General Assessment Information

Prior to Assessment

Your trainer/assessor will provide you with all relevant information relating to the assessments prior to commencement, and of the appeals procedure that can be utilised if you wish to appeal against the assessment outcome or make a complaint.

If you have any trouble understanding the instructions or any part of the assessment, please speak to your trainer/assessor.

Results

You will be informed of the outcome of your assessment as soon as possible from the date the assessment was submitted. Prompt feedback will be offered to you on the outcome of the assessment. Feedback will be delivered in written and where possible, verbal form. to you.

Submitting Assessments

You should submit assessment tasks with the provided cover sheet.

It is preferable that tasks submitted for assessment are typed. Where this is not possible, room is provided in the assessment guide for short answers. You are expected to write clearly. Unreadable assessment tasks may be returned unmarked.

You should submit assessments on, or before, their due date. Extensions for individual assessment tasks may be negotiated in specific circumstances. Consultation on this must occur prior to the due date and extensions due to illness will require a medical certificate. Extensions will be confirmed by your assessor, in writing.

Where assessment tasks are submitted following the conclusion of the unit of competency without a medical certificate or extension, a re-assessment fee for each assessment task then submitted, will be charged.

Summary- A summary is a condensed version of the original text that highlights the main or key ideas in YOUR own words.  So, if you were going to summarise a chapter, it might be a page.  If you were going to summarise a paragraph, it might be a couple of lines.

Paraphrase – So you have found information that is perfect for your research paper. Read it and put it into your own words.

Quote – When quoting a source, use the quote exactly the way it appears.

‘According to Smith (2013) information technology has rapidly…’

Reference – Correct referencing techniques require that you acknowledge the source of your information in two places:

· in the text of your writing at the point where you use someone else’s ideas or information (known as in-text referencing or ‘citing’) e.g.

· in a list at the end of your assessment (known as a reference list).

· Don’t leave it to the end – create your list of references as you do your work.

· Don’t wait until you have finished the assessment. It is not sufficient just to have a list of references at the end – the references must be made or correctly cited in the body of your work.

Assessment Outcomes

There are two (2) outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory (requires more training and experience).

You will be awarded C = Competent on completion of the unit when the assessor is satisfied that you have completed all assessments and provided the appropriate evidence required to meet all criteria. If you fail to meet this requirement, you will receive the result NC = Not Competent and will be eligible to be re-assessed according to ICV’s policy and procedures.

Re-assessment

You will be allowed to have two (2) further attempts at an assessment for which the outcome is Not Satisfactory, within the timeframe. of a course (unit of competency). No additional fees will be charged.

If you require re-assessment beyond the delivery timeframe. of a unit or due date of an assessment, unless it is due to medical reasons, you will be given the opportunity to request an additional period of time to resubmit. During this time, you can request a mentoring session if required. After that you will be charged a re-assessment fee.

If you require further time for medical reasons, you must request it in writing ICV Training Manager.

Student Appeals

Students have the right to appeal an unfavourable decision or finding during assessment. All student appeals must be made in writing using the Appeals Form. and specify the particulars of the decision or finding in dispute. Appeals must be lodged within 28 days of the decision or finding
