Section 1 – Introduction
This is the assessment kit for the unit of competency BSBHRM523 Coordinate the learning and development off teams and individuals.
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to coordinate the learning and development of teams and individuals. Particular emphasis is on the coordination of strategies to facilitate and promote learning and to monitor and improve learning performance.
The unit applies to individuals who have a role in coordinating the development of a learning environment in which work and learning come together. At this level work will normally be carried out within complex and diverse methods and procedures, which require the exercise of considerable discretion and judgement, using a range of problem solving and decision-making strategies.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
The guide provides the assessor with the instructions, benchmarks, performance indicators and structure to enable any assessor to reach the same conclusions in determining competency.
The structure of this guide is along 6 different sections Section 1: Introduction
Section 2: Ensures clarity of purpose and promotes fairness with the assessment activities Section 3: Addresses the explicit knowledge requirements
Section 4: Provides instructions for the gathering of the performance evidence Section 5: Competency outcome record
Section 6: Mapping
The purpose of this assessment
The purpose of the assessment is to confirm that an individual can perform to the standard required in the workplace, as specified by the training package or a vocational education. The assessment process collects evidence and makes judgements on whether competency has been achieved.
The assessment process is the final stage in confirming a candidate has the skills and knowledge to perform an identified task.

The assessment process.
Before the assessment your assessor must: –
Ensure you understand the content of your assessment kit prior to the commencement of the assessment.
If there is a simulation or role play that uses actors, provide you the background details observation checklist, so you are familiar with the conduct of the role play.
Ensure that you know you can insert your responses to the questions into the space provided in the knowledge section, noting the space does not indicate the length of your response.
Identify any learning needs associated with this assessment. This should be completed ideally before starting the assessment. For example, if you have LLN issues, or you may not have access to technology to complete and submit your assignment. If you have issues, then then discuss with the assessor so they can work out options for you. Where applicable, negotiate reasonable adjustment for those requiring assistance. Adjustments include any changes to the assessment process or context. However, you must remember not to compromise the integrity of the competency.
They must ensure you have a full understanding of the assessment process. This includes clarifying the following information:
- the purpose of the assessment
- the conditions of the assessment, which includes:
- the timeframes for each task
- the due date for submitting their assessment
- the location where the assessment tasks will be undertaken
- the essential information required to carry out the assessment (e.g. templates, policy and procedures, etc.)
the mandatory requirements you must perform to be deemed satisfactory for an assessment activity includes
- meet all the requirements outlined in the Learner’s Assessment Guide
- responses to the questions and tasks must be accurate and relevant
- your work must be authentic and in your own words
- provide reference to any external source that you use
- perform all the above points within the deadlines set the Assessor
- Plus be aware of
- the number of resubmits allowed
- the appeals process.
Once you have understood all this you will be asked to sign the Pre-Assessment Checklist and declaration located immediately prior to your questions. You will not be assessed until this understanding is confirmed and signed.
During the Assessment
You are permitted to may contact your assessor for information regarding what you must do and how you have to do it. Remember that this is an assessment; therefore, your assessor cannot give you the solutions, answers or even suggestions on what to write. They are limited to clarifying what is required.
The practical tasks are a combination of written tasks and observation of work activities. There are NO role plays.
Your assessor is required to provided you effective feedback.
After the Assessment
Your assessor will decide and recommend competency or not yet competent. This is to be confirmed by the RTO following quality checks of the completed assessments.
Comments should be positive and focus on any gaps and strategies for further development.
We will ask you for feedback on your experience with this particular assessment. This is voluntary but useful for us, as it provides further information for continuous improvement.
Once all assessment events are completed, the relevant sections of the assessment sign off sheets and student feedback are forwarded with the completed assessments to the Administration.
For those students deemed ‘Not Yet Competent’ (NYC), the assessor will retain the submitted assessments while the student is being reassessed. Once deemed competent, all assessments, including ones where the student did not demonstrate competency, are to be forwarded to the Administration for filing and the generation of the relevant statements of attainment.
For those students who do not wish to undergo reassessment, their NYC assessments are to be forwarded to the Administration for filing.
If you decide to appeal the outcome, please instigate the appeals process in accordance with the policies and procedures manual. All the assessment activities must be successfully completed.
Learners have two (2) opportunities to complete the assessment tasks successfully
Recording the assessment outcomes
Assessors are to record their observations, feedback and determinations in using the forms provided
in the assessor’s checklists (booklet).
Whenever the following panel appears in the assessor’s workbook or in the learner’s kit, that page must be completed and thenremoved by to be returned to the RTO where it is kept with the student’s records.
Note, any issues or misunderstanding about the intent of any question or task described in this document, needs to be referred to the Principal as part of the continuous improvement and moderation practices adopted by the RTO again using the space provided in the learner’s Marking guide.
Retention of Completed Assessments
As per ASQA and your RTO’s requirements, all completed assessments are to be retained for at least six months from the completion of the assessment. After this six-months, these records will be destroyed. You are advised to retain your own copy for future reference.
Advice on applying reasonable adjustments
In assessing the competence of individuals, assessors must provide for reasonable adjustments to ensure the assessment principles of fairness and flexibility are addressed.
