Unique Student Identifier (USI)

According to the Student Identifiers Act 2014, a Registered Training Organisation can not issue a VET Qualification or VET Statement of Attainment to a student after 2014, unless the student has an Unique Student Identifier.

A Unique Student Identifier is a reference number made up of ten (10) numbers and letters that:

Creates a secure online record of an individual’s recognised training and qualifications gained in Australia from all recognised training providers.
It provides the student with access to all training records and transcripts.
Can be accessed online, anytime and anywhere.
Is free and easy to create and stays with you for life.

To obtain a USI, simply visit www.usi.gov.au and follow the prompts.

The following procedure is to be followed by all RIKLAN employees when gaining consent to apply for a USI on a student’s behalf:

Upon enrolling into a training program with RIKLAN, it is a compulsory requirement that all students have a Unique Student Identification Number.
If a student does not have an USI, RIKLAN are able to apply for a USI on the student’s behalf with consent.
The student must fill out an USI Authority form which can be obtained at reception.
Once completed, RIKLAN personnel are able to create the individual an USI.
The USI Authority form is then filed and saved with the enrolment forms.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The USI will be linked to the student’s name as it appears on the form of ID you used to create the USI. The personal details entered when you create a USI must match exactly with those on your form of ID. If you do not have proof of ID from the list above, you can contact your training organisation about the other forms of ID they can accept to assist you in obtaining a USI.

Privacy and Access to Training Records

RIKLAN takes the privacy of participants very seriously. Under the Privacy Act 1988, all records of USI’s are protected from misuse. Collection, use and disclosure of an individual’s student identifier without consent is illegal, unless it is authorised by the Student Identifiers Act 2014.

Riklan Emergency Management Services is committed to implementing best practice in its records management practices and systems, responding in a timely manner to all requests of information from present and past students. All staff employed by Riklan Emergency Management Services will be required to apply themselves to the provisions of the Privacy and Protection of Personal Information Act 1998.

Personal information provided to RIKLAN will be used for the purposes of:

The Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard (AVETMISS) reporting;
Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) audits and reporting; and
General training administration.

Students personal information will not be used for any purpose outside the Privacy Act guidelines by RIKLAN.

Third Party Providers

RIKLAN Third Party Providers are organisations that provide training under the RIKLAN RTO No 51994. If the training program is conducted by a Third-Party Provider you will be advised upon enrolment.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

In accordance with the requirements of the Standards for RTO’s 2015, RIKLAN provides the opportunity for students to apply to have prior learning recognised towards a qualification or unit/s of competency for which they are enrolled.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the acknowledgement of skills and knowledge obtained through learning achieved outside the formal education and training system and includes work and life experience including paid and volunteer work and skills attained through leisure pursuits.

RPL is an assessment process for applicants to get their existing skills, knowledge and experience (formal, non-formal and informal learning) recognised, without having to attend training or do further study.

RPL recognises any prior knowledge and experience and measures it against the qualification/unit of competency in which students are enrolled. The applicant may not need to complete all of a training program if he or she already possesses some of the competencies taught in the program.

Formal learning is the learning that takes place through a structured program of learning that leads to the full or partial achievement of an officially accredited qualification/unit of competency.

Non-formal learning refers to learning that takes place through a structured program of learning but does not lead to an officially accredited qualification.

Informal learning is learning gained through work, social, family, hobby or leisure activities and experiences. Unlike formal or non-formal learning, informal learning is not organised or externally structured in terms of objectives, time or learning support.

Should you wish to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Please contact the RIKLAN office on 1800 793 877 or email rto@riklan.com.au.

Recognition of Current Competencies (RCC) AND CREDIT TRANSFER

As an RTO, RIKLAN accepts and provides credit to students for units of competency and/or modules (unless licensing or regulatory requirements prevent this), where these are evidenced by:

AQF certification documentation issued by any other RTO or AQF authorised issuing organisation; or
Authenticated VET transcripts issued by the Registrar.

RIKLAN is committed to supporting RCC and credit transfer enquiries and requests from prospective and enrolled students.

Please note, RIKLAN is not obliged to issue a qualification or statement of attainment that is achieved wholly through recognition of units and/or modules completed at another RTO.

Please note: RCC and Credit Transfer are a recognition process and as such they DO NOT involve assessment.

Should you wish to apply for RCC and Credit Transfer, please contact the RIKLAN office on 1800 793 877 or email rto@riklan.com.au.

VERIFICATION OF COMPETENCY

RIKLAN is committed to ensuring individuals have the required skills and knowledge to carry out their roles, responsibilities and duties in their current job. It is no longer acceptable for employers to “assume an employee is competent” which makes Verification of Competency assessment a key process for pre-employment competency checks in order for employees to demonstrate competence to complete certain tasks or skills with a required level of proficiency.

A Verification of Competency is NOT training and assessment. To undertake a Verification of Competency, employees must provide their relevant License or Statement of Attainment prior to assessment.

Verification of Competency will ensure that individuals will meet and be compliant with Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) obligations by being aware of any changes that may have occurred within the industry and provides them with the opportunity to confirm that their skills and knowledge remain within the expected standard to perform tasks or to operate plant and/or equipment.

