Instructions to Learner
Assessment instructions
Overview
Prior to commencing the assessments, your trainer/assessor will explain each assessment task and the terms and conditions relating to the submission of your assessment task. Please consult with your trainer/assessor if you are unsure of any questions. It is important that you understand and adhere to the terms and conditions, and address fully each assessment task. If any assessment task is not fully addressed, then your assessment task will be returned to you for resubmission. Your trainer/assessor will remain available to support you throughout the assessment process.
Written work
Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding and underpinning skills and knowledge of the overall unit of competency. When undertaking any written assessment tasks, please ensure that you address the following criteria:
- Address each question including any sub-points
- Demonstrate that you have researched the topic thoroughly
- Cover the topic in a logical, structured manner
- Your assessment tasks are well presented, well referenced and word processed
- Your assessment tasks include your full legal name on each and every page.
Active participation
It is a condition of enrolment that you actively participate in your studies. Active participation is completing all the assessment tasks on time.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in a learners exclusion from a course. When you have any doubts about including the work of other authors in your assessment, please consult your trainer/assessor. The following list outlines some of the activities for which a learner can be accused of plagiarism:
- Presenting any work by another individual as one's own unintentionally
- Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another learner
- Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work
- Handing in assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used, including assessments taken totally or in part from the internet.
If it is identified that you have plagiarised within your assessment, then a meeting will be organised to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.
Collusion
Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assignment as their own that is, in fact, the result in whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or persons. Collusion involves the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct and, as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary action. Collusion or copying from other learners is not permitted and will result in a 0 grade and NYC.
Assessments must be typed using document software such as (or similar to) MS Office. Handwritten assessments will not be accepted (unless, prior written confirmation is provided by the trainer/assessor to confirm).
Competency outcome
There are two outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory (requires more training and experience).
Once the learner has satisfactorily completed all the tasks for this module the learner will be awarded Competent (C) or Not yet Competent (NYC) for the relevant unit of competency.
If you are deemed Not Yet Competent you will be provided with feedback from your assessor and will be given another chance to resubmit your assessment task(s). If you are still deemed as Not Yet Competent you will be required to re-enrol in the unit of competency.
Additional evidence
If we, at our sole discretion, determine that we require additional or alternative information/evidence in order to determine competency, you must provide us with such information/evidence, subject to privacy and confidentiality issues. We retain this right at any time, including after submission of your assessments.
Confidentiality
We will treat anything, including information about your job, workplace, employer, with strict confidence, in accordance with the law. However, you are responsible for ensuring that you do not provide us with anything regarding any third party including your employer, colleagues and others, that they do not consent to the disclosure of. While we may ask you to provide information or details about aspects of your employer and workplace, you are responsible for obtaining necessary consents and ensuring that privacy rights and confidentiality obligations are not breached by you in supplying us with such information.
Assessment appeals process
If you feel that you have been unfairly treated during your assessment, and you are not happy with your assessment and/or the outcome as a result of that treatment, you have the right to lodge an appeal. You must first discuss the issue with your trainer/assessor. If you would like to proceed further with the request after discussions with your trainer/assessor, you need to lodge your appeal to the course coordinator, in writing, outlining the reason(s) for the appeal.
Recognised prior learning
Candidates will be able to have their previous experience or expertise recognised on request.
Special needs
Candidates with special needs should notify their trainer/assessor to request any required adjustments as soon as possible. This will enable the trainer/assessor to address the identified needs immediately.
Assessment requirements
Assessment can either be:
- Direct observation
- Product-based methods e.g. reports, role plays, work samples
- Portfolios annotated and validated
- Questioning
- Third party evidence.
If submitting third party evidence, the Third Party Observation/Demonstration document must be completed by the agreed third party.
Third parties can be:
- Supervisors
- Trainers
- Team members
- Clients
The third party observation must be submitted to your trainer/assessor, as directed.
