Assessment Appeals Form

Appealing an Assessment

A formal appeal must only be lodged after all other avenues have been exhausted. This means you must raise any assessment issues you may have with your assessor who will then review your assessment and provide you with written feedback. Depending on the circumstances, your assessor may request that another assessor review the assessment decision.

Only when you have exhausted the options available to you should a formal appeal be lodged.

The course guide, statement of required competencies and learners guide provide you with the information that you need to determine if an assessment is need of review. Appeals need to demonstrate at least one of the following points:

• The assessment arrangements did not take into account your personal needs in relation to a disability, medical condition or cultural requirements and that you had declared this prior to the assessment.

• The assessment has not reflected the stated competencies for the course e.g skills over and above the competency levels were assessed

• The assessment was not relevant to the course content

• The assessment was not an accurate reflection of work submitted
