Assessment Tasks Overview
| Task | Description |
|---|---|
| Assessment 1 (Knowledge Evidence) | Short Answer Questions<br><br>In this assessment, you will demonstrate a sound knowledge of the unit requirements through completing and submitting written questions.<br><br>You must correctly answer all questions to show that you understand the knowledge required of this unit. |

Important Guidelines
- In order to be assessed as Competent (C) in this unit you need to provide evidence that demonstrates that you can perform the required competencies to the required standard.
- In order to avoid plagiarism, you must acknowledge and reference sources and must give credit appropriately.
- You must use the APA 6th Referencing style. You must contact your assessor for guidance on how to reference. You could also complete a free tutorial on referencing at: The Basics of APA Style® https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/tutorials-webinars
- The following are some types of references that must be acknowledged:
- Direct quotations – using another person's exact words, placing words in quotation marks (for shorter quotes) or indent paragraphs (for longer quotes)
- Paraphrases of another person's words or ideas – using someone else's ideas in your own words. When you paraphrase, you must cite the source of the ideas
- Summarise another person's ideas – a short summary of the original text, including only the main points of the original author's ideas or argument. To avoid plagiarism, you must cite the source whenever you summarise another person's work
- Tables, figures, graphs, diagrams or images obtained from any source – you must acknowledge the original source of all tables, figures, graphs, diagrams or images
- Information obtained from lectures and personal communication – you must acknowledge the source of the information
- Competency depends on consistently demonstrating the skills, attitudes and knowledge that enable you to complete workplace tasks confidently in a variety of situations.
- If you have any difficulties in understanding any of these forms or instructions, please speak to your trainer/assessor.
- You must record your handwritten/typed responses in the assessment pack. You can attach additional pages if required.
- You must read and complete the Assessment Cover sheet.
- Your assessor will:
- Complete the Assessment Task Outcome Record for each assessment task
- Provide you with feedback for all assessment tasks
- Mark the assessment task as satisfactory or unsatisfactory
- Sign the Assessment Task Outcome Record
How to Submit Your Assessments
When you have completed each assessment, you will need to submit it to your assessor. Instructions about submission can be found at the beginning of each assessment task. Make sure you photocopy your written activities before you submit them – your assessor will put the documents you submit into your student file.
Assessment Task Cover Sheet
At the beginning of each task in this booklet, you will find an Assessment Task Cover Sheet. Please fill it in for each task, making sure you sign the student declaration.
Your assessor will give you feedback about how well you went in each task, and will write this on the back of the Task Cover Sheet.
Assessment Outcomes
Once the assessment has been completed, the student will be given the result within 14 days. Once the student has satisfactorily completed the required assessments for a unit of competency he/she will receive an outcome of C (Competent) or otherwise NYC (Not Yet Competent) in which case the student is entitled to apply for a resubmission of the assessment.
Reasonable Adjustments
According to AIBL's policy, assessment processes and techniques should consider the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the student in relation to the competency being assessed.
If you are unable to complete the assessment in this format, you must inform your assessor and they may arrange for you to take the assessment in an alternative format.
Assessment Re-submission
If a student has been deemed NYC (not yet competent), the Trainer/Assessor (TRN) will explain why and inform the student of what needs to be completed in order to demonstrate competence.
Re-assessment for assessments only occurs if the student has previously submitted the assessment or has missed the relevant session(s) and has been afforded special consideration that is approved by the Administration department.
If the result for the first submission of an assessment is NYC, students will be given two re-submission opportunities to achieve a competent result (this re-assessment is conducted free of charge). A suitable time will be arranged for the reassessment to occur within 14 days of the completion of the unit in question. Should a student either not make an attempt within this time frame (in spite of all efforts by Albright Institute, its Trainer/Assessor and administration staff to have the student attend a reassessment session) or the student does not achieve a satisfactory result after two re-assessments they may be charged for another attempt.
Should the student still not achieve competence after these assessment attempts, it will be necessary for them to re-enrol in (repeat) the unit of competence at a cost.
Assessment Appeals
You can make an appeal about an assessment decision by filling an appeal form. Ask for an appeal form from a student support officer. Refer to Albright Institute's Assessment Policy for more information about our appeals process.
Plagiarism Policy
All student work must be written in their own words, except where acknowledged through quotations and referencing. Plagiarism is a serious offence; Albright Institute may impose severe penalties on students who plagiarise.
For more information on Plagiarism and Cheating, refer to Albright Institute's policies.
