Student Instruction Guide continued
The following assessment instructions must be adhered to;
10. Written responses
Written questions require in-depth responses and one line answers may not be sufficient to be deemed satisfactory. There is no specific word count required for any assessment and the size of the answer boxes in the Learner Workbook are not indicative of the required length of your answers.
A general rule of thumb is to use as many words as you need in order to demonstrate your full understanding of the knowledge and/or skill component. This may differ greatly between candidates in line with varying individual language and literacy skills.
11. When conducting online research
You must always provide the website link/s when sourcing information from online sources such as academic journals, industry websites and resource centers.
12. Referencing
Ensure your work is referenced to prevent plagiarism. For more information on plagiarism and referencing, refer to the Student Handbook.
13. File naming protocol
Prior to submission, your Learner Workbook must comply with the file name protocol below.
• The file name must follow this format: your full name_unit code_Workbook
Use the ‘save as’ function to save your workbook and replace ‘your full name’ with your first and last name and the date of submission in the file name.
14. You must not delete or alter any sections or wording in the learner workbook.
Student Instruction Guide continued
Understanding the assessment grading system
Assessments for qualifications are competency based, which means students are assessed against the unit of competency (unit) requirements. Assessment results are recorded as follows:
• Satisfactory (S) result: the student’s submitted work satisfies the learning requirements and all competency standards for the unit (in accordance with the National Register www.training.gov.au).
• Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS) result: the student’s submitted work does not demonstrate their understanding of all competency standards in the unit. If a student receives a ‘not yet satisfactory’ outcome, he or she will receive written feedback from a trainer/assessor, clearly outlining where the gaps are. The student will then be required to rectify these gaps and re-submit their assessment for marking.
Once a student receives a satisfactory result for all required assessment tasks a competent (C) outcome will be awarded for the entire unit. The student must demonstrate their understanding of all competency standards in each unit before receiving a competent outcome.
Important note: Each student has three (3) attempts to achieve a competent outcome. If the student is deemed Not Yet Competent (NYC) on the third attempt, the student may need to re-enrol into the unit as per First Choice Training’s Assessment Policy.
In keeping with a paperless system, the Learner Workbook is assessed with comments and this document will be returned to you as a PDF document. For each re-submission, you will need to update your existing Learner Workbook by deleting the incorrect answers and replacing them with your new responses. Remember to update the Learner Details and Declarations section with the new submission date each time.

The time duration for the video session is approximately 30 minutes. The video evidence is subject to the conditions outlined in Table 1.
Your delivery session will be assessed according to the Observation Checklist (Internal).
If you select OPTION A, you must not complete OPTION B.

Your delivery session will be assessed according to the Third Party Report.
Please note that you are still required to follow the assessment instructions and complete the other remaining parts of this project.

Table 1: Conditions for Acceptable Evidence vs. Unacceptable Evidence (linked to OPTION A)
Acceptable Evidence Unacceptable Evidence
Video footage must clearly show you (the student) and all the participants for the entirety of the session.
Use a video camera or laptop webcam to record the session/s.
Only shows you with possible students behind the scenes.
Video that scans the participants at the start but then is solely focusses on you (the student) for the remainder of the session.
The audio levels must be clear throughout the video recording. Very low or inaudible voices of you (the student) and the participants.
Note: the video file needs to be in a common format to be viewed in Windows Media Player. You may use ‘Dropbox’ to send us your video file or the video file can be saved to a USB or CD and posted to First Choice Training.
Table 2: Conditions for Acceptable Evidence vs. Unacceptable Evidence (linked to OPTION B)
Acceptable Evidence Unacceptable Evidence
A completed Third Party Report with detailed comments, signatures, dates and clarity on how checklist items were addressed throughout the session/s. An incomplete Third Party Report without comments, only ticked, lacking signatures or dates and clarity.
Statements by the observer that clearly identifies a ‘hands on’ approach with comments about the type of activities and interactions carried out during the meeting to encourage skill based learning as well as knowledge. That shows ticks and does not clarify how items were addressed within the training session/s.
That shows no evidence of skill based knowledge.
Note: The observer cannot be a student in the session at the time they are acting as the observer. The observer must sit back and complete the Third Party Report as they are observing the meeting.
The Third Party Report cannot be completed by an individual that was not attending the session on the day as the observer.
Note: The observer must be able to produce a JP certified copy of their business certificate which must be at a Diploma level or higher. You must submit this document with your assessment submission.
