Part 3 – ATI Assessment Rules and Requirements
This UAA summaries the assessment rules and requirements that govern assessments conducted
at Australian Tertiary Institute.
An ATI Trainer or representative will issue ATI students with an UAA at the commencement of
each new unit of competence. Students will be briefed by the ATI Trainer or Representative and
will then be required to complete and sign their individual UAA – to confirm they have read and
understand the rules and requirements within the Agreement.
Student assessments will not be accepted for marking without the student having completed and
signed each relevant ATI UAA.
Once the UAA has been completed and signed by each relevant student, the ATI trainer (or
ATI representative) will take a copy for ATI retention on the students file, and the student will
be provided a copy for their retention/future reference.
In accordance with the relevant NVR and ESOS Standards, ATI is required to retain all student
assessment records for International students for a minimum period of 2 years.
Students must retain a copy of all assessment/s they have completed and submitted to the Trainer
or ATI . ATI does not take responsibility for students lost or stolen assessments prior to their
having been received in the ATI allocated Assessment inbox or for assessments/correspondence
that has not been sent by the student to the correct ATI email address – as instructed and
documented to all ATI students.
ATI reserves the right to request any/all original assessment documentation from students at any
time during and/or after a student has submitted an assessment.
Assessment Readiness
Students who have demonstrated that they have satisfactorily participated in scheduled classes
will be deemed “Assessment Ready”, unless identified otherwise by the trainer or student.
Assessments are not to be accepted for marking from students who have been identified as not
being “Assessment Ready”.

6. All ATI student assessments/evidence received by ATI must be sufficiently authenticated –
ATI is to have processes and systems in place that provide evidence and/or confidence that the
assessment/evidence received is the assessment and/or work of the actual enrolled student and
that the enrolled student has submitted the assessment/evidence for marking.
ATI Authentication methods may include but are not limited to:
• the inclusion of a student formal acknowledgement within the assessment document
• restricting assessments to only being issued and received via the ATI allocated student
email account
• authentication questioning – where relevant trainers quiz students on work they have
submitted – completed face to face, via telephone, and/or web chat program i.e Skype.
ATI assessment outcomes and/or results must show evidence of a least one Assessment
Authentication method having been used or identified.
Note: Students are encouraged to ask the ATI trainer or representative any questions they may
have or seek clarification should the need to at any time during the UAA briefing process

Assessment Two: Case Study
Case Study: Which Customers Should This Restaurant Listen To?
Rohit was juggling eggs. Smooth, brown ovals—in one hand or the other for a split second, and
then up, up, up in the air. First there were three, then four, then five—Where are they coming
from? he wondered—but he kept his arms moving and the loops going, and the crowd in front of
him cheered. Where am I? Who are these people? He wanted to look around but knew he
couldn’t take his eyes off the eggs. Then, suddenly, they changed into different things: a chicken
leg, a courgette, a tomato, a potato, and a bag of lentils. He tried to keep juggling, but his fingers
slipped on the slick chicken skin, he tossed the lentils too low and the potato too high, and
everything came crashing to the ground. He looked down, but the mess wasn’t what he expected.
All around him were broken eggs—dozens of them—whites and yolks oozing out through
splintered shells.
He woke with a start—sweaty, heart racing—and looked from side to side. To his left was
Anaya, still sleeping. To his right, his nightstand and alarm clock; it was midnight. Rohit sank
back into his pillow, breathed for a moment, and started to chuckle—quietly, so as not to wake
his wife. He was the founder and CEO of Yolk-ay, a popular United Arab Emirates restaurant
chain that specialized in traditional Indian egg preparations but was, as of that morning,
considering expanding its menu. The dream was pretty easy to interpret.
Ten Years Earlier
“Dad, you have to try this.”
“Try what, Vikram?” Rohit asked, putting down the Sunday paper. He’d been staring at an ad for
the hotel where he worked as a bell captain, wishing that “superior service” had been listed
alongside “luxury spa, five-star restaurant, and rooftop pool.” He felt underappreciated, and so
24. did his team. At least he had the morning off. Anaya was making breakfast—egg oats upma—
and it smelled delicious.
“Put this in your palm and squeeze as hard as you can,” Vikram said.
“Because I want yolk all over my hands?”
“It won’t break. I promise.”
Rohit was skeptical, but his 19-year-old son rarely initiated conversation nowadays, so he did as
he was told. He squeezed—with all his might. But he couldn’t crush the egg.
“See?” Vikram said. “The shape helps it withstand the pressure.”
“Very interesting,” Anaya said, putting breakfast on the table.
“Indeed,” Rohit said, smiling and setting the egg aside.
“I miss your food, Ma,” Vikram said, mouth already full. He had started university the previous
fall and was home only on weekends. “I can’t get a good upma to save my life—never mind
masala omelets or egg curry. You should open a restaurant next to the dorm. Or even a handcart
like the one that taxi driver in Vadodara took us to when we were visiting Dadu and Nanu last
year. Remember how good those fresh omelets were? I’m telling you, there are so many Indians
on campus. My friends and I would be there every day. So would the professors.”
