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.
Inability to supply a model on the day of assessment will result in an incomplete assessment.

Submitting Assessment And Assignment Work

your tutor. Please refer to your course outlines for any penalties for late submission of
assessments.
Some assessments may have time-related criteria attached to them. Your course outline will
notify you of these particular assessments, and the reasons for the time criteria. Lateness,
absence or early departure from these assessments may carry specific penalties.
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

submission date/time. Where work has been handed in late without approval, late
assessment submission provisions will apply.

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.
