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.
a. Providing additional time for students to complete learning and assessment tasks.
b. Presenting questions orally for students with literacy issues.

The BBQ fun board of directors and CEO have decided to implement an e-commerce strategy to maintain or increase market share and revenue and
satisfy customer needs in line with company strategic directions.
Under the strategy, BBQ fun now offers all products in an online store. Stock is stored at no extra cost at existing stores. Customers cover delivery costs.
The BBQ fun website now has e-commerce functionality. The website has been redeveloped to incorporate this functionality in line with relevant technical
specifications after you consulted with specialist managers. Existing infrastructure, such as office and store configurations, has been adapted to the new
strategy. Additionally, assets such as delivery vehicles have been acquired. New staff has been recruited and existing staff retrained or informed of the e-
commerce strategy and associated operational and performance targets.
All resourcing should have been acquired and operations undertaken in accordance with relevant external standards, such as legislation and codes of
practice, and internal standards, such as organisational policies and procedures and performance targets.
It is now 1 January 2022. E-Commerce operations were expected to be underway by 1 October 2022.