The third party observation is to be used by the assessor to assist them in determining competency.
The assessment activities in this workbook assess aspects of all the elements, performance criteria, skills and knowledge and performance requirements of the unit of competency.
To demonstrate competence in this unit you must undertake all activities in this workbook and have them deemed satisfactory by the assessor. If you do not answer some questions or perform certain tasks, and therefore you are deemed to be Not Yet Competent, your trainer/assessor may ask you supplementary questions to determine your competence. Once you have demonstrated the required level of performance, you will be deemed competent in this unit.
Should you still be deemed Not Yet Competent, you will have the opportunity to resubmit your assessments or appeal the result.
As part of the assessment process, all learners must abide by any relevant assessment policies as provided during induction.
If you feel you are not yet ready to be assessed or that this assessment is unfair, please contact your assessor to discuss your options. You have the right to formally appeal any outcome and, if you wish to do so, discuss this with your trainer/assessor.

ASSESSMENT TASK 3: PROJECT WORK
Instructions for students
In this task, you are required to conduct a review and evaluation of the organisational learning strategy and implement some changes.
You will need access to:
- Assessment and Recognition Policy and Procedures Template
- Learning Strategy Review Template
- Staff Survey Results 2019
- Staff Survey Results 2020
- Staff Learning Spreadsheet.
3.1 Carefully read the following scenario to answer all the activities:
It is just over a year since AYMA SERVICES adopted your Organisational Learning Strategy and the three new policies that you developed. Since then, further recommendations were implemented and the following policies and procedures were updated based on your research and planning: -Recruitment, Selection and Induction Policy and Procedures -Performance Appraisal Policy and Procedures. Due to the global pandemic of COVID19, the decision was made to not proceed with the external training on emotional intelligence and to run online in-house training sessions to keep employees protected and to save company funds during the financial recession that the country faced. Other courses still went ahead that had been planned for but these were all run online. All employees were set up with Microsoft teams accounts where live webinars were run and recorded for later viewing. The training sessions were interactive and Microsoft teams functioned smoothly. As part of the ongoing assessment of the organisations learning management systems, Human Resources has started adding all the learning opportunities that the staff have undertaken over the year to their staff records. They have put these in a spreadsheet for easier evaluation. Additionally, all staff are given an annual questionnaire to help assess whether organisational learning targets are being met. You are required to use these documents to assess the success of the organisational learning strategies that you have implemented. Also, the CEO has asked you to review information on grants for skill development as they would like to capitalise on any opportunities for employers to access funding for learning and development. Determine how this could be integrated into the companys Organisational Learning Strategy. |
3.2 Review the organisational learning strategy implementation
Read through the following company documents:
- Staff Survey Results 2019
- Staff Survey Results 2020
- Staff Learning Spreadsheet
Your review should include evaluations of the following:
- The end-to-end implementation of the organisational learning strategy
- The performance of resources and people supporting organisational learning strategy implementation
- How well learning strategies and learning resources achieve organisational learning targets.
- Whether the intended strategic outcomes have been achieved through the organisational learning strategy.
You should also determine:
- The changes that could be made to at least two of the companys policies and procedures
- Your plans for improving the companys Organisational Learning Strategy
Use the Learning Strategy Review Template to guide your work.
3.3 Implement changes based on your review
Make the changes to the policies and procedures as outlined in your learning strategy review and in the previous activity step and make changes to the strategy document also.
Save this version of the document as Updated Organisational Learning Strategy and any policy changes with the name Updated and highlight your changes so your trainer can review the information easily.
3.4 Present/submit your review findings and changes to the CEO (Trainer/assessor play a role as a CEO of AYMA SERVICES)
You should present your work to the CEO along with an explanation of the changes you have made and why ask them for their feedback.
You are required to submit the following documents to the Moodle:
- Learning Strategy Review
- Updated Policy and Procedures
- Updated Organisational Learning Strategy
