ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTION

BSBMGT605 - Provide leadership across the

organisation
Assessment Summary

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 are allowed to
work in groups up to a maximum of four people.

You are to complete all tasks by the due date and assessments must have a coversheet attached. 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.

Writing your responses

When answering questions, ensure that your answers are detailed enough to so the assessor can
draw a conclusion that you have the knowledge and/or skills to demonstrate competency.
Handwritten answers must be written in blue or black pen. When producing reports, ensure that
your project has 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 is copying someone else’s
work or ideas and saying that it your own work. Sources of work must be properly referenced,
outlining the source of your ideas. Penalties may include having to resubmit the assessment task
again, repeating the Unit of competency, or for repeat plagiarism, expulsion from Abbey Business
College.

Marking of Assessments

On submission of your assessment 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.

Unit of competency application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate senior leadership behaviour
and personal and professional competence. Business ethics are also addressed in this unit.

What happens if your result is ‘Not Yet Competent’ for one or more assessment tasks?

The assessment process is designed to answer the question “has the participant satisfactorily
demonstrated competence 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/redo your assessment
task(s).

What if you disagree on the assessment outcome?

You can appeal against a decision made in regard to an assessment of your competency. An appeal
should only be made if you have been assessed as ‘Not Yet Competent’ against specific competency
standards and you feel you have sufficient grounds to believe that you are entitled to be assessed as
competent.

You must be able to adequately demonstrate that you have the skills and experience to be able to
meet the requirements of the unit you are appealing against the assessment of.
You can request a form to make an appeal and submit it to your Trainer, the Course Coordinator, or
an 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 form.

What if I believe I am already competent before training?

If you believe you already have the knowledge and skills to be able to demonstrate competence in
this unit, speak with your Trainer, as you may be able to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL).

Credit Transfer
