Please consult with your trainer/assessor if you are unsure of any questions. It is important that you understand and adhere to the terms and conditions, and address fully each assessment task. If any assessment task is not fully addressed, then your assessment task will be returned to you for resubmission. Your trainer/assessor will remain available to support you throughout the assessment process.

organised to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.

The assessor can then contact the third party in instances where they require more evidence to determine competency, or they cannot observe certain tasks themselves.
