Assessment Information
You must achieve a satisfactory outcome for each of the required criteria of this assessment to be
deemed satisfactory for this assessment. You must achieve a satisfactory result for the assessments
for this unit of competency to achieve a competent result for the unit. If one or more of the
assessment results are not satisfactory, you will be
Not Yet Competent for this unit.

You may follow the Assessment Appeals process in the Student Handbook (www.academia21.com)
if you are not satisfied with:

o the assessment result; or
o the way an assessment was carried out by your trainer; or
o the conditions or structure of the assessment
The student handbook has the steps for reassessment if you receive a
Not Yet Competent mark and do
not want to appeal.
Reasonable adjustment for assessment
Where students have highlighted Language, Literacy and Numeracy issues reasonable adjustment to the
assessment can be made. Should you receive a ‘Not Yet Competent’ or ‘Resubmit’ result for the
assessment you will be given the opportunity to re-submit your assessment work with any amendments
requested by your trainer.
The adjustment may include actions such as:
• Student demonstrating knowledge through verbal discussion to identify correct answers
• Student demonstrating knowledge through applied skills
• Allowing additional time relating to disability
• Through consultation amending assessment timeframes
• Assistance in the form of the training location to allow easier access
• Accessing relevant equipment or aids to assist the student
• Adjustments to the assessment methods to cater for any special needs (without effecting the integrity
of the outcome)
If a student requests or is identified as requiring reasonable adjustment to the training and assessment
process a detailed training and assessment plan including timetables, notes regarding the required
adjustments, and any related communications regarding the adjustments must be maintained in the
student’s file.
The RTO Manager must review and authorise any request for ‘reasonable adjustment’ to ensure that any
adjustments and resulting outcomes are not affecting the integrity of the training and assessment
process.
Location of and completion timeframes for assessment
The location of the assessment will depend upon the nature of the assessment. Direct observation of
student’s skills will be assessed in the practical commercial kitchens / simulated restaurant at Academia,
the timeframes for these assessments will be related to the scheduled times of the practical classes.
Other assessments such as role plays, in class activities, presentations and written tests will be
conducting in the classroom. The timeframes and due dates for these assessments, as well as any
reports, projects or research assignments, are documented in the stage outlines. Stage outlines are
handed out at the beginning of each term.
