Your ability to recognise common principles and actively use these on the job.
All of your assessment and training is provided as a positive learning tool. Your assessor
will guide your learning and provide feedback on your responses to the assessment
materials until you have been deemed competent in this unit.
The assessment tasks have been designed to enable you to demonstrate the
requirements of the performance criteria and knowledge in this unit to successfully
demonstrate competency at the required standard.
Your assessor will ensure that you are ready for assessment and will explain the
assessment process. Your assessment tasks will outline the evidence to be collected and
how it will be collected, for example; a written activity, case study, or demonstration and
observation.
What happens if your result is ‘Not Yet Competent’ for one or more
assessment tasks?
Our assessment process is designed to answer the question “has the desired learning
outcome been achieved yet?” If the answer is “Not yet”, then we work with you to see
how we can get there.
In the case that one or more of your assessments has been marked ‘NYC’, your trainer
will provide you with the necessary feedback and guidance, in order for you to resubmit
your responses.
Your trainer will outline the appeals process, which is available to the learner. You can request a
form to make an appeal and submit it to your trainer, the course coordinator, or the
administration officer. The RTO will examine the appeal and you will be advised of the outcome
within 14 days. Any additional information you wish to provide may be attached to the appeal
form.
