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:
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 learner’s 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:
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 notbe 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.
Reassessment
Students who receive a ‘NS’ for this assessment task may re-submit the assessment twice at free of
charge. If the student still does not pass or obtain satisfactory result in the first re-sit, the student
must re-sit/resubmit the assessment. If the student still does not pass or obtain ‘Competent’ for the
Unit of Competency, he/she must enrol in the entire unit and pay a repeat unit fee of $300 per unit.
A maximum of 3 attempts for assessments are allowed, each ‘Not Satisfactory’ attempt will be
reviewed by the Assessor and areas to focus on for further study will be recommended. If after the
3rd attempt the student still cannot complete the assessment task satisfactorily, the student will
be required to repeat the unit and bear the re-enrolment costs and the course duration may be
affected.
Reasonable Adjustment
To meet the needs of all learners’, adjustments can be made to the way assessments are conducted
but not to the requirements of the assessment. The purpose of these adjustments is to enhance
fairness and flexibility so that the specific needs of students can be met. For details assessor needs
to refer P03_ Assessment Policy and Guidelines and P01_Access & Equity Policy.
“In the case that the tool may need adapting to meet specific needs of students, your trainer may
provide extra support, allow extra time and/or provide the student with picture cues to aid with
assessment.”
Reasonable Adjustment

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 Training Manager, in writing, outlining the reason(s) for the appeal.
For more detail please refer to P31_Complaints and Appeal Policy (http://cmi.vic.edu.au/wp-
content/uploads/pdf/policy/Complaint-and-Appeal-Policy.pdf)
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
Questioning
Trainers
Team members
Clients
Consumers.
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.
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.
Observation/Demonstration
Throughout this unit, you will be expected to show your competency of the elements through
observations or demonstrations. Your trainer/assessor will have a list of demonstrations you must
complete or tasks to be observed. The observations and demonstrations will be completed as well as
the activities found in this workbook.
Observation is on-the-job
Demonstration is off-the-job
A demonstrationwill require:
Your trainer/assessor will inform you of which one of the above they would like you to do. The
observation/demonstration will cover one of the unit’s elements.
The observation/demonstration will take place either in the workplace or the training environment,
depending on the task to be undertaken and whether it is an observation or demonstration. Your
trainer/assessor will ensure you are provided with the correct equipment and/or materials to
complete the task. They will also inform you of how long you have to complete the task.
When you are seeking approval to expend resources you should justify
the reasons for needing the resources
a) Assigning duties
b) Defining, clarifying and assigning tasks and duties
c) Granting authority
d) if delegating authority to someone, you should ensure that they are
capable
e) Creating Responsibility and Accountability
f) Authority will come with the relevant Responsibility and
Accountability.
A work breakdown structure (WBS) organises your project into smaller, more
manageable sections.
It should represent a flowchart in which all elements are logically connected.
The scope and boundaries will be defined into chunks that the project team can
understand.
A work breakdown structure may include:
a. Activity and task descriptors
b. High-level deliverables framework
c. Multi-level task granulation
d. Work breakdown task dictionary.
2. Explain three ways you can account for boundaries being negotiated
within a project.
The three ways you can account for boundaries being negotiated within a project.
1. Constraints/Exclusions
These outline any limitations on the project, particularly in relation to
what is not included within the scope of the project
2. Product/service specifications
These set out exactly what product/service is expected, including
required characteristics and specific processes, in order to meet the
needs of stakeholders
3. Project deliverables
Project boundaries:
o Boundaries ensure that the scope of the project is clearly defined in
detail.
o They should be measurable
o Boundaries may include:
The statement of work should clearly define the boundaries relating to:
Budgets
Necessary resources
Exact deliverables.
Project benefits
Project outcomes
You need to transform your objectives into your deliverables and your
outcomes
Are the tangible results of your project
Project outputs.
2. Using your example project, outline your benefits, outcomes and outputs.
Describe how you will measure each of these.
Any project is regarded as successful if its benefits are derived upon completion.
The best management practices prove that success of projects can be measured
in terms of their ability to deliver benefits. In this context, obviously it is
important to recognize and classify benefits derived from the project. Clear and
exact classification of project benefits will help more efficiently monitor the
project and better understand the impact of delays, changes to scope, and
lowered performance to project results.

Informal discussions.
For scope management plan you will need to work through five processes.
Defining the scope : Project scope is the part of project planning that
involves determining and documenting a list of specific project goals,
deliverables, features, functions, tasks, deadlines, and ultimately costs. In
other words, it is what needs to be achieved and the work that must be
done to deliver a project
producing a WBS
Manage impact of scope changes within established time, cost and quality
constraints according to change control procedures. Project Scope is the work
that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product, service, or result with the
specified features and functions. Scope refers to the detailed set of
deliverables or elements of a project; these deliverables are derived from a
project's requirements.
Planning: The process of getting an overview and defining the work that
needs to be done to achieve the deliverables for the project.
Control Scope is the last process group of project Scope Management. The
Control Scope process involves monitoring the status of the project and
managing changes to the scope. This process involves assessing additional
requirements from the customer or proactively overlooking the project scope
Scope management may include:
2. Using your example project, outline the time, cost and quality constraints
you may face.
Time constraints:
In many cases, there is just not enough time to complete the project.
Cost constraints:
Scope changes generally mean extra work, which means added costs.
It can sometimes mean that any money spent on tasks that have already
been started, or even completed, will be completely wasted.
3. If scope change impacted your time, cost and quality constraints, explain
how you would manage its impact on your deadline, budget and quality
requirements using relevant change control procedures.
Sometimes Projects often fail because they are not properly managed Within
scope management, many problems can occur
o Poor Communication
o Scope Creep
o Incomplete Scope
o Ambiguous scope.
There are some possible management issues that recommends improvements for
future projects
o Making sure you know what the project team needs to do and how they
should do it.
o Outlining what actions should be taken when your project goes off track
