ASSESSMENT INFORMATION for students
Throughout your training, Kingston Institute of Australia is committed to your learning by providing a training and assessment framework that ensures the knowledge gained through training is translated into practical on the job improvements.
You are going to be assessed for:
· Your skills and knowledge using written and observation activities that apply to the workplace or a simulated environment.
· Your ability to apply your learning.
· Your ability to recognize common principles and actively use these on the job.
All of your assessment and training is provided as a positive learning tool. Your assessor will guide your learning and provide feedback on your responses to the assessment materials until you have been deemed competent in this unit.
Assessment Process
The process we follow is known as competency-based assessment. To achieve competency in this unit, you need to consider the components of the training package and fulfill the assessment requirements. Some of the components are Elements, Performance Criteria, Performance Evidence, Knowledge Evidence and Assessment Conditions. For more details on components, please visit the following links and search for the unit using the unit code;
https://training.gov.au/Training/Details
In competency-based assessment, the evidence of your current skills and knowledge will be measured against national standards of best practice, not against the learning you have undertaken either recently or in the past. Some of the assessment will be concerned with how you apply your skills and knowledge in the workplace, and some in the training room as required by each unit.
The assessment tasks have been designed to enable you to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge and produce the critical evidence to successfully demonstrate competency at the required standard.
Your assessor will explain the assessment process and ensure that you are ready for assessment. Your assessment tasks will outline the evidence to be collected and how it will be collected, for example; a written activity, case study, or demonstration and observation.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

11. How is my course assessed?
This course is assessed using a combination of:
internally assessed Pearson-set assignments
(which are set by Pearson and marked by college lecturers)
internally assessed college-devised internal
assignments
(which are set and marked by college teacher / assessors)
You will need to complete a Pearson-set assignment which is
mandatory and targets particular industry-specific skills. For the
HNC you will need to complete ONE core 15 credit unit at Level
4 (Unit 01 Individual Project) which is assessed by a mandatory
Pearson set assignment.
You will need to complete internally assessed college-devised
internal assignments for all other core and optional units.
12. How is my course assessed?
Pearson issue an annual THEME and (for Level 4) a set
of related TOPICS.
Your assignment for this unit is based on the current
theme. This will enable you to consider the types of risk
that are present within modern construction and explore
methods of assessing, managing and mitigating those
risks.
For this assignment you will need to submit a research
report.
Current Theme: Ethics in Construction
Topic: Ethics for sustainability
Pearson-set assignment – Unit 01 Individual Project
13. How is my course assessed?
College-devised internal assignments
You will have to complete college-devised
assignments for all other units you are studying.
These will be issued with a hand-out date,
a hand in date and clear requirements for the evidence
that you are expected to provide.
There may be specific observed practical components
during the assignment period.
Assignments will usually be divided into separate parts
and may require several forms of evidence.
14. Assessment Schedule

