ASSESSMENT INFORMATION FOR
LEARNERS
Throughout your training we are committed to your learning by providing a training
and assessment framework that ensures the knowledge gained through training is
translated into practical on the job improvements.
You are going to be assessed for:

 Your skills and knowledge using written and observation activities that apply
to the workplace.
 Your ability to apply your learning.
 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.
How you will be assessed

The process we follow is known as competency-based assessment. This means that
evidence of your current skills and knowledge will be measured against national
standards of best practice, not against the learning you have undertaken either recently
or in the past. Some of the assessment will be concerned with how you apply your skills
and knowledge in the workplace, and some in the training room as required by each
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.

The assessor will also have determined if you have any special needs to be considered
during assessment. Changes can be made to the way assessment is undertaken to
account for special needs and this is called making Reasonable Adjustment.
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.
What if you disagree on the assessment outcome?

You can appeal against a decision made in regards to your assessment. An appeal should only
be made if you have been assessed as ‘Not Yet Competent’ against a specific unit 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 units you are appealing the assessment of.
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.
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).
Assessor Responsibilities
Assessors need to be aware of their responsibilities and carry them out appropriately.
To do this they need to:
 Ensure that participants are assessed fairly based on the outcome of the
language, literacy and numeracy review completed at enrolment.
 Ensure that all documentation is signed by the learner, trainer, workplace
supervisor and assessor when units and certificates are complete, to ensure
that there is no follow-up required from an administration perspective.
 Ensure that their own qualifications are current.
 When required, request the manager or supervisor to determine that the

learner is ‘satisfactorily’ demonstrating the requirements for each unit.
‘Satisfactorily’ means consistently meeting the standard expected from an
experienced operator.
 When required, ensure supervisors and learners sign off on third party
assessment forms or third party report.
 Follow the recommendations from moderation and validation meetings.
How should I format my assessments?

Your assessments should be typed in an 11 or 12 size font for ease of reading. You must
include a footer on each page with the learner name, unit code and date. Your
assessment needs to be submitted as a hardcopy or electronic copy as requested by
your trainer.
How long should my answers be?

The length of your answers will be guided by the description in each assessment, for
example:
Type of Answer Answer Guidelines
Short Answer 4 typed lines = 50 words, or
5 lines of handwritten text
Long Answer 8 typed lines = 100 words, or

1
10 lines of handwritten text = of a foolscap page
3
Brief Report 500 words = 1 page typed report, or

1
50 lines of handwritten text = 1 foolscap handwritten pages
2

Mid Report 1,000 words = 2 page typed report
Long Report 2,000 words = 4 page typed report
How should I reference the sources of information I use in my

assessments?
Include a reference list at the end of your work on a separate page. You should reference
the sources you have used in your assessments in the Harvard Style. For example:
 Website Name – Page or Document Name, Retrieved insert the date. Webpage
link.
 For a book: Author surname, author initial Year of publication, Title of book,
Publisher, City, State.

ASSESSMENT GUIDE
The following table shows you how to achieve a satisfactory result against the criteria
for each type of assessment task. The following is a list of general assessment methods
that can be used in assessing a unit of competency. Check your assessment tasks to
