been submitted for academic credit elsewhere, and acknowledge that the assessor of this item may,
for the purpose of assessing this item:
reproduce this assessment item and provide a copy to another member of the Institute; and/or,
communicate a copy of this assessment item to a plagiarism checking service (which may
then retain a copy of the assessment item on its database for the purpose of future plagiarism
checking).
I understand that it is my responsibility to read all the policies relevant to my course and
college and if I am found to be in breach of policy, disciplinary action may be taken against
me.
Read through the assessments in this booklet before you fill out and sign the agreement
below. Make sure you sign this before you start any of your assessments.
Do you agree to the way in which you are being assessed? Yes No
Assessment outcomes
Once the assessment has been completed the student will be given the result within 14 days.
Once the student has satisfactorily completed the required assessments for a unit of
competency he/she will receive an outcome of C (Competent) or otherwise NYC (Not Yet
Competent) in which case the student is entitled to apply for a resubmission of the assessment.
Reasonable adjustments
Wherever possible, trainers/assessors will make reasonable adjustments to training and
assessment processes to ensure all people are treated equally in the training and assessment
process.
Students who have special needs may be allowed reasonable adjustment at the time of
assessment in line with the Albright Institute’s Policy and Procedures.
To meet the needs of all learners’ adjustments can be made to the way assessments are
conducted but not to the requirements of the assessment. The purpose of these adjustments is
to enhance fairness and flexibility so that the specific needs of students can be met.
Examples of reasonable adjustments
providing additional time for student to practice the assessment tasks
presenting questions orally for students with literacy issues
asking questions in a relevant practical context
adapting machinery and equipment to make it more easily used
presenting work instructions in diagrammatic or pictorial form instead of words and
sentences
simplifying the design of tasks
It is the responsibility of each assessor to assess students’ needs and make whatever reasonable
adjustments are practicable to maximise a students’ opportunity to demonstrate their
competence.
Assessment re-submission
If a student is deemed NYC (not yet competent) the Trainer/Assessor (TRN) will explain why and
inform the student of what needs to be completed in order to demonstrate competence.
Re-assessment for assessments only occurs if the student has previously submitted the
assessment or has missed the relevant session(s) and has been afforded special consideration
which is approved by the Administration department.
If the result for the first submission of an assessment is NYC, students will be given two re-
submission opportunities to achieve a competent result (this re-assessment is conducted free
of charge). A suitable time will be arranged for the reassessment to occur within 14 days of the
completion of the unit in question. Should a student either not make an attempt within this time
frame (in spite of all efforts by Albright Institute, its Trainer/Assessor and administration staff to
have the student attend a reassessment session) or the student does not achieve a satisfactory
result after two re-assessments they may be charged for another attempt.
Should the student still not achieve competence after these assessment attempts, it will be
necessary for them to re-enrol in (repeat) the unit of competence at a cost.
Assessment appeals
You can make an appeal about an assessment decision by filling an appeal form. Ask for an
appeal for from a student support officer. Refer to Albright Institute’s Assessment Policy for more
information about our appeals process.
Plagiarism Policy

Case study
This case study was written by Ernst & Young LLP. The story it examines, of
Westfield Insurance’s occupational change management saga, takes on
nearly universal themes from the business world and is something that every
insurance professional, especially those in leadership positions, needs to read.
The effect that large-scale change could have on morale and engagement
of employees is a major concern and potential risk for operational leaders. A
decrease in morale and engagement may impact customer service, which is
also a significant risk. Additionally, a workforce that is not highly engaged will
Question 9: resist change — taking longer for expected benefits to be achieved.
Many insurers are undertaking major change initiatives to transform their
operational capabilities, modernise technology and adjust to new market
realities. Some of the risks associated with large scale change programmes
include lack of employee engagement and results in people and teams
across the organisation resisting strategic change and refusing to adopt new
tools and processes. The impact on performance can be significant, as
customer service is disrupted and the expected value from very large
investments never materialises.
Westfield Insurance (“Westfield”), an Ohio-based P&C carrier, has leveraged a
holistic organisational change management (OCM) approach to deliver
impressive results on a multi-year claims transformation program. In fact,
Westfield accomplished a very rare feat: actually, boosting employee
satisfaction and engagement during a time of significant change.
While the broad-based nature of the change would challenge many
organisations, Westfield’s leaders, using a coordinated and multifaceted OCM
approach, have actually increased employee engagement.
Key strategies that have enabled the program’s success have been high-
profile executive sponsorship, cross-functional stakeholder alignment, regular
and tailored communications, comprehensive training plans, and an extensive
“change champion” network.
This article highlights Westfield’s experience in keeping its associates engaged
through a robust OCM program tailored to its specific needs, transformation
methodology and culture.

Case study
When Jack Welch assumed the top position at General Electric in 1981, he
inherited a company that had a market value of $12 billion — certainly a
modest number, by today’s standards. By the time he left in 1998, GE was
worth $280 billion. While leading GE, Welch was charged with the task of
making the conglomerate better by any means necessary. With his gut telling
him that his company was due for a complete overhaul, Welch decided to
implement Six Sigma at GE in 1995. Quite simply, Six Sigma is a methodology
that aims to reduce defects and errors in all processes, including transactional
processes and manufacturing processes. Organizations that use Six Sigma test
their processes again and again to make sure that they are as close to perfect
Question 10: as possible. Jack Welch discussed and obtained approvals from relevant
authorities in GE especially the board members to confirm the change
management processes and five years after Welch’s decision to implement Six
Sigma and making sure all team members are with him, GE had saved a mind-
blowing $10 billion. Welch claimed to have spent as much as half of his time
working on people issues. By assembling the right team and ingraining them
with the right management philosophies, Welch successfully oversaw the
transformation of GE from a relatively strong company to a true international
juggernaut.