15. Calculation of the final grade
To achieve a BTEC Level 4 Higher National
Certificate in Construction and the Built
Environment you must have:
completed units equivalent to 120 credits at
Level 4
achieved at least a Pass in 120 credits at Level 4
16. Calculation of the final grade
The calculation of your overall qualification
grade is based on your performance in all units
to the value of 120 credits.
You will be awarded a Pass, Merit or Distinction
qualification grade using the points gained
through all 120 credits, at Level 4 for the HNC,
based on unit achievement. For the point
boundaries see table here.
All units in valid combination must be attempted
120 credits).
At least 105 credits must be Pass or above.
All 120 credits count in calculating the grade.
17. Calculation of unit grades
Points per credit:
Pass: 4
Merit: 6
Distinction: 8
The calculation of the points you receive for a unit is based on
how many credits the unit is worth. Most of them are worth 15
credits.
The number of points per credit are shown in the table below.
Example: if you achieve a Merit for a unit that is worth 15
credits then you will get 90 points for that unit.
18. Calculation of unit grades
To achieve a Pass in a unit you must have satisfied all the Pass criteria for the Learning
Outcomes, showing coverage of the unit content and providing evidence for all the ‘command
words’ in the assessment criteria.
To achieve a Merit in a unit you must have satisfied all the Merit criteria (and therefore the Pass
criteria) through high performance in each Learning Outcome and providing evidence for all the
‘command words’ in the assessment criteria.
To achieve a Distinction in a unit you must have satisfied all the Merit criteria (and therefore the
Pass and Merit criteria) through outstanding performance in each Learning Outcome and
providing evidence for all the ‘command words’ in the assessment criteria.
19. Command Verbs
When you are completing unit assignment tasks it is important that the work that you
produce provides evidence for all the ‘command words’ in the assessment criteria
that you are being assessed against.
If, for example - as in the diagram below - D4 is EVALUATE, you need to make sure
that your work is an evaluation rather than just a description to achieve D4. It
should therefore include, for example, strengths and weaknesses and areas for
improvement of the use of and effectiveness of interpersonal skills while delivering
a training event rather than just a description of the interpersonal skills used to
organise the event.
20. Assignment submission
Assignments must be handed in on time by the
hand in date stated on each unit assignment brief.
In exceptional circumstances, if you require an
extension then you need to complete an AE1 form
to request an extension. This needs to be approved
by the Head of School.
When you have completed each unit assignment, they need to be uploaded to the
Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) for all units that you are studying by the hand in
date on the assignment brief.
Your assignments will be graded by your assessor and feedback given. Feedback
will be given on the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). The feedback your
assessor gives must be timely, supportive and identify areas for improvement and
developmental points.
21. Pearson Assessment Submission rules
Pearson have strict rules on how many times you can hand in your assignments.
The rules are:
if after the 1st assessment opportunity you failed to achieve a Pass for a
unit you can do ONE resubmission when the unit has been completed
resubmission of assignment briefs will normally involve reworking the
original task
if you do a resubmission the grade will be capped at a PASS for that unit
you are NOT allowed to redo any component of an assignment for which
a Pass grade or higher has already been awarded
22. Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a
method of assessment that considers whether
students can demonstrate that they can meet
the assessment requirements for a unit
through knowledge, understanding or skills
they already possess, through experiences
whether at work, home or at leisure, as well as
in the classroom so do not need to develop
them through a course of learning.
Provided that the assessment requirements of a given unit or qualification have
been met, the use of RPL is acceptable for accrediting a unit, units or a whole
qualification.
If you think you could provide possible evidence for RPL please contact your
teacher/assessor who will be able to advise you further on what to do next.
23. Referencing and Plagiarism
It is important that the assignment work that you submit is your own work.
This means that any phrases, sentences (even part sentences) that appear in
your assessments are either your own words or if you have used the words
of others that they are referenced appropriately.
To do this you need to use referencing conventions: Harvard Referencing.
It is expected that you will reference all sources correctly.
Plagiarism detection software will be used by the teaching team to
check your assignment submissions.
24. What is Plagiarism and Collusion?
Cheating is a serious offence and takes many forms including:
Plagiarism – passing off the work of someone else as if it is
your own.
Collusion – working closely with someone else to produce an
assignment that is meant to be the work of an individual.
25. How to use Harvard Referencing
For more information click on this link for the virtual library:
https://gloscolac.sharepoint.com/sites/VirtualLibrary/SitePages/Study%20Skills.aspx
Citing (in text referencing) -
when you refer to another author's work
within your text ‘cite’ your source by
providing the last name of the author and
the year of publication.
Here are a few examples:
Cottrell (2013) states that….
“Quotation” (Cottrell, 2013, p.104)
As noted by Elliott and Quinn (2014) …
Referencing (at the end of your work) -
under the heading References or
Bibliography, write a full description of each
source you have cited, listing them in
alphabetical order by the author's last name.
Here is an example:
Books
Format: FAMILY/SURNAME, Initials. (Publication year in
brackets) Book title—italicised or underlined. Series title and
volume if applicable. Edition—if not the first. Place of
publication: publisher.
Example: Cottrell, S. (2013) The Study Skills Handbook. 4th
Ed. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan.
26. Assessment Appeals
If you don’t agree with an assessment decision that
your teacher/assessor had made that you have the
right to appeal against it. If you would like to appeal
contact the Course Leader or Head of School for your
qualification. They will advise you about the next steps
in the process.
A copy of the college Appeals Policy – the Academic
Appeals and Extenuating Circumstances Procedure
(PROC-09-01) and the student guide shown here can
be viewed on the college intranet.
If you are not satisfied with the appeal outcome at
college level, you can appeal to the awarding body
Pearson and the Office of the Independent Adjudicator.
28. Quality Assurance of Assessment
Internal verification of assessment
Internal verification is the quality assurance system that monitors assessment practice. All
assignment briefs are internally verified, before they are issued to students to ensure that
they are ‘fit for purpose’. This ensures that students are given the opportunity to complete
tasks that will generate the required evidence for Pass, Merit and Distinction assessment
criteria. Sometimes these assignments are also checked by Pearson.
A proportion of marked students’ work is checked by an Internal Verifier for each unit,
assessor and range of grades students have achieved. This ensures that assessors are
marking to national standards and grading is consistent across the qualification nationally.
External Sampling
External Sampling is Pearson’s quality assurance system that monitors assessment practice
and internal verification of assessment in centres. An External Examiner from Pearson will
visit once a year to check a proportion of learners’ marked work to ensure that assessors are
marking and grading to national standards and that internal verification is effective. They also
meet learners and staff to get their views on the management of the qualification, teaching,
learning and assessment. After the visit they produce a report which is available to students
on the VLE.
29. Quality Assurance of Assessment
Examination boards
Examination boards are held three times a year.
The main purpose of the interim exam boards is to confirm learner progress / achievement of
individual units.
The main purpose of the final exam board is to confirm learner achievement and grades for a
whole qualification.
Exam boards also monitor academic standards, include discussion and review of any cases
of cheating and plagiarism, progression of students onto the next stage of qualification and
student resubmissions.
31. Student Induction
Before you start the course you will have an induction which will guide you
through the most important aspects of being a student at Gloucestershire College
and details of the qualification that you will be studying.
You induction will include information about:
your qualification
the teaching team
your timetable
term dates
the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
how your qualification will be assessed
student support services
32. Academic Writing
The process of academic writing
Research – primary and secondary sources
Plan – list, organise, outline or mindmap
Write a draft – take time to write a number of drafts, with revisions,
based on further reading and reflection
Peer review – review by ‘critical friend’
Edit and proof read – formatting, spelling, punctuation and
references
Submit assessment
Adapted from (Stella Cottrell, 2003)
33. Academic Writing
Helpful hints:
Write clearly and concisely:
• Try to avoid long, awkward sentences that risk losing the interest of the
reader;
• Avoid a showy display of ‘jargon’ to hide a poorly structured assessment.
Understand the structure of paragraphs
• A paragraph tends to develop a single idea, a series of which forms an
essay.
Leave out needless words
• Try to avoid phrases such as ‘It can be seen at this point of the enquiry
that...’.
Include a reference list in all assignment work

Offer students opportunities to provide feedback on their experience and
contribute to our evaluations of HE delivery and activities relating to access and
participation.
Ensure students are at the heart of their teaching and learning experience.