“Those egg dishes are easy. You could learn to cook them yourself. Isn’t there a kitchenette in
your dorm?” Anaya asked.
“No time,” Vikram replied. “Class, cricket, parties…” His mother frowned at the last point.
“And soon there will be work,” he added hastily. “I’m applying for a summer internship at Sony
in Dubai Internet City. Now, there’s a place you should open a restaurant. It’s crawling with
transplants from Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore—all in their twenties, all away from home.
Everyone’s coming for the jobs, just like you and dad did. You’d make a fortune.”
Rohit hadn’t touched his eggs. He was too busy listening to his son outline the business idea that
would change both their lives.
Five Years Earlier
“We did it, Dad—three new restaurants in three months. I know you thought I was crazy when I
suggested it, but we couldn’t let Tikka House and Raja Cooks steal such prime retail spots from
under our noses. There will be literally hundreds of new workers moving into this area and the
others over the next year, and we really need to be the ones increasing our supply to meet that
demand.”
“Did you learn that in your business school classes?” Rohit teased.
25. He felt so proud of Vikram he thought he might burst. When they had opened the first Yolk-ay
restaurant, five years ago, his son had been a scrawny college student, welcoming customers at
the door with flyers he’d printed at a local copy center. Today, armed with an MBA from the
Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management—which he’d earned while working as a cashier,
cook, restaurant manager, supplier liaison, and, finally, COO—he was a full-grown man and a
fully-fledged partner in the business.
They now had five locations, including the three new ones, spread across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and
Ras Al Khaimah, in office and residential areas with high concentrations of Indian, Pakistani,
and Bangladeshi expats. The restaurants were known across the Emirates for having the best egg
dishes west of Okha, made with local farm-fresh ingredients, priced affordably, and always
served with a smile, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Both Rohit and Vikram could recite the
pitch in their sleep, they’d given it so many times to financial backers, customers, and
journalists. Thanks to hit radio ads—developed by Vikram and featuring his and Rohit’s voices
touting the health benefits of eggs—the father-son duo had even become minor local celebrities:
expat entrepreneurs made good. Yolk-ay’s 2010 turnover had been two million dirhams. With
the expansion, they hoped to double that amount this year.
The restaurant they’d just opened, near the Mall of the Emirates in Al Barsha, had been packed
all day.
“Where to now?” Vikram asked.
“Home,” Rohit said. “Your mother is waiting for me, and I’m sure Gretchen is waiting for you.”
Vikram’s German-born wife of one year was pregnant with twins and due in just a few days.
“I meant, which locations should we start scouting next? There is huge growth in Sharjah. Tikka
House just opened there—a little too early, in my opinion—but I’ve heard rumors that both
Infosys and Tata are considering moving significant numbers of employees there next year. I
could put Arundhati on it.” Vikram’s college friend was working at Yolk-ay, focusing on new
business development.
“I appreciate your enthusiasm, Vikram, but let’s make sure the new restaurants are running
smoothly first. We don’t want to spread ourselves too thin. The quality has to stay the same
across all our outlets. That’s what we’re known for. That’s our promise to customers.”
“I promise it will, Dad. I’ll see to it.” And over the next five years, he did.
That Day
“Dadu, Dadu.” Rohit’s grandsons rushed into his arms. They were turning five today and had
asked to have a party with their preschool friends in the original Yolk-ay, in Dubai’s Al Karama.
Because their birthday fell on a Monday this year, the one day of the week the restaurants were
closed, Vikram had asked Rohit, and of course Rohit had agreed. The boys were the light of his
life, and no matter how many Yolk-ays there now were—they’d opened the eighth location, in
Sharjah, a year before—this was still his favorite. It felt like home, especially this morning, since
26. Anaya was cooking in the kitchen. He’d told her he would ask the staff to come in and handle
everything—his employees were like family, after all—but she’d insisted.
“Your chefs might cook for every twenty-something in the Emirates nowadays, but they’re not
going to cook for my grandsons on their birthday,” she’d told him.
Vikram was right behind the boys, carrying presents, which he set down on one of the café
tables. “Are you ready for 10 more toddlers running around this place?” he asked.
“Of course,” Rohit replied. “They’re the next generation of customers!”
“At least we have an hour until they come. Does Ma need help? Ah, never mind, Gretchen is
already on her way.” Indeed, Rohit’s daughter-in-law had given him a quick kiss on the cheek
and then darted behind the counter and through the double doors into the kitchen, shouting
“Boys, be good!” as she went.
“Is she talking to us or to them?” Rohit joked.
“I brought some trains to keep them occupied,” Vikram said, pulling the toys out of a rucksack.
“Great, let’s play.”
“Actually, Dad, I was hoping we could talk business for a second. Have you thought about the
discussion we had with Arundhati last week?”
“Sure—we’ve hit a dead end with geographic expansion. That’s fine. We can focus on the
existing restaurants for now.”
