The candidate’s skills and knowledge will be assessed and validated, and where appropriate, units of competency will be awarded, and the duration of the training may be reduced.

The recognition of prior learning process will be made available to students at the time of enrolment. If you can demonstrate competency through the provision of sufficient, current, valid and authentic evidence of work experience, life skills, and study or via other evidence, then you may be granted RPL for that unit of competency.

All assessment is competency based. Students are required to complete written and practical tasks, which reflect the requirements of the units of competency and current workplace practices. Assessment is continuous throughout the duration of the course.

Completed and submitted work will be assessed within ten (10) working days and feedback provided to the student as soon as possible thereafter. Where the student’s work is assessed to be not yet satisfactory he / she will be provided with additional advice, coaching or tutoring and the opportunity to re-submit the work with a view to having it assessed as satisfactory.

Feedback and information regarding the student’s competency, progress and study will be provided by the facilitator on a regular and ongoing basis. Ongoing support is also available to all learners and will be provided as soon as a need is identified.

To maximise the chance of students successfully completing their training, Accurate Training Solutions will identify any support individual students need prior to their enrolment and provide access to that support throughout their training. This will be done using the Application for Enrolment Form, which students are required to fill in.

Where a student identifies the need for LLN support, they will be required to complete a Pre Enrolment Assessment to assist in determining the student’s support needs.

• Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) support;
• Assistive Technology

Where Accurate Training Solutions identifies required support, such as literacy or numeracy, English or other language barriers or physical capabilities, and it cannot provide such support directly, it will refer the student to a third party.
