Please read prior to undertaking assessment activities. 
 
Competency Based Assessment 
 
Competency based assessment is the process of collecting evidence and making judgments about whether competency has been achieved and can be demonstrated, including both skills and knowledge, to confirm whether an individual can perform to the standards expected in the workplace and by industry. 
 
Competency based assessment does not use a marking scale rather the student is deemed competent or not competent in a unit of competency. Satisfactory demonstration of all activities is required before competency is achieved for the unit. Students deemed not competent are given additional opportunities to demonstrate competency.
 
Plagiarism
 
Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own, including unit resources such as PowerPoints and Study Guides.
 
This also includes the use of Generative AI (GAI) tools such as ChatGPT. You may use GAI tools as a research source but may not use the output in any part of your assessment response unless it has been explicitly required in your assessment task.  It is also strongly recommended that any information sourced from GAI tools is fact checked with a known and trusted source.
 
Copying the work of another person, entity or tool and submitting it as your own, knowing that it has been copied, is a form of plagiarism. Should this occur, you will be required to re-sit the complete assessment. 
 
To support our Academic Integrity, we have integrated Turnitin into our assessment system. It will identify where you have sourced information so using your own words along with accurate referencing is very important.
 
Referencing – Certificate IV and Diploma only
 
We have an expectation for you to use the APA 7 Referencing Style. For more information refer to the Griffith University website or the University of Queensland website.
You must supply references to all material and resources you have used in your answers, including websites, books, articles, magazines and newspapers.
Example One: The Study Guide accessed via your assessment is referenced as a book -electronic.
