Principles of Assessment 

Based on Clauses 1.8 – 1.12 from the Australian Standards Quality Assurance’s (ASQA) Standards for Registered Training Organizations  (RTO) 2015, the learner would be assessed based on the following principles: 

Fairness – (1) the individual learner’s needs are considered in the assessment process, (2) where appropriate, reasonable adjustments are applied by the RTO to take into account the individual leaner’s needs and, (3) the RTO informs the leaner about the assessment process, and provides the learner with the opportunity to challenge the result of the assessment and be reassessed if necessary. 

Flexibility – assessment is flexible to the individual learner by; (1) reflecting the learner’s needs, (2) assessing competencies held by the learner no matter how or where they have been acquired and, (3) the unit of competency and associated assessment requirements, and the individual. 

Validity    – (1) requires that assessment against the unit/s of competency and the associated assessment requirements covers the broad range of skills and knowledge, (2) assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical application, (3) assessment to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a leaner could demonstrate these skills and knowledge in other similar situations and, (4) judgement of competence is based on evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and associated assessment requirements.  

Reliability – evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are comparable irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment 

Case study 
Bounce Fitness will serve the corporations in the city centres of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, helping them to become more productive, while lowering their overall costs with innovative wellness programs and strategies. 
Bounce Fitness is based on two simple facts: 
• Healthy employees are more productive than chronically ill employees 
• It costs less to prevent injuries or illnesses than to treat them after they occur. 
Traditional endeavours to corporate health care are quite reactive. Corporations wait until after staff have been ill or injured, and then pay for the necessary treatments. The Bounce Fitness approach, emphasises prevention and good health promotion, and is much more proactive. At Bounce Fitness, we tie worker productivity directly to the health care issue. We believe that traditional approaches to the current health care crisis are misdirected. 
Bounce Fitness contends that by helping employees change their behaviour patterns and choose healthier lifestyles, the health care costs to corporations will be considerably reduce through increased staff productivity, reduce absenteeism and turnover, reduced worker’s compensation claims and a healthier, more motivated staff. 
Current economic and demographic changes will make health care issues worse. The environmental factors and the local competitive situation is a clear message to Bounce Fitness. The time is right for a Bounce Fitness initiative to promote its services through an effective advertising campaign with the following objectives 
• Each of its centres will serve the community with quality, comprehensive, unique and distinctive health programs and services.  
• Staff will expand the preventive services offered while improving the quality of life among participants through health and fitness services using state of the art equipment and practices 
• Reflecting the needs of its members through value and outcome effectiveness.
