Even though parts of the title sound the same as units that you have previously completed, there is significant difference in the knowledge and skills components of the units. What this means, is there will be assessment items you will need to undertake to close any gaps identified during the mapping process in order for you to meet the outcomes for the new Diploma of Nursing.
Seek help and advice from your Educator on any part of any assessment that you need assistant with.
Assessment process
Your Assessor must discuss their feedback with you and ask you to sign the assessment summary acknowledging agreement with the result. If you have been found Not Yet Competent, the assessor will provide you with feedback explaining why this decision has been made and what you are required to do before being re-assessed. If you disagree with the assessor’s judgement, the assessor must explain the appeal process and provide you with any relevant documentation. The assessor will find a mutually convenient time to discuss any questions or concerns you have regarding your ability to complete the assessments. The assessor will also consider whether any additional support services should be provided to support you. If the assessor deems that you do not have the skills or knowledge to complete the unit, they will discuss this with The RTO Operations Manager.
• You are entitled to two assessment attempts at no additional cost.
• Each re-assessment attempt will be negotiated with the Assessor and should be programmed to enable you to have the best chance for success.
• Your Trainer/Assessor will provide you with direction on the further learning required for your next assessment attempt, this may involve additional theory or classroom learning.
• Your Assessor may apply reasonable adjustment to the subsequent assessment attempts, where required.
• At the end of your second unsuccessful assessment attempt, a formal counselling session will occur to discuss your options and enrolment at CTA.
• Post this process, you may re-enrol, and the learning and assessment process will commence from the beginning of the unit
Process for submitting assessments
Your Training Plan and Class Delivery schedule specifically outlines the due dates of each of your assessments. You must adhere to this timetable. If you need extra time to complete an assessment you must discuss this with your Nurse Educator before the due date. Extensions to assessments can be granted in agreement with you, your Nurse Educator and where applicable the RTO General Manager. The following requirements apply to all written assessments:
• All questions must be answered in full and using your own words.
• Hand written assessments must be legible and in either BLUE or BLACK pen.
• Assessments can be word processed. You must use:
? Arial font
? Size 12

• If submitting extra information, diagrams, posters, flyers or handouts make sure your name and number, date and the unit code is clearly identified on each piece of extra information.
• Where applicable reference any work that is not your own using the style described in the student handbook.

Outcomes:
Once you have a “Satisfactory Outcome” for all assessments linked to each unit of competency you will be deemed competent for the unit of competency.
If you have a “Not Satisfactory Outcome” your Assessor will provide feedback to you on the area/s for improvement and confirm further requirements. At this time a mutually agreed future date for re-assessment will be set.
Listed below are explanations of the assessment decisions an Assessor can make when marking your assessments.
Satisfactory
Outcome The Assessor has assessed your submission against the criteria of the Assessment and is satisfied that all requirements have been met.
Not Satisfactory Outcome The Assessor has assessed your submission against the criteria of the Assessment and is not satisfied that all requirements have been met.
All CTA Assessors follow the Principles of Assessment when assessing your work. What this means to you is that they will always treat every assessment submission objectively (fairly) and without bias, they can make alternative assessment arrangements if need be (flexible), they will only assess what you have submitted (valid), and will use the assessment criteria in the Assessor Marking guide when making their decision (reliable).
Assessors also follow the Rules of Evidence when making the assessment decision. What that means to you is they will make sure the evidence you have submitted is relevant to the assessment (valid), that the evidence you have given covers all of the questions asked (sufficient), that the assessment is your own work (authentic), and that the evidence is recent or from the very recent past (current).
Reasonable Adjustment
To meet the Principles of Assessment, Assessors may make a reasonable adjustment to the assessment. In some cases this may mean that verbal questions may be asked instead of written questions if a student has a literacy difference which would make it difficult for them to complete the assessment under normal circumstances. If you are struggling with the assessment processes outlined in this workbook, then it is highly recommended that you discuss this with your Trainer/Assessor as soon as practicable, however it should be before you attempt any assessment.
