Details of the appeals process is contained in the Complaints and Appeals Policy & Procedure, provided to you prior to enrolment. See Complaints and Appeals Policy & Procedure for more details.
Plagiarism
While co-operative effort and the sharing of information are encouraged, you must ensure your assignments and assessments are representative of your own effort, knowledge and skills. You must not take the work of others and present it as your own. Plagiarism may result in the assignment/assessment being deemed to be “not yet competent” by the assessor.
Students accused more than once of academic misconduct, including plagiarism, may be dismissed or cancelled from their course at the discretion of the National Training Manager.
Plagiarism can take several forms;
- Quoting from a book or an article without acknowledging the source
- Handing in someone else’s work as your own
- Stealing and passing off another person’s words or ideas and claiming them as your own
- Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation or idea
- Downloading information from the internet without acknowledging the source
- Copying a section of a book or article and submitting it as one’s own work
- Presenting as a new and original idea or produce something which was derived from an existing source
Referencing Materials
National Training prefers that students utilises Harvard Style referencing. Generally, Harvard Reference List citations follow this format:
Books: Last name, First Initial. (Year published). Title. City: Publisher, Page(s).
Journals/publication: Last name, First initial. (Year published). Article title. Journal, Volume (Issue), Page(s).
Websites: Website name, (Year published). Page title. [Online] Available at: URL [Accessed Day Mo. Year].
Understanding your results
The great thing with competency based training is that you either deemed 'competent' (you can demonstrate the required skills and knowledge) or 'not yet competent' (at this time you haven't been able to demonstrate required skills or knowledge). The key word is "YET”.
Your trainer will provide you with feedback on your assessments so that you know what you have done well in your assessment and what you need to improve upon or fix. An "NYC" result does not mean that you have failed and that is it - you have the opportunity to try again. It could be that one question in your assessment was deemed not yet satisfactory and this is the only question that will require review.
