A course induction is conducted with each learner prior to commencement of learning, this is done via Skype or face-to-face depending on your location. The induction includes all the information learners need to know before starting their qualification, as well as a demonstration of the ISS Online Platform.
At the course induction each learner receives a submission calendar (this is also emailed to each learner together with their login details). This calendar shows the duration of the qualification and indicates the specific dates for each unit standard with the due dates for each assignment.
“Registered statement of desired education and training outcomes and its associated assessment criteria together with administrative and other information as specified in the regulations.”
A unit standard also known as an individual “subject” that forms part of the building blocks of the full qualification. A qualification is made up on a number of unit standards which have credits attached to them.
Each unit standard includes the following documents to be downloaded:
- Learner Guide – PDF document
- Formative Assessment – Word document
- Online Attendance Register – PDF document
- Workplace Assessment / Project – Word document
The Summative Assessment is not downloaded but is accessed by select “View the Summative Assessment”.
Learners are only ever expected to print documentation that requires their original signature. These documents include the “Online Attendance Register” and the “Logbook”. Once signed these can be scanned and uploaded under the relevant questions.
Learners are required to submit their Formative and Summative Assessments in FULL. Learners need to achieve 80% or above in each Specific Outcome of a unit standard in order to be deemed Competent.
ISS Online has a team of accredited assessors and subject matter experts who mark all our learners’ submissions. These assessors are accredited with the relevant SETA’s and have authority to deem learners Competent or Not yet Competent.
Learners are emailed a “Learner Feedback Report” which indicates if they have achieved Competency or not. If learners are found Competent, their submitted assessment is “Graded” on the Online Platform and they receive email confirmation of their final result.
If learners receive their “Learner Feedback Report” and they have been found Not Yet Competent, the report will indicate the areas where they fell short in. The assessor will indicate what remediation / corrective action needs to be completed in order for the learner to be found Competent.
