 Assessment Submission rules and conditions
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 must work in groups
when the assessment is required and when that is the case you will be allocated in to groups by your
trainer in the class; hence your active presence is necessary
 Role play/presentation if part of the assessment must be done by all students. Photos or video may be
taken as part of the evidence.
You are to complete all tasks by the due date and assessments must have a coversheet attached. Online
submission opens one week prior to the due week and cut-off date is set on Saturday at 11:55pm in the week
of due date. 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. Assessment tasks submitted late may not be
accepted by your trainer/assessor, leaving the learner with a Did Not Submit (DNS) result.

Writing your responses

When answering questions, ensure that your answers are detailed enough so the assessor can draw a conclusion
that you have the knowledge and/or skills to demonstrate competency. When producing reports, please make
sure that your project has the following complete information:

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/ Academic Misconduct

Plagiarism by a student will result in an automatic ‘NYS’, and as well as being recorded, may result in further
disciplinary action such as a student’s exclusion from a course. Plagiarism is presenting and using someone else’s
work, writings or ideas as your own with or without their consent.

Some examples of plagiarism as follows

 Presenting work by another individual as one’s own unintentionally

 Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another student
 Handing in assessments without the sufficient acknowledgement of sources used, including
assessments taken totally or in part from the Internet

Academic misconduct is a serious matter and any breach of misconduct will be treated seriously as per the Policy
of the organisation. Impersonating or allowing another individual to impersonate you, for the purpose of
completing an assessment or presentation is considered a fraud.

Marking of Assessments

On submission of your assessment it 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 a resubmission fee.