For example, they may respond to situations that reflect their life experiences and or cultural background and the assessor should make adjustments for this.
However, assessors must be confident that reasonable adjustments do not compromise the outcomes of the unit and the integrity of the qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued as certification of achievement.
Where a learner requires reasonable adjustments, assessors must decide what types of adjustments are needed and then make a judgment about whether these are ‘reasonable’ given the unit content requirements and specifications. The test of reasonableness is subjective but must be guided by the principles of assessment and the balance between them, as well as the rules of evidence.
Reasonable adjustments may take the form of additional support during the assessment process, for example, in the provision of particular equipment or software, or changes to the physical environment, or provision of support persons for physical disability or additional time.
An individual’s access to the assessment process should not be adversely affected by restrictions placed on the location or context of assessment beyond the requirements specified in this Training Package.
The use of interpreters would not be a reasonable adjustment for assessment of units in this Training Package as English language is essential.
Similarly, a focus on oral responses in place of documentary evidence would not be reasonable if the unit clearly requires evidence of literacy skills to write, document and record material. Given the focus on cognitive skills in these cases that relate to planning, research, analysis, thinking techniques and evaluation, achieving the competency outcomes may be difficult for people with some learning disabilities or intellectual disabilities.
Where reasonable adjustments have been applied, assessors should ensure the type of adjustments is recorded to guide any further assessments of the learner and for validation purposes. This can include provisions for the person’s culture, mores, and life experiences.
Appeals
The learner has the right to appeal any of the assessment outcomes and if they wish to do so should refer to their student handbook to determine how to lodge an appeal. Learners and assessors should refer to the appeals policy, noting the following is a summary of the actions and responsibilities.
In the first instance an informal approach is to be made to the assessor with any new evidence or to clarify existing evidence. Where the participant is still dissatisfied with the decision then a formal request can be made to the RTO Manager who will refer the assessment to a facilitator who was not involved in the original decision, to review the decision.
If the participant is still dissatisfied with the decision, then a written notice of appeal may be lodged with the RTO requesting an independent review by an external appeal consultant.
Appeals should be lodged within 7 days of the assessment and usually responded to within 21 days however where the RTO considers more than 60 days are required to respond it will inform the appellant, explaining the delay and ensure it regularly updates the appellant on the progress of the appeal. Learner’s will not be able to re-sit a third and subsequent assessment for this unit without prior written approval from the RTO Manager.
Why so many signature
BCH is required to comply with Australian Standards for the delivery of training and assessment services. Part of these standards is to demonstrate it has always treated you fairly and that includes when you undertake an assessment.
In many cases the assessor is required to provide you feedback as you progress through your assessment and BCH is required to provide evidence to confirm your assessor has informed you of the outcome of your assessment and make suggestions for improvement or record the steps you can take to continue your learning and or assessment.
With that in mind we ask that you co-operate with us by signing any reports or statements that confirm your assessment. You do not need to sign if you feel uncomfortable in doing so. Let us know if you have any concerns with signing anything.
As always you have the right to appeal any outcome and we ask you to do so in writing according to our procedures You have the right to appeal any outcome and we ask you do so in writing according to our procedures.

Assessor’s instructions
Tasks 1 to 6 of this Workplace Project Assessment are designed only for the purpose of this assessment and is not meant to add/modify any existing learning plans, policies and procedures in the learner’s specific organisation/workplace.
This workplace project assessment must be conducted in a real workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.
In most instances international student will not have access to a workplace. In this case they will be required to engage with the Bounce Fitness website which is a simulated business created for the purpose of assessments in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) system.
Most of the assessments within this package are designed to be completed using the simulated business, which can be accessed through the Precision Group website. This requires a Learners log on to access documents they require in completing their assessment.
This may be accessed via the forms and templates for each unit of competency using the code Username: lcclearner
Password: lcc@123
Even if the assessment is undertaken in a simulated workplace environment, it must still provide the learner with access to all the resources required to complete this assessment, e.g., if the task requires the learner to refer to organisational plans and documents to develop new workplace policies and procedures, they must still be provided with actual/simulated organisational plans and documents to assist in new policy development.
To simulate the tasks:
Adapt/revise the instructions provided in each task so that they can be completed in a simulated environment. This includes:
Providing additional contextual information such as details of a simulated business/workplace environment.
Providing simulated workplace documents such as policies and procedures, business plans, organisational charts, key performance indicators (KPIs), job descriptions, etc.
Arranging the requirements of observation tasks such as discussing with the learner’s workplace supervisor to allow the learner to conduct meetings with people within the organisation to participate in these meetings, through role play activities.
Creating scenarios based on the simulated business/workplace environment that will allow the learner to complete the task, e.g., resolving a customer service or workplace dispute.
IMPORTANT:
Any preparation required to simulate the assessments must be completed before distributing the assessment workbooks and associated assessment tools to the learners.
When simulating the assessments for the learner, the assessor must ensure the assessment tasks and benchmark performance still address the relevant unit requirements and assessment requirements in compliance with Standards for RTOs 2015 Clause 1.8-1 Principles of assessment and Clause 1.8-2 Rules of evidence.
