulated in the training package.

e. Extending the course duration.
f. Presenting work instructions in diagrammatic or pictorial form instead of words
and sentences.
Complaints and appeals:
If you are dissatisfied with an assessment outcome, you may appeal the assessment
decision. In the first instance, you are encouraged to appeal informally by contacting the
assessor and discussing the matter with them. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of
such discussion, you may appeal further to either the course coordinator and/or Head of
Department. If you are still dissatisfied, you may appeal formally and in writing to have the
result reviewed. For more information, refer to the Assessment Policy and the Complaints
and Appeals Policy and Procedures.
Assessor intervention:
Assessors will check if you are ready for the assessment, and defer the assessment if you are
not. Feedback will be given to you at the completion of the assessment. During role play, the
assessor may act as a client or employer, where required, but the assessor will not interfere
with the assessment. If the assessment activities might impact on your safety or that of
others, the assessor will stop the assessment immediately.

RGIT considers plagiarism and cheating as a serious misdemeanour. Evidence of plagiarism
and cheating is treated on a case by case basis and the consequences for students engaging
in such practices may include failure of the assessment or unit or exclusion from the course.

The business is able to acquire the new technology of games and other related
equipment for the entertainment of the children as well. As with the previous
and current reports it was identified that hotel is having good use of
technology and other services like bar, swimming pool, garden but it was
assessed that the need of children is not met. Hence the hotel came up with
the idea of installing the different gaming equipment and other related
machines for the entertainment of the children segment as well. As per the
asset specification for this hotel need to implement major gaming technology
keeping in mind the need and requirement of children. For this hotel can
invite different estimation and quotation from the various suppliers. The
major financing option for the acquisition of the different types of games is
lease. As under this method the company can have access to the use of games
but they do not become the owners of the games.
Proposal
The two asset under consideration is accommodation equipment and the
kitchen equipment.
The cost of replacement of both the assets will be approximately $500- 600
and $800-1000 respectively.
Overall estimation of cost for both the asset including all the expenses is
around $2000-2500.
The asset can be acquired by either purchasing (straight line method for
depreciation) or by leasing.
The impact of acquiring the asset on the business will be positive in all aspect
as this will assist the company in improving its position and attain the goal
and aim in more effective way.
Task 3.4: Question and answer
 Answer all the questions

Q1: How did you ensure the information researched about costs of acquisition for the two
potential assets is current, accurate and relevant?
1. as all the need are being met by the acquisition of the asset so it can be stated that all the
information relating to cost is accurate and relevant.
2. further as the implementation of the technology is done in the intended manner and was
successful so it is assumed that information researched is currect and accurate.
Q2: How did you negotiate purchase and financial arrangements with the supplier? What
details did you discuss, why and what was the outcome of your discussions?
the purchase and financial arrangement was negotiated with the help of the ownership. The major reason
behind this fact is that with the help of the purchase the company can own the asset but with the financial
arrangement it is not necessary that the company becomes the owner.
Q3: What information about the acquisition process and the asset itself should you record
and file for later reference?
the acquisition amount and the data of purchasing the technology will be the information which will be
referenced for the later use.

games within the hotel are as follows-
The major feature is that the games must not hamper the environment like it must not include too high
noise and affect the other working of the hotel.
In addition to this the games must also include the safety and security measures to a great extent. The
major reason is that it the duty and responsibility of the hotel to take care of the people using games
as the hotel is liable for it and its running.
Another criterion is that there must be at least one person present at each of the game so that they can
guide the children how they have to operate the games. Further this is essential as in case of any
emergency the reported person will have to deal.
