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.
If you submit assessment by the due date and deemed ‘NYC’, you will be provided another opportunity to submit assessment without any penalty. However, failure to submit by the due date will cease any free resubmission opportunity.
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.
If you do not agree with an assessment decision, you can make an assessment appeal as per your SCA’s assessment appeals process.
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?
Each assessment task in this booklet consists of the following:
Assessment Task Cover Sheet
This must be filled out, signed and submitted with your assessment responses.
You required to submit this assessment task electronically, please complete the Assessment coversheet and signed electronically or print your name. Your assessor will provide your feedback electronically either by an email or through the learning management system. Your assessments should be typed in an 11 or 12 size font for ease of reading.
Your assessor will also discuss this verbally with you and provide advice on reassessment opportunities as per your SCA’s reassessment policy.
Depending on the task, this may include:
• resubmitting incorrect answers to questions (such as written questions and case studies)
• resubmitting part or all of a project, depending on how the error impacts on the total outcome of the task
• redoing a role play after being provided with appropriate feedback about your performance
• being observed a second (or third time) undertaking any tasks/activities that were not satisfactorily completed the first time, after being provided with appropriate feedback.
Your Trainer / Assessor will advise you should there be any change.

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:
