Reasonable adjustments
TasCollege enables reasonable adjustments to be made to assessment procedures for students with
special needs, such as people with disabilities or with language or literacy difficulties. Assessing
knowledge is usually assessed through written or oral, short‑answer tests where assessors seek to
determine the extent of the student’s knowledge. However, you may need to do the following for a
student with disability:

• Ask questions orally instead of in a written format

• Provide equipment such as text enlargers, image enhancers, and voice recorders.
• Give the student more time to complete the assessment;
• Allocate a different time for completion of the assessment;
• Offer a separate, quiet room.
• Modifying or providing equipment
• Adapting delivery strategies
• Ensuring that course activities are sufficiently flexible
• Providing additional support to student where necessary
• Customizing resources and activities within the training package or accredited course
• Monitoring the adjustments to ensure student needs continue to be met
“I understand all the above rules and guidelines for the assessment”.

performance in the workplace. The core skills of the ACSF include reading, writing, oral communication,
numeracy and learning.
Foundation skills encompass the core skills of reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy and
learning as described by the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF), and the Employability Skills/Core
Skills for Work. They exist on a continuum from very basic skills to highly-developed and specialist skills.
The foundation skills have been addressed in this assessment.
Assessment Process
To demonstrate competence in this unit, you must undertake all tasks in this assessment booklet and
complete them satisfactorily and in addition, also satisfactorily complete the practical assessment,
including demonstrating communication skills during the practical activities. If you do not answer some
questions or perform some tasks satisfactorily and therefore are deemed to be ‘Not Competent’, you
may be asked supplementary questions or given alternative activities to determine competence, which
will be documented in your student file. After you have demonstrated consistency in performance you
will be awarded this unit.
As part of the assessment process, you must abide by any relevant assessment policies as provided to
you. If you feel you are not yet ready to be assessed or this assessment is unfair, please discuss with
your assessor all options that are available to you to enable you to complete the assessment.
Submitting Assessments
You should submit assessment tasks with the provided cover sheet.
Assessments should be submitted on or before their due date. Extensions for individual assessment
tasks may be negotiated in specific circumstances. Consultation on this must occur prior to the due date
and extensions due to illness will require a medical certificate. Extensions must be confirmed by the
Trainer/Assessor in writing.
Plagiarism and Referencing
All students are reminded that plagiarism will not be tolerated. Information, ideas etc. quoted or
paraphrased from another source, must be acknowledged with “quotation marks” around the relevant
words/sentences or ideas and cited at the end of the document. Sources of information, ideas etc. must

and experience).
You will be awarded a ‘Competent’ grade on completion of the unit when the trainer/assessor is
satisfied that you have completed all assessments and have provided the appropriate evidence required
to meet all criteria. If you fail to meet this requirement you will receive the result of Not Competent and
will be eligible to be re-assessed.

Re-assessment
Students will be allowed two (2) further attempts at an assessment for which the outcome is Not
Satisfactory, within the timeframe of a course (unit of competency) and in this time they can request a
coaching session as required. No additional fees will be charged.
Students who require re-assessment beyond the delivery timeframe of a unit or due date of an
assessment, unless it is due to medical reasons, will be given the opportunity to request additional time
to resubmit and in this time, they can also request a coaching session as required. After that students
may be charged a re-assessment fee.

participation of students with disability in teaching, learning and assessment activities. This includes:
 ensuring that course activities are sufficiently flexible;

 providing additional support where necessary; and
 offering a reasonable substitute within the context of the course where a student cannot
participate
Reasonable adjustment is defined in section 4 (1) of the Employment and the Disability Discrimination
Act as ‘an adjustment to be made by a person is a reasonable adjustment unless making the adjustment
would impose an unjustifiable hardship on the person’.
Reasonable adjustment as it applies to participation in learning and assessment activities may include:
 customising resources or activities within a training package or accredited course;

 modifying a presentation medium;
 providing additional support;
 providing assistive or adaptive technologies;

Tassie Hardrock Enterprises – an Overview
Tassie Hardrock Enterprises is a large organisation that manufactures household appliances including
electronic gadgets. The company has been operating for 25 years and is based in Tasmania. It now has
200 employees and is seen as a market leader because of its commitment to quality and durable
products. Tassie Hardrock supplies to retail stores across Australia and to customers directly from its
show room in one of its largest factories in Hobart.
In 2010, Tassie Hardrock merged with a retail household appliances company, hoping to expand its
breadth of consumers as many of the stores were located in highly sprawling suburbs in Melbourne.
Unfortunately, due to poor planning and communication, the merger was not successful. Some 50
employees were impacted by the merger, either by a restructure and redesign of their jobs, or by a
forced redundancy.
Operationally, Tassie Hardrock’s objectives include having all products meet their standard of excellence
guidelines, including customer service, guarantee on finesse and quality materials used in the
manufacturing process. Management would also like to see 30 per cent of sales made online to reduce
overheads.
Tassie Hardrock has recently come under new management. The management team that now reports to
the board is significantly younger and more innovative than their predecessors. The new team believes
the organisational objectives are strong, but that the processes and structures of the organisation need
some work.
Tassie Hardrock’s key objectives are currently based around expansion. Management wants to expand
sales to new customers by offering new product releases each year. They feel it is important to invest in
research, and to follow trends in Europe and the US to ensure their products have the latest designs and
are attractive to customers.
The majority of middle managers, such as supervisors and department managers, have been with the
company for more than 20 years. They will have to implement changes with their teams. Some of them
have already expressed they are hesitant to change due to having experienced the failed merger in
2010.
