Written assessment

Type of Assessment
This summative assessment will enable your assessor to make a judgement of competency based on the
submission of your completed assessments against the requirements of the unit/s of competency in this
module.
Benchmark
The Assessment Benchmark developed for each unit of competency is the evidence criteria used to judge the
quality of performance (i.e. the assessment decision-making rules). Assessors use these benchmarks to make
judgements on whether competency has been achieved and to determine if you have performed to the
standard expected to meet the unit requirements.
Reasonable Adjustment
Where appropriate Monarch Institute will allow flexibility in the way in which each unit is assessed based on
the needs of an individual.
Assessment Coding
Assessment of this course is based on competency-based principles.
S = Satisfactory
NS = Not Satisfactory
If you fail to perform satisfactorily for the assessment in the prescribed way you may be assessed as ‘Not
Satisfactory’. You are required to be assessed as ‘Satisfactory’ in all assessments for each unit of
competency.
Re-assessment
Your assessment can be submitted after you have reviewed the learning materials and practiced enough to
feel confident in your resubmission. You are re-assessed in only the areas where your assessor has indicated
you were initially assessed as NS. It is at the assessor’s discretion to re-assess the entire assessment should
an overall understanding not be demonstrated.  When you are re-assessed as ‘satisfactory’ after re-
submission you will achieve competency for this assessment.
Declaration of Understanding and Authenticity
I acknowledge the assessment process has been explained and agree that I am ready to undertake
assessment. I am aware of where to find the assessor’s feedback for the assessment. I am aware of the
appeals process, should the need arise. I also understand I must be assessed as ‘satisfactory’
