When an assessment (e.g., assignment, quiz, test) has been submitted by a student, the assessor may seek a reasonable amount of additional information, evidence or clarification from the student to determine if the required level of competency has been met.
In instances where the second assessment result is Not Yet Competent (NYC), a student will be required to contact a tutor/assessor for feedback before being allowed a third attempt. Students will be counselled, by an AVT assessor, to ensure they are aware of the reassessment policy and have received adequate feedback on their previous submissions.
In the event that a student has been deemed Not Yet Competent after the third attempt of a single assessment, the student will be requested to pay a reassessment fee as per the AVT fees schedule.
In the event that a student has been deemed Not Yet Competent after all four attempts of a single assessment, the student will again be contacted by the Program Manager to discuss future steps. This will include a review of the overall course progression and the possibility of re-enrolling in the unit.
If a student is not deemed competent, the overall grade for the unit of competency will be CNA (Competency Not Achieved) and the student will not meet the qualification packaging requirements to be successfully awarded the full qualification.
At the completion of the course, the student will instead be provided with a Statement of Attainment for any units that have been successfully completed.
