1. Student will be assessed as being competent only upon satisfactory completion of all the assessments in a unit.
2. If a student is not able to demonstrate satisfactory completion of all of the required assessments of the unit, the result for that unit
will be recorded as Not Yet Competent.
3. If a student has successfully completed more than 50%* of the assessment tasks for a unit, they will be provided with specific
feedback and invited to re-submit their assessment.
4. If a student has not successfully completed more than 50%* of the assessment tasks for a unit, they will be required to undertake
the unit again.
5. In the case of re-submission, the following actions shall occur:
• The student must apply for resubmission within one week of the result is made available to him/her. This means that the
student is responsible to acknowledge that he/she has received the result and has been deemed NYC for the units of
competency undertaken.
• Reassessment may need to be arranged during the forthcoming term break in order to minimize disruption &/or avoid extra
pressure on the student’s normal study load except in the case where GEN Institute has implemented an intervention strategy
for a student under its Course Progress Policy.
6. If a student is assessed as “Not Yet Competent’ after the resubmission, he or she will be identified as a student-at-risk and an
Academic Performance Improvement (API) Plan will be created during an Intervention Strategy Meeting between the Gen Institute
Operations Manager, Trainer & Assessor and student. The date for a third assessment will be nominated by the student in
consultation with Trainer & Assessor, but should be no longer than 1 month from the previous re-submission date.
7. One re-submission is allowable per unit per student free of cost. Additional re-submissions will be charged at $200.
If the student remains ‘Not Yet Competent’ after a third re-submission, he or she will be notified that this result is final and he or she will be
unable to successfully complete the course in which they are enrolled at this point.
To ensure equity and fairness of assessment for all students, re-submission activities may vary from those originally set by the
trainer/assessor.
* Due to the variance in the amount of work completed for each assessment task in a unit, 50% will be determined by the amount of evidence
submitted as opposed to the number of assessment tasks submitted. This determination will be made by the Trainer & Assessor and approved
by the Operations Manager.
Assessment appeals
• Where a student wishes to appeal an assessment they are required to notify their assessor in the first instance. Where appropriate the
assessor may decide to re-assess the student to ensure a fair and equitable decision is gained. The assessor shall complete a written
report regarding the re-assessment outlining the reasons why assessment was or was not granted.
• If this is still not to the student’s satisfaction the student shall formally lodge an appeal by submitting a written letter within one week of
receiving the results using the form 8.1 for Complaints and appeals outlining the reasons for the appeal. They shall lodge this with
student administrations department and the appeal shall be entered into the ‘complaints and appeals register’.
• The Operations Manager shall be notified and shall seek details from the assessor involved and any other relevant parties. A decision
shall be made regarding the appeal either indicating the assessment decision stands or details of a possible re-assessment by another
assessor appointed by Gen.
• The student shall be notified in writing of the outcome with reasons for the decision. The student shall also be provided the option of
activating the external appeals process if they are not satisfied with the outcome. The student is required to notify Gen if they wish to
proceed with the external appeals process.
Reasonable adjustments
Gen Institute 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;, 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

office to monitor job progress but is not used to complete productivity reporting. When this device was
introduced, drivers were not happy, as they felt the organisation was saying that it did not trust the
drivers to manually record the time spent on each job. Many of the drivers also resented having to learn
how to use the device and thought it was a waste of time.
Head office employees work very closely together and are a very cohesive and motivated team. They
are positive about the organisation’s direction and respond well to change.
Drivers have historically reacted negatively to change. Change implemented in the past has met with
resistance and was therefore difficult to implement. Drivers have in the past done their best to block any
changes from being implemented, even going to the lengths of threatening strike action and having the
union involved to assist with resolving the issue.
Fast Track Couriers currently allocates two drivers per truck to ensure that drivers are able to load and
unload heavy packages. The strategy going forward is to remove the need for having two drivers per
truck by installing an automatic lift gate on the back of each gate at a cost of $10,000 per truck. This will
mean that only one driver is needed per truck as no heavy lifting will be required.
It is Fast Track Couriers’ intention to use these surplus drivers to drive the new trucks that will be
purchased to enable the company to extend its services to regional NSW.
Drivers are currently happy with the work environment, as they enjoy working as part of a two-man
team. The organisation typically leaves the drivers alone and lets them do their job as this is what
seems to make them happy. Management has tried in the past to have drivers participate in
organisational activities. These activities were not received positively and the drivers complained and
asked not to be involved. The drivers’ view is that their preferred team is their two-man driver team and
they only see the benefits of that specific working arrangement. There is a high value placed on
communication with trucking team members.
This is an open book written assessment. In the time allocated, you are to answer all of the following
questions. Make sure you:
• Write Clearly
• Answer all questions
• Use a pen. Assessments written in pencil will not be accepted.
• Ask your assessor if you do not understand a question. Whist your assessor cannot tell you the
answer, he/she may be able to re-word the question for you
• Do not talk to your classmates. If you are caught talking, you will be asked to leave and your
assessment will not be marked.
• Do not cheat. Anyone caught cheating will automatically be marked Not Yet Competent for this
unit. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule.
