[email protected]Locked Documents
HBA assessment materials are ‘Locked’ with restricted editing. This means you can only write in the coloured
ackets provided. We do this to ensure the integrity of our documents can be maintained.
If your software is not compatible with a locked document and you are having any issues typing into the
ackets, refer to HBA Learning Centres Support Centre https:
hba.edu.au/support-centre/ or contact HBA at

Elements of Assessment
The elements of each activity in this workbook need to be undertaken, completed, and returned to HBA electronically for assessment. Any additional information or evidence supplied by the learner to support their assessments should be returned with this workbook.
In undertaking an activity in this workbook you may be asked to:
· Answer questions;
· Conduct research;
· Complete templates.
NOTE:
Some activities may require you to undertake internet or other research. This research assists in meeting competency requirements and in completing assigned activities.
This workbook:
· The Learner Guide has been designed to provide you with ample amount of background information to assist you with understanding each Unit of Competency. Use the Learner Guide, the Learner Resources Folder and conduct some additional research to formulate your answers.
· It is essential that your answer addresses all components of the question adequately, simply copying and pasting content that more or less answers the question is not appropriate. You can copy and paste content from other sources, but you must modify/paraphrase it to meet the question requirements and demonstrate your understanding of key concepts, ideas and models.
· Provide a response to each question
equest in the left hand column of the table below. Your responses should be entered into the adjacent area in the right hand column. Answers need to contain enough information and detail to demonstrate a sound understanding of the area/s the question relates to.
· It is not acceptable to use the example provided for you under the question in your own response.
Tips:
· Read the questions to ensure you are providing what has been asked for.
· Answers do not need to be overly expansive, but they do need to have sufficient information to clearly answer the question and demonstrate your understanding.
Checking off Assessment Tasks
As you complete each activity, it is recommended you check it off against the supplied activity checklist and attach any additional supplementary evidence required to meet competency. In signing off on each activity you are declaring that YOU have undertaken the specified task(s). Where it is verified that a learner fraudulently signed off on an assessment item as being their own work when it is not, competency will be withheld and the relevant authorities notified.
· Once you answer the question, re-read the question to make sure you have covered off on all requirements.
· It is not appropriate to use the example provided for you in your answer.
Submitting Assessment Workbooks
Only completed assessment activity items with appropriate evidence which is valid under the Registering Authority guidelines, and the terms of the RTO and its authorised delegates will be used toward determining competence.
You must submit your assessments in the Workbooks provided in their original format.
Untidy, unclear, or hard to decipher material will be returned to the learner without assessment being conducted. HBA will not undertake assessment until the evidence supplied is in a format that meets the professional standard required by those working in leadership roles in the workplace.
Workbooks will only be assessed when all activities have been completed. Where a Workbook is submitted with activities not complete, this is a formal submission and you will be deemed Not Satisfactory, with 2 submission attempts remaining.
NOTE:
All assessment tasks and supporting evidence must to be electronically sent (e-mailed) to HBA for assessment at:
[email protected].
