Assessment OverviewThis Student Assessment Booklet includes all your tasks for assessment of BSBSUS501 Develop Workplace Policy and Procedures for Sustainability.

About your assessmentsThis unit requires that you complete 3 assessment tasks. You must complete all tasks with a competent result to achieve competency for this unit. Please read the information below about each task included in this assessment.

Assessment Task 1 Case Study

In this task, you will have your real world performance of skills and knowledge documented while being observed by your assessor. You must review the case study information and answer all questions.

Assessment Task 2 Project

In this task, you will demonstrate a sound knowledge of the unit requirements through completing a project. The task is divided into three parts:Part A: You must review sustainable practices.Part B: You must develop a sustainability policy.Part C: You must participate in policy review and consultation.

Assessment Task 3 Written Questions

In this task, you will demonstrate a sound knowledge of the unit requirements through completing and submitting written questions.You must correctly answer all questions to show that you understand the knowledge required of this unit.




Student InformationWhat is competency? To complete assessment tasks satisfactorily you will need to demonstrate competence – but what does this mean? In the Australian vocational education and training system, the concept of competence, is defined as: “The ability to perform tasks and duties to the standard expected in the workplace”. Competence involves the application of specific skills, knowledge and attitudes to the work performance in an industry, an industry sector or an enterprise. Competence is rarely achieved in a one-off demonstration. It needs to be developed holistically – that is, bringing a range of skills and knowledge together – and over time in a real or simulated workplace. To achieve competence, you need to demonstrate that you can perform a given task to the standard defined in an endorsed unit of competency.

How to submit your assessments?When you have completed each assessment you will need to submit it to your assessor. Instructions about submission can be found at the beginning of each assessment task. Make sure you photocopy your written activities before you submit them – your assessor will put the documents you submit into your student file. These will not be returned to you.

Assessment Task Cover SheetAt the beginning of each task in this booklet, you will find an Assessment Task Cover Sheet. Please fill it in for each task, making sure you sign the student declaration. Your assessor will give you feedback about how well you went in each task, and will write this on the back of the Task Cover Sheet.

Assessment outcomesOnce the assessment has been completed the student will be given the result within 14 days. Once the student has satisfactorily completed the required assessments for a unit of competency he/she will receive an outcome of C (Competent) or otherwise NYC (Not Yet Competent) in which case the student is entitled to apply for a resubmission of the assessment.

Reasonable adjustmentsWherever possible, trainers/assessors will make reasonable adjustments to training and assessment processes to ensure all people are treated equally in the training and assessment process. Students who have special needs may be allowed reasonable adjustment at the time of assessment in line with the Albright Institute’s Policy and Procedures. 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.Examples of reasonable adjustments




providing additional time for student to practice the assessment tasks presenting questions orally for students with literacy issues asking questions in a relevant practical context adapting machinery and equipment to make it more easily used presenting work instructions in diagrammatic or pictorial form instead of words

and sentences simplifying the design of tasks

It is the responsibility of each assessor to assess students’ needs and make whatever reasonable adjustments are practicable to maximise a students’ opportunity to demonstrate their competence.

Assessment re-submissionIf a student is deemed NYC (not yet competent) the Trainer/Assessor (TRN) will explain why and inform the student of what needs to be completed in order to demonstrate competence.

Re-assessment for assessments only occurs if the student has previously submitted the assessment or has missed the relevant session(s) and has been afforded special consideration which is approved by the Administration department.

If the result for the first submission of an assessment is NYC, students will be given two re-submission opportunities to achieve a competent result (this re-assessment is conducted free of charge). A suitable time will be arranged for the reassessment to occur within 14 days of the completion of the unit in question. Should a student either not make an attempt within this time frame (in spite of all efforts by Albright Institute, its Trainer/Assessor and administration staff to have the student attend a reassessment session) or the student does not achieve a satisfactory result after two re-assessments they may be charged for another attempt.

Should the student still not achieve competence after these assessment attempts, it will be necessary for them to re-enrol in (repeat) the unit of competence at a cost.

Assessment appealsYou can make an appeal about an assessment decision by filling an appeal form. Ask for an appeal for from a student support officer. Refer to Albright Institute’s Assessment Policy for more information about our appeals process.

Plagiarism PolicyAll student work must be written in their own words, except where acknowledged through quotations and referencing. Plagiarism is a serious offence; Albright Institute may impose severe penalties on students who plagiarise.For more information on Plagiarism and Cheating refer to Albright Institute’s policies.
