required to meet all criteria in line with the Rules of Evidence. If you fail to meet this
requirement, you will receive the result NYC = Not Yet Competent and will be eligible to be
re-assessed in accordance with the RTO Name Re-Assessment Policy and RTO Name Course
Progress Policy.
For assessment task:
There are two assessment outcomes for tasks. S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory.
On the individual assessment cover sheet for assessment tasks you will be marked
Satisfactory, if you have completed the task successfully, submitted all evidence and
satisfied the assessment criteria and Not Satisfactory, if you have not completed the task, the
evidence is not sufficient or does not meet the requirements of the assessment criteria.

If you are unsuccessful at achieving competency at the first attempt, you will be given two

Version 1.0
Reasonable adjustments and special learning needs:
RTO Name works to ensure that students with recognized disadvantages can access and
participate in education and training on the same basis as other students. Disadvantages
may be based, for example, upon age, cultural background, physical disability, limited or
non-current industry experience, language, numeracy or digital literacy issues.
Where pre-training interviews and assessments reveal that a student may require special
support or where, after enrolment, it is made apparent that the student requires special
support, reasonable adjustments will be made to the learning environment, training delivery,
learning resources and/or assessment tasks to accommodate the particular needs of the
student. An adjustment is reasonable if it can accommodate the student’s particular needs,
while also taking into account factors such as the student’s views, the potential effect of the
adjustment on the student and others and the costs and benefits of making the adjustment.
Any adjustments made must:
a. Be discussed, agreed and documented in the assessment record

b. Benefit the student.
c. Maintain the integrity of the competency standards and course requirements as
stipulated in the training package.
d. Be reasonable to expect in a
workplace. Reasonable adjustment may
consist of:
a. Providing additional time for students to complete learning and assessment tasks.
b. Presenting questions orally for students with literacy issues.
c. Asking questions in a relevant practical context.
d. Using large print material.
e. Extending the course duration.
f. Presenting work instructions in diagrammatic or pictorial form instead of words
and sentences.
Complaints and appeals:
If you are dissatisfied with an assessment outcome, you may appeal the assessment
decision. In the first instance, you are encouraged to appeal informally by contacting the
assessor and discussing the matter with them. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of
such discussion, you may appeal further to either the course coordinator and/or Head of
Department. If you are still dissatisfied, you may appeal formally and in writing to have the
result reviewed. For more information, refer to the RTO Name Assessment Policy and the RTO
Name Complaints and Appeals Policy and Procedures.

Version 1.0
Assessor intervention:
Assessors will check if you are ready for the assessment, and defer the assessment if you
are not. Feedback will be given to you at the completion of the assessment. During role
play, the assessor may act as a client or employer, where required, but the assessor will not
interfere with the assessment. If the assessment activities might impact on your safety or that
of others, the assessor will stop the assessment immediately.
Plagiarism, cheating and assessment dishonesty:
RTO Name considers plagiarism and cheating as a serious misdemeanour. Evidence of

plagiarism and cheating is treated on a case by case basis and the consequences for
students engaging in such practices may include failure of the assessment or unit or
exclusion from the course. For more information, refer to RTO Name’s Assessment Policy.
Assessor feedback:
Assessors will provide feedback on the assessment that you have submitted. This can identify
your strengths and weaknesses or be an overall comment on your submission. A copy of the
feedback along with your submission will be given to you and you must keep a copy of it
throughout the completion of the course.
