Assessment outcomes For unit of competency:
Assessments ca
y two potential outcomes for each unit of competency level, i.e. C (Competent) and NYC (Not Yet Competent). The latter outcome requires you to undergo more training and experience or provide further evidence.
On completion of the unit, if the assessor is satisfied that you have provided appropriate evidence and satisfied all requirements necessary to meet criteria in line with the Rules of Evidence, you will be awarded C (Competent). If it is considered that you failed to meet the necessary requirements, you will be awarded NYC (Not Yet Competent) and may be reassessed in accordance with the policies and procedures of EQUALS.
To be assessed as competent for this unit, you must demonstrate a satisfactory result in all assessment activities. Final assessment results are to be recorded on the Summary of Assessment form.
For assessment task:
Tasks ca
y two assessment outcomes, i.e. S (Satisfactory) and NYS (Not Yet Satisfactory). On the individual cover sheet for assessment tasks, the assessor must mark S (Satisfactory) if you have satisfactorily completed the task, submitted all necessary evidence and met the assessment criteria. If you have not satisfactorily completed the task, the evidence is insufficient and all requirements have not been met you will be marked NYS (Not Yet Satisfactory).
Re-assessment:
If, after the first attempt, you have proved to be unsuccessful at achieving competency you will be given two further opportunities for reassessment at a mutually agreed time and date. For further details, refer to EQUALS’ Re-Assessment Policy and Course Progress Policy.
Evidence criteria used to judge the quality of performance
The evidence criteria ensure the intent of the assessment tool is met and that you are able to demonstrate you have valid, sufficient, authentic and cu
ent skills and knowledge relevant to the unit. The criteria confirm the evidence provided by you:
· Directly relates to the competency being assessed
· Is enough to allow the assessor to make a valid judgement
· Is your own work
· Shows cu
ency of the skills and knowledge required.
Evidence criteria are used by an assessor to ensure consistent outcomes when:
· Checking evidence quality (i.e. the rules of evidence)
· Judging how well you performed according to the standard expected, and
· Collating evidence from multiple sources to make an overall judgement.

Administration, recording and reporting requirements
The assessor will securely retain, and produce in full if required at audit, all completed candidate assessment items for each candidate for a period of six months from the date on which the judgement of competence for each candidate was made. EQUALS will also retain sufficient data to be able to reissue AQF certification documentation for a period of 30 years.
Where possible assessors will retain the actual piece(s) of work completed by you. The completed evidence criteria may be sufficient where it is not possible to retain your actual work. However, EQUALS will ensure that the retained evidence has enough detail to demonstrate the judgement made of your performance against the standard required.
Assessor feedback
Each assessment tool requires an assessor to provide feedback to you, both where competency has been demonstrated and where further evidence is required. Providing feedback shows fairness in the assessment process and allows
