ASSESSMENT INFORMATION

Objective of Assessment

The primary objective of assessment is to support and encourage your learning.

Assessment results give the assessor an indication of how well you learnt in class and or areas you may need extra support.  

Assessment Feedback and support throughout the Assessment Progress  

Your assessor will give you feedback throughout the duration of the unit you are studying and after assessment results. The feedback given to you will always be to support your achievements and to monitor your progress throughout your studies. 

Supporting for you in the Assessment Process

The assessment processes selected by the assessor should offer the participant the appropriate level of support.  While some participants will not require a great deal of support, there will be others with particular needs.  If the assessor is aware of these needs, he or she will be better able to assist participants to identify their skills.  Participants will then feel more confident as they prepare for assessment – enabling them to focus on providing evidence against the specified criteria in a way that is known to be acceptable to the assessor

Assessment eligibility

To be eligible to sit in assessment you must have satisfactory course progress. 

If you do not have satisfactory course progress you need to get an approval from academic department which allow you to sit in your assessment

  • Should you not be successful in your attempt your assessor will provide directive feedback to guide to success in your second attempt.
  • Should further assistance be required your assessor will provide you with one on one tutoring and or extra classes may be organised for you to attend.
  • Assessment reasonable adjustment may be exercised by your assessor at their discretion
  • If you are not successful in your first 3 assessment attempts, you will be required to pay for any consecutive attempts.

  • If you are caught cheating twice or more, you will be required to pay for your re-assessment
  • You will be asked to leave the classroom
