Reasonable Adjustment
A reasonable adjustment is any measure or action that a student requires because of their
disability, and which has the effect of assisting the student to access and participate in education
and training on the same basis as students without a disability. An adjustment is reasonable if it
achieves this purpose while taking into account factors such as the nature of the student’s
disability, the views of the student, the potential effect of the adjustment on the student and others
who might be affected, and the costs and benefits of making the adjustment. ACTE will also
maintain the academic integrity of a course and to consider the requirements or components that
are inherent or essential to its nature when assessing whether an adjustment is reasonable. There
may be more than one adjustment that is reasonable in a given set of circumstances; ACTE will
make adjustments that are reasonable and that do not cause the RTO unjustifiable hardship.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

RPL is a formal process that recognises skills developed through previous training, work or life
experience, which match a unit of competency in a training course. If you believe you already have
the skills covered in this unit of competency, discuss this with your trainer, who will provide you
with instructions for applying for RPL.
National Recognition / Credit Transfer

Qualifications or statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations are
recognised by the College. Where this unit of competency is equivalent to a unit of competency
previously completed with another provider, credit transfer will be offered and the course length
adjusted accordingly. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the relevant evidence of
qualifications or statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations, which
will be verified by the College prior to credit transfer being applied.

Assessment Definitions

Formative assessment: The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to

provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by
students to improve their learning. More specifically, formative assessments:
• Help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work; and
• Help faculty recognise where students are struggling and address problems immediately
Formative assessments are generally low stakes, which means that they have low or no point
value.
Examples of formative assessments include asking students to:

• Draw a concept map in class to represent their understanding of a topic;
• Submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of a lecture; and
• Turn in a research proposal for early feedback.
Summative assessment: The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at

the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark. Summative
assessments are often high stakes, which means that they have a high point value. Examples of
summative assessments include:
• A mid unit assessment;

• A final project;
• A paper; and/or
• A role play.
Information from summative assessments can be used formatively when students or faculty use it
to guide their efforts and activities in subsequent courses.
Assignment: A task or piece of work allocated to someone as part of a job or course of study.
Project: an individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned to achieve a particular

aim.
Written Response: In a response submission, you do assess the item you’ve been assigned to
observe, but you add your personal reaction and impressions to the report. The steps for
completing response submission are:
• Observe or read the piece for an initial understanding;
• Re-read the piece and stop to reflect often;
• Record your thoughts and impressions in notes;
• Develop an opinion; and
• Write an outline.
