Assessment Rationale
The courses in this programme are assessed using competency-based methods.
In the first year of study, students will be assessed against the practical competencies
specified by City & Guilds (City & Guilds Diploma in Beauty Therapy Practice). These
practical assessments will be competency based.
Students have the opportunity to sit an external theory examination administered by City &
Guilds which is achievement based.
In the second year of study, students will be assessed against the practical competencies
specified by CIDESCO (CIDESCO International Diploma). These practical assessments will
be competency based.
This programme uses Grade Key 2 which enables students who meet a certain criteria to be
graded a ‘C’ for Competence or an ‘M’ for Merit for courses within the programme. To
achieve ‘C’ students must achieve the competency requirements as shown in each
assessment. To achieve ‘M’ students must achieve the merit requirements as shown in
each assessment. Courses covered are delivered and assessed in both year one and year
two.
Assessment Schedule
Please refer to your Course Outline for the Assessment Schedule for each of your Courses.
The Schedule will detail the assessment type (test, assignment, presentation, etc), the topic
being assessed, due dates, and if appropriate the weighting. Any other conditions will also
be noted as they apply to the assessments for that course.
Practical Assessment
You will be required to supply a model for practical assessments. The model you bring must
be suitable for the service. This is to certify that you are able to perform a service on an
individual who you do not know. To complete all practical 100% competency must be shown.
Wellington Institute of Technology - 2013 HV4416 Programme Handbook February 2013
Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 13

Inability to supply a model on the day of assessment will result in an incomplete assessment.
Please let Tutors know well in advance if you are having problems finding a model. It will not
be acceptable on the day of an assessment to inform the assessor of your difficulties.
Theory Assessment
Your results in assessments will be recorded as either “Merit”“Competent” or “Not Yet
Competent” in that particular course.
All students will have 1x attempt and 1x resit opportunity. A 2nd and final resit opportunity
will be awarded at the cost of $15.0
Assessment Cover Sheets
A Student Assessment Cover Sheet must be attached to all assessments handed/posted in.
If you’re on campus you can find this form on the Student Intranet:
1. Click on Forms and Documents > Assessment Forms
2. Click on Student Assignment Cover Sheet – ASF007
3. Print off the form.
If you are not on campus you can access them on the WelTec website:
a. Go to the WelTec website: www.weltec.ac.nz/PH/
b. Use the CITRIX link to login to WelTec's intranet (see the A-Z for details)
c. Use instructions 1-3 above to print the cover sheet.
Submitting Assessment And Assignment Work
Assignments or Project work are to be submitted by 3.30pm on the due date. It is essential
that you meet the assessment submission deadlines notified in your Course Outlines'
assessment schedules. Assignments or any project work handed in late will not be accepted
by the tutor unless an arrangement for a late submission has been agreed with the
Associate Head of School no less that 1 week prior to the due date.
Arranging for Late Submission Of Assessments
In case of illness, injury or exceptional circumstances you may request to make a
submission after the assessment due date by submitting a Request for Late Submission
Form prior to the due date. On receiving your Request, your tutor may negotiate a new
submission date/time. Where work has been handed in late without approval, late
assessment submission provisions will apply.
Applying For An Extension Beyond The Course End Date
If you are prevented by illness, injury or exceptional circumstances from completing an
assessment by the course end date, you may apply to the Associate Head of School for an
extension to complete the assessment.
The application is to be made in writing as soon as possible and not later than 48 hours
before the assessment due time and date. The application is made on the WelTec Course
Extension Form available from the Student Information Centre and the WelTec website.
Where there are valid reasons, the Associate Head of School may grant an extension for a
period of no more than three weeks after the course end date. A longer than three weeks’
extension may be recommended by the Associate Head of School to the Board of Studies'
Achievement Sub-Committee for approval, where there are extenuating circumstances that
justify a longer extension.
Penalty for Unarranged Late Submission
There will be no late submissions without an agreed arrangement.
Wellington Institute of Technology - 2013 HV4416 Programme Handbook February 2013
Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 14

Absence From Supervised Assessments
If for any reason you are not able to make your assessment you are to advise your Tutor as
soon as possible.
YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO SUPPLY A MODEL OF YOUR OWN CHOICE TO PERFORM
YOUR ASSESSMENT.
Reassessment Of Assessments
All students will have first attempt and first resit opportunity. A second and final resit
opportunity may be approved by your tutor. The second resit incurs a fee of $15.00 plus any
required product costs. This is to be paid on or before the day of the scheduled resit.
Assessment Results Notification
Course assessment and final grades are reported using the Grade Key 2 method. Grade
Keys are explained in Appendix 2 of the Academic Regulations.
Once your tutor has marked your assessments you will be notified of your result.
• If the assessment is in the form of a practical in-class demonstration/observation, you are
likely to get your results immediately or shortly after the assessment activity has concluded.
• If the assessment is a supervised test you are able to review your work, but the
assessment is collected and retained by WelTec.
• If you hand in an assignment it is returned to you along with feedback to explain the
reason(s) for the assessment result.
• If you sit a final exam you are able to view your result online at the student results portal:
https://results.weltec.ac.nz within 15 working days.

Results portal at: https://results.weltec.ac.nz.
Use your normal WelTec login and password to access a number of items, such as your
assessment results, current course enrolments, and other details.
Challenging Assessment Decisions
If you have reason to believe that the grade or mark for a particular assessment is incorrect,
you should firstly discuss this with your tutor within five (5) working days of the return of the
assessment.
Your tutor will provide feedback to clarify why the grade or mark has been awarded and
may, if justified, amend the result.
If you still believe that the mark or grade is incorrect, you should discuss the matter with the
Associate Head of School.
For more information on Challenging Assessment Decisions please refer to the WelTec
Academic Regulations 2013 - section 11.

PROGRAMME EVALUATION
WelTec is interested in the experience students have during their time studying. As well as
informal conversations with students, there are three main surveys available to students to
express their views and rate WelTec services.
As a student new to WelTec:
In the first few weeks you will be invited to participate in the WelTec EV1 - First Impressions
survey (www.surveymonkey.com/s/WelTecEV1). This is open to first-time WelTec students,
and asks for your rating of and views about your enrolment experience, the initial in-class
experience, and also your experience of our online resource systems, Moodle or LearnZone.
During your course time:
Your course outline may indicate that your course will have an EV4 - Teacher and Course
Evaluation undertaken towards the end. This helps the Programme Team to improve the
teaching, the course, and the value of the Programme to students. Note: you will need a
specific 'survey event code' supplied by the survey administrator to use the EV4.
At the end of the programme or year:
In the final few weeks of the programme, or year, you will be invited to participate in the EV3
- Student Satisfaction Survey (www.surveymonkey.com/s/WelTecEV3). This asks you about
your overall experience of WelTec's services, the programme, teaching, skills development,
career enhancement, and overall satisfaction.
All WelTec surveys are anonymous; we do not ask you for identification. We do however ask
for some demographic information (age range, sex, enrolment types, ethnicity, etc.) in order
to make sense of trends for particular learner groups.
The outcomes of the surveys are reported as aggregated information and tables to the
WelTec Academic Committee. The reports are also made available to students.
