Assessment instructions
Overview
Prior to commencing the assessments, your traine
assessor will explain each assessment task and the terms and conditions relating to the submission of your assessment task. Please consult with your traine
assessor if you are unsure of any questions. It is important that you understand and adhere to the terms and conditions, and address fully each assessment task.
Written work
Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding and underpinning skills and knowledge of the overall unit of competency. When undertaking any written assessment tasks, please ensure that you address the following criteria:
· Address each question including any sub-points
· Demonstrate that you have researched the topic thoroughly
· Cover the topic in a logical, structured manner
· Your assessment tasks are well presented, well referenced and word processed
Active participation
It is a condition of enrolment that you actively participate in your studies. Active participation is completing all the assessment tasks on time.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in a learner’s exclusion from a course. When you have any doubts about including the work of other authors in your assessment, please consult your traine
assessor. The following list outlines some of the activities for which a learner can be accused of plagiarism:
· Presenting any work by another individual as one's own unintentionally
· Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another learne
· Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work
· Handing in assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used, including assessments taken totally or in part from the internet.
If it is identified that you have plagiarised within your assessment, then a meeting will be organised to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.
Collusion
Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assignment as their own that is, in fact, the result in whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or persons. Collusion involves the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct and, as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary action.
Competency outcome
There are two outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory (requires more training and experience).
Once the learner has completed all the assessments for this unit of competency, the learner will be awarded “Competent” (C) or “Not Competent” (NC) for the relevant unit of competency.
Confidentiality
The college will treat anything, including information about your job, workplace, employer, with strict confidence, in accordance with the law. However, you are responsible for ensuring that you do not provide us with anything regarding any third party including your employer, colleagues and others, that they do not consent to the disclosure of. While we may ask you to provide information or details about aspects of your employer and workplace, you are responsible for obtaining necessary consents and ensuring that privacy rights and confidentiality obligations are not
eached by you in supplying us with such information.
Assessment appeals process
If you feel that you have been unfairly treated during your assessment, and you are not happy with your assessment and/or the outcome as a result of that treatment, you have the right to lodge an appeal. You must first discuss the issue with your traine
assessor. If you would like to proceed further with the request after discussions with your traine
assessor, you need to lodge your appeal via the complaint and appeal form which is available on the college website.
Recognised prior learning
Learners will be able to have their previous experience or expertise recognised on request.
Special needs
Learners with special needs should notify their traine
assessor to request any required adjustments as soon as possible. This will enable the traine
assessor to address the identified needs immediately.
Assessment requirements
Assessment can be:
· Direct observation
· Product-based methods e.g. reports, role plays, work samples
· Portfolios – annotated and validated
· Questioning.
The assessment activities in this workbook assess aspects of all the elements, performance criteria, skills and knowledge and performance requirements of the unit of competency.
To demonstrate competence in this unit, you must undertake all activities in this workbook and have them deemed satisfactory by the assessor. Once you have demonstrated the required level of performance, you will be deemed competent in this unit.
As part of the assessment process, all learners must abide by any relevant assessment policies as provided during induction.
