time. You can see your results or attendance progress by requesting a copy of your records by

Support:
You may seek clarification about the assessment information and the instructions and tasks at any
time from the assessor.

Reasonable adjustments and special learning needs:


Astral Institute 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.
