 Any student who fails a compulsory subject or appeals unsuccessfully will be required to re-enrol in that
subject.
The cost of reassessment will be borne by the Institute. The external assessor will base his/her judgement based

 If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of the re-evaluation process, you have a right to appeal through
academic appeals handling protocol.
 To appeal a decision, the person is required to complete the TasCollege- Request for Appeal of a Decision

Reasonable adjustments

TasCollege enables reasonable adjustments to be made to assessment procedures for students with special needs,
such as people with disabilities or with language or literacy difficulties. Assessing knowledge is usually assessed
through written or oral, short‑answer tests where assessors seek to determine the extent of the student’s
knowledge. However, you may need to do the following for a student with disability:

• Ask questions orally instead of in a written format


• Provide equipment such as text enlargers, image enhancers, and voice recorders.
• Give the student more time to complete the assessment;

TAS-AT-V3-06092018 © International College of Tasmania P a g e 7 | 55


Assessment Resource | BSBHRM506

• Allocate a different time for completion of the assessment;


• Offer a separate, quiet room.
• Modifying or providing equipment
• Adapting delivery strategies
• Ensuring that course activities are sufficiently flexible
• Providing additional support to student where necessary
• Customizing resources and activities within the training package or accredited course
• Monitoring the adjustments to ensure student needs continue to be met

ACSF Specifications and Foundation Skills


The term ‘Foundation Skills’ is currently used to include the core skills defined in the Australian Core
Skills Framework (ACSF) as well as the employability skills identified by employers as critical for
effective performance in the workplace. The core skills of the ACSF include reading, writing, oral
communication, numeracy and learning.

Foundation skills encompass the core skills of reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy and
learning as described by the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF), and the Employability Skills/Core
Skills for Work. They exist on a continuum from very basic skills to highly-developed and specialist
skills. The foundation skills have been addressed in this assessment.

Assessment Process

To demonstrate competence in this unit, you must undertake all tasks in this assessment booklet and
complete them satisfactorily and in addition, also satisfactorily complete the practical assessment,
including demonstrating communication skills during the practical activities. If you do not answer
some questions or perform some tasks satisfactorily and therefore are deemed to be ‘Not Competent’,
you may be asked supplementary questions or given alternative activities to determine competence,
which will be documented in your student file. After you have demonstrated consistency in
performance you will be awarded this unit.

As part of the assessment process, you must abide by any relevant assessment policies as provided to
you. If you feel you are not yet ready to be assessed or this assessment is unfair, please discuss with
your assessor all options that are available to you to enable you to complete the assessment.

Submitting Assessments

You should submit assessment tasks with the provided cover sheet.

Assessments should be submitted 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 must be confirmed by
the Trainer/Assessor in writing.

Plagiarism and Referencing

All students are reminded that plagiarism will not be tolerated. Information, ideas etc. quoted or
paraphrased from another source, must be acknowledged with “quotation marks” around the
relevant words/sentences or ideas and cited at the end of the document. Sources of information, ideas
etc. must be provided in alphabetical order by author’s surname (including author’s full name, name
of document/ book/internet etc. and year and place of publishing) or may be included in brackets in
the text.

Assessment Resource | BSBHRM506

Assessment Outcomes
There are two (2) outcomes of assessments: Satisfactory and Not Yet Satisfactory (requires more
training and experience).

You will be awarded a ‘Competent’ grade on completion of the unit when the trainer/assessor is
satisfied that you have completed all assessments and have provided the appropriate evidence
required to meet all criteria. If you fail to meet this requirement you will receive the result of Not
Competent and will be eligible to be re-assessed.

Re-assessment

Students will be allowed two (2) further attempts at an assessment for which the outcome is Not
Satisfactory, within the timeframe of a course (unit of competency) and in this time they can request
a coaching session as required. No additional fees will be charged.

Students who require re-assessment beyond the delivery timeframe of a unit or due date of an
assessment, unless it is due to medical reasons, will be given the opportunity to request additional
time to resubmit and in this time, they can also request a coaching session as required. After that
students may be charged a re-assessment fee.

Reasonable Adjustment

RTOs and trainer/assessors are obliged by law to make reasonable adjustment to ensure maximum
participation of students with disability in teaching, learning and assessment activities. This includes:

 ensuring that course activities are sufficiently flexible;


 providing additional support where necessary; and
 offering a reasonable substitute within the context of the course where a student cannot
participate
Reasonable adjustment is defined in section 4 (1) of the Employment and the Disability Discrimination
Act as ‘an adjustment to be made by a person is a reasonable adjustment unless making the
adjustment would impose an unjustifiable hardship on the person’.

Reasonable adjustment as it applies to participation in learning and assessment activities may include:

 customising resources or activities within a training package or accredited course;


 modifying a presentation medium;
 providing additional support;
 providing assistive or adaptive technologies;
 making additional information accessible both before enrolment and during the course; and
 monitoring these adjustments to ensure that the student’s needs continue to be met

An individual’s access to the assessment process should not be adversely affected by restrictions
placed on the location or context of assessment beyond the requirements specified in the training
package. Reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure equity in assessment for people with
disabilities. Adjustments include any changes to the assessment process or context that meet the
individual needs of the person with a disability, but do not change competency outcomes.

When assessing people with disabilities, trainer/assessors are encouraged to apply good practice
assessment methods with sensitivity and flexibility.

The assessment process must:

 Provide for valid, reliable, flexible and fair assessment


 Provide for judgement to be made on the basis of sufficient evidence
 Offer valid, authentic and current evidence

Access and Equity

Please speak to your trainer/assessor if you require assistance with any access and equity concerns
you may have.

Recognition of Prior Learning

If you can demonstrate that you have the skills and knowledge within this unit, you should speak to
your trainer/assessor about this and apply for recognition of prior learning.

Assessments

There are two (5) forms of assessment or evidence gathering methods for this unit of competency.
Students are required to complete them all. Your assessor will advise when assessments are due.

Students may use various sources of information including: text books, learning workbooks, other
documents and the internet and they must list the sources of the information.
