Principles of Assessment

Based on Clauses 1.8 – 1.12 from the Australian Standards Quality Assurance’s (ASQA) Standards for Registered Training
Organizations (RTO) 2015, the learner would be assessed based on the following principles:

Fairness - (1) the individual learner’s needs are considered in the assessment process, (2) where appropriate, reasonable
adjustments are applied by the RTO to take into account the individual leaner’s needs and, (3) the RTO informs
the leaner about the assessment process, and provides the learner with the opportunity to challenge the result
of the assessment and be reassessed if necessary.

Flexibility – assessment is flexible to the individual learner by; (1) reflecting the learner’s needs, (2) assessing competencies
V2020.T1. 1.0
BSB50215 Diploma of Business/ BSBMKG501/ 2020/ T1/ Assessment Tool Task 1 & 2 Page 1 of 23
held by the learner no matter how or where they have been acquired and, (3) the unit of competency and
associated assessment requirements, and the individual.

Validity – (1) requires that assessment against the unit/s of competency and the associated assessment requirements
covers the broad range of skills and knowledge, (2) assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their
practical application, (3) assessment to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a learner could
demonstrate these skills and knowledge in other similar situations and, (4) judgement of competence is based
on evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and associated assessment
requirements.

Reliability – evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are comparable
irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment

Rules of Evidence

Validity – the assessor is assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes, as described in the module
of unit of competency and associated assessment requirements.

Sufficiency – the assessor is assured that the quality, quantity and relevance of the assessment evidence enables a
judgement to be made of a learner’s competency.

Authenticity – the assessor is assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work. This would
mean that any form of plagiarism or copying of other’s work may not be permitted and would be deemed

assessment evidence to be from the present or the very recent past.
