1.7 Prerequisite Requirements

For courses that have prerequisite skills and knowledge requirements, documentary evidence that the necessary prerequisites have been met is requested prior to the student commencing the course. The evidence must be provided before we can issue a qualification or statement of attainment to a student. For further information about prerequisite requirements of our courses, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

1.8 Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Under mutual recognition arrangements, we are able to recognise all AQF qualifications and statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) from across Australia. Accordingly, in some circumstances, students may be able to gain credit for part of their training course based on the qualifications and/or statements of attainment that they already hold.

If a student does not have a relevant qualification, but feels that they may already possess the skills and knowledge that are defined by a particular unit of competency, they may seek to have these skills and

knowledge recognised through a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process. Provided that sufficient evidence can be shown to support the skills and knowledge being claimed, the unit of competency can be recognised and awarded with no further training being required.

1.9 Student Conduct

We expect that students will comply with all reasonable directions given by our trainers and reserve the right to refuse any student from continuing a course at any stage. We also expect that each student will respect the rights and property of other students and take good care of all equipment and facilities that are used during training.

We will initially undertake private counselling of any student who is disruptive, who displays a reluctance to participate in training, or who attempts to enjoin others in disruptive behaviour. If following such counselling, disruptive or obstructive behaviour continues, the student(s) will be warned and, in the case of training being

(6)

6

provided to a company group, the formal point of contact for the company will be advised. If after this

warning such behaviour continues, the student(s) will be asked to leave the course.

Any person who attends a course under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or who displays abusive or threatening behaviour towards a trainer or another student will be asked to leave the program immediately. Students asked to leave the course under these provisions will not complete the course and be deemed ineligible for a refund of the course fee.

Students are not to bring drugs or alcohol onto Competency Training premises.

1.10 Student Fees

Our course fees are fully inclusive of all training and assessment activities, printed course notes, and catering. The qualifications that we award to students are also inclusive of our course fee. Within reason, we will also provide replacement testamurs, free of charge, upon request.

Each student is responsible for their own transport and accommodation costs that may be incurred as part of their participation in our training course.

1.11 Payments, Cancellations and Refunds

We request payment of the full course fee at the time of registration or at least 4 weeks prior to the

commencement of training. The amount due will be shown on the course registration form that we send out following an initial booking enquiry.

Please contact us for a detailed document on our terms and conditions.

Should a client cancel an enrolment in one of our courses, we apply a sliding scale of refunds depending upon the amount of notice given by the client. We do not apply an administrative charge to any enrolment

cancellations.

Cancellation Notice Refund

More than 1 week before the course commences 100% refund

Less than 1 week before the course commences We will provide 100% refund if we are able to fill your place with another student, otherwise no refund is payable.

If we cancel a course due to insufficient enrolments or for any other reason, a full refund will be issued. We also offer a money-back guarantee that we will complete all courses once they have commenced and we maintain sufficient financial reserves to ensure that we are able to honour this commitment.

1.12 Language, Literacy and Numeracy Skills

All students have the option to be assessed in order to ascertain if their literacy and numeracy skills are sufficient to successfully undertake the training program. This is usually via interview or completion of an exercise contained in the proposed training program. Those who require further assessment will be referred to a qualified expert. Any costs incurred will be the responsibility of the student.

1.13 Access and Equity

Competency Training Pty Ltd is committed to providing equal opportunity and access to all persons wishing to participate in our courses.

We recognise that an individual’s access to training and assessment should not be adversely affected by restrictions placed on the location or context of assessment beyond the requirements specified in the Training Package. We will endeavour to make reasonable adjustments to ensure equity in assessment for people with

(7)

7

disabilities. Adjustments include any changes to the assessment process or context that meets the individual needs of the person with a disability, but do not change competency outcomes. When assessing people with disabilities, we will apply good practice assessment methods with sensitivity and flexibility.

Access and equity issues are also considered during the development of our courses and in the structure of our training delivery and assessment. Should you have any special needs that warrant a flexible learning and assessment approach, please contact us before commencing your training.

1.14 Unique Student Identifier (USI)

From January 2015, Competency Training will comply with Australian Government requirements and will be collecting USI’s from each individual enrolling into nationally recognised training. USI’s will need to be verified before any Statement of Attainments can be issued.

1.15 Resolving Complaints

We aim to resolve any student complaints or appeals in a fair and equitable manner and in accordance with the principles of natural justice.

In the event that you have a complaint about the training you have received, the conduct of a staff member, or any concerns regarding a decision that we make in relation to you, we have adopted a three-step

complaint resolution process to ensure that your concerns are dealt with in a timely and appropriate manner. In the first instance, we encourage students to raise their complaint as promptly as possible with the

appropriate staff member so that we might respond immediately and address matters as quickly as possible. Our complaint resolution process also includes additional steps which you may take if your concerns are not resolved at this initial point.

For further information, please contact us to view our Complaints and Appeals policy.

1.16 Assessment

Most of our training courses are competency-based. This means that students are required to demonstrate that they have achieved the mandated level of skills and knowledge which are assessed through a range of different assessment tasks. Assessment is progressive throughout the course and will include observation of student progress, involvement in class activities, case studies, written tests, class exercises and similar. Students may be assessed by one or more of the following methods:

 Practical Exercise – an opportunity to display problem solving and decision making skills is provided in a simulated context.

 Observation – the completion of a specified task or set of procedures, normally performed under close supervision, using a detailed checklist.

 Class Work, Oral Questioning – a response is provided to a series of questions presented in order to demonstrate understanding of principles or reasoning behind the action taken.

 Written Questionnaire – a written response item consisting of a question/s with answers of a single word, a few words, a sentence, or a paragraph.

 Project – an exercise or investigation based on a real life situation, generally requiring a significant part of the work being carried out without supervision, and involving the completion of a project report. We will also discuss with each student individually, the options that are available to them if they are deemed ‘not yet competent’ at the completion of the training course. These options include the possibility of being reassessed at a later date or alternatively undertaking the full training course again at a later date (no additional fee is payable).