“Yes, but turnover has been flat for the past few months, and we seem to be losing market share
to Tikka House and to western competitors like KFC. Of course, we still have loyal customers
who love us for the familiarity, but we don’t seem to be winning new ones. The excitement isn’t
there anymore. That’s why Arundhati and I think we need to start expanding in other ways.”
“Are you talking about home delivery again? I thought we’d agreed that our dishes don’t travel
as well as they’d need to. No one wants cold eggs.”
“Actually, people do want us to do home and office delivery. According to our customer surveys,
they want it desperately. They’re getting it from every single one of our competitors. But you’re
right—maybe they don’t recognize the reduction in quality that would come with the
convenience. The chefs have been adamant on that point, and I’m not going to argue with them,
or you, about it again.”
“Good,” Rohit said.
“So let’s talk about the menu. What can we add to spice things up?”
27. “The chefs in the test kitchen were working on some new preparations yesterday—a recipe one
of them got from his great-aunt, another from a cookbook that just came out in America.”
“Egg dishes?”
“Of course,” Rohit said. “Yolk-ay is eggs. Our brand, our marketing, our genesis—eggs. ”
“Only eggs, for ever and ever? Couldn’t we consider adding some vegetarian and chicken dishes,
with poultry and produce sourced from the same farms as our eggs? We already have solid
relationships with suppliers, and they’d love to do more business with us. They’ve been begging
us for years.”
Case Study Teaching Notes
Sandeep Puri and Kirti Khanzode teach the case on which this is based in MBA marketing,
services marketing, and retail management courses.
What drew you to this story?
Many of our students and friends regularly visit Raju Omlet. We had a chance to meet with the
founder to discuss the challenges of expanding without compromising the unique value
proposition.
How do you kick off the discussion?
We ask about critical success factors in the restaurant industry generally and in the UAE in
particular. Then we prompt students to discuss customer expectations, marketing
communications, and potential growth strategies, including home delivery, geographic
expansion, and menu changes.
What do you hope they’ll take away?
We want them to understand the importance of branding to small and medium-size businesses, to
evaluate the strategic choices available to Raju Omlet given customer preferences, and to work
out how entrepreneurial firms create and sustain competitive advantage.
“Of course they have. It would mean more money for them.”
“More for us, too, I think. Arundhati and I asked a few questions about this in the last survey. A
full 48% of respondents said they would come to Yolk-ay more frequently and spend more each
time if we had a more varied menu.”
“And what did the other 52% say?”
Vikram ducked his head sheepishly. “They said they were happy with the menu and probably
wouldn’t change their routine—but Dad, remember that these are our most loyal customers,
28. people who really love their eggs. Imagine if we did a broader survey of all quick-service
restaurant diners—everyone who goes to Tikka House or Raja Cooks or KFC. If we asked them
what would bring them to Yolk-ay more often, you know they’d say more offerings.”
“We’ve always said that if you try to do everything, you won’t do anything well.”
“I don’t want us to do everything—just a few more things, enough to get people talking about us
again, enough to make sure this business keeps growing, for me, for you, for your grandsons.”
“What does Sunil think?” Yolk-ay’s head chef was a traditionalist; Rohit couldn’t imagine
suggesting this type of expansion to him, much less insisting he execute it. There would be huge
implications for the kitchen staffs—new ingredients, equipment, and stations; additional training;
a whole new way of working together.
“Actually, we asked him to do a small, unofficial market test on Friday. Don’t be mad—it was
impromptu, just something Arundhati and I thought up that morning, a tiny experiment. We
brought him the ingredients for those samosas he made for last quarter’s company party, and he
grumbled at first but finally agreed to make a batch to hand out as samples to the lunch crowd.
People loved them—couldn’t get enough. And Sunil was grinning from ear to ear.”
“So he wants to expand the menu too?”
“Not exactly. He talked my ear off about the havoc it would wreak on his systems. But I think
we could bring him on board if we had your support.”
“I don’t know, Vikram. Can we talk about it at the office tomorrow? I thought we were here to
eat cake and watch a clown do some juggling.”
“Sure, Dad. Sleep on it. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
That Night
Rohit was still at the party, and the twins were opening the last of their gifts, tearing into
identical boxes wrapped in yellow paper and tied with red bows. They were quite large—Had
Vikram bought them those monster trucks?—but once the boys had them open, it looked like
only white tissue paper was inside. They pulled out sheet after sheet after sheet, flinging them
across the table, until finally, simultaneously, they reached in deep and pulled out their prizes. In
Reza’s hand, hoisted above his head, was a perfect brown egg. In Wolfgang’s, a chicken leg.
Both boys were beaming.
Rohit woke again with a start and turned to the alarm clock: 1 AM. Two dreams in one night
about the same thing: Vikram’s proposal. But what did they mean? Stick to eggs, or not?
Answer the following questions:
1. Should Yolk-ay expand its menu offerings? Explain in detail the reason for your decision.
30. • Should Yolk-ay start a delivery service?