Assessment Arrangements

STUDENT Identification Check

Prior to commencing a training program or undertaking any assessments, e.g. VOC, the student must provide photo identification, e.g. driver’s licence or another acceptable form of photo identification. For classroom assessment arrangements, the identification usually takes place at the commencement of the training program or assessment and is shown to the Trainer/Assessor who ticks that it has been sighted in the Student Assessment Booklet.

Failure to produce an acceptable form of identification will result in re-scheduling of the training program or assessment and cancellation fees may be applied.

STUDENT Assessment BOOKLET

The Student Assessment Booklet is the “what, when and how” of the assessment process. It prepares the student for the assessment activities and outlines any additional assistance that may be required in order to undertake the performance and knowledge assessment tasks.

The Student Assessment Booklet will include the following information and students are required to read and sign (where indicated) the following:

The unit/s of competency covered in the training program;
Date/s of assessment;
Privacy notice;
Student Declaration and Consent;
Conditions for Written and Practical Assessments;
Special Needs/Reasonable Adjustment to Assessment;
Written Assessment;
Assessment methods;
Assessment results and any Assessor feedback (if required);

COMPETENCY BASED TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT

Competency based training is an approach to vocational education and training that places emphasis on what a person can do in the workplace as a result of completing a training program. Assessment is the process of collecting evidence and making judgments on whether competency has been achieved.

Qualifications and Units of Competency can be found on the training.gov.au website and have a number of requirements:

Recently updated Units of Competency have the following assessment requirements:

Elements and Performance Criteria;
Foundations Skills;
Range of Conditions;
Performance Evidence; and
Knowledge Evidence

Older Units of Competency have the following assessment requirements:

Elements and Performance Criteria;
Required Skills;
Required Knowledge;
Critical Aspects for Assessment; and
Range of Conditions.

To be assessed as competent, the student will need to demonstrate the following:

Ability to perform tasks and duties to the standard expected in the workplace;
Be assessed against the entire unit/s of competency;
Be assessed over a period of time (during the training program) and/or a range of scenarios;
Demonstrate each skill and knowledge successfully.

The final outcome for achieving competency for a Unit of Competency is marked as Competent (C) and for NOT achieving competency is marked as Not Yet Competent (NYC).

Re-assessment

If you are deemed Not Yet Competent (NYC) at the completion of your training program, the Trainer/Assessor will provide information on how to arrange a re-assessment which may incur an additional fee.

Foundation Skills

Foundation skills are core or essential skills we all need to engage successfully in work and life. The term ‘Foundation Skills’ include:

Core skills such as: reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy and learning; and
Employability skills critical for effective performance in the workplace such as: communication, team work, problem solving, initiative and enterprise, planning and organising, self-management, learning and technology.

Foundation skills underpin vocational learning and skills development of each student. Foundations skills are embedded in the Units of Competency.

Provision of Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN)

Language, literacy and numeracy skills are critical to almost all areas of work. This is particularly true in many vocations where language, literacy and numeracy skills influence the performance of workplace tasks such as measuring, weighing and comprehending written work instructions.

To support this approach RIKLAN will:

Require online enrolments to complete a declaration confirming their language, literacy and numeracy skills. This will be reviewed during the enrolment process to ensure prospective students have adequate skills to complete the training.
Confirm with students before their training commences of their LLN capabilities and record against their enrolment in RTO Data.
On the first day of training students will then complete a LLN self-assessment to highlight areas of difficulties with language, comprehension or numeracy which assist in identifying potential issues and provide a basis to discuss how best the Trainer/Assessor may assist you with your learning.
The Trainer/Assessor will review and assess if the student requires assistance and will support students during their study with training and assessment materials so that they are easily understood and suitable to the level of the skills being delivered.
Refer students to external language, literacy and numeracy support services (TAFEWA) who are beyond the support available within RIKLAN.
Negotiate an extension of time to complete training programs if necessary.

This support refers to flexibility in assessment approaches to account for individual learning needs, while still adhering to the assessment requirements of the relevant training package or VET accredited training program. Whilst reasonable adjustments can be made in terms of the way in which evidence of performance is gathered, the evidence criteria for making competent/not yet competent decisions will not be altered in any way.

Please note that in some Training Packages, WorkSafe Licence training for example, the assessment is closed book and must be completed without assistance.

11.0 ACCESS AND EQUITY

RIKLAN is committed to ensuring the company’s training programs and services are responsive to the diverse needs of all clients/students. RIKLAN will comply with the principles of access and equity and aims to ensure that no student or prospective student be disadvantaged or discriminated against on the basis of:

Race and/or culture;
Language;
Sex/Gender bias;
Religion;
Women in non-traditional trades;
Pregnancy;
Sexuality;
Age;
Students from remote/rural locations;
Physical impairment;
Intellectual impairment;
Marital status; or
Any other barrier that may impede a student’s opportunity to complete training programs.

We are confident that the eligibility criteria and processes for selection to our training programs are as clear and fair as possible so clients/students from any of the above groups are able to access our services.

Students with particular needs can undertake alternative learning and assessment strategies where this is permitted under the relevant Training Package. Variations may include:

Undertake assessments verbally where there is difficulty writing in English.
Special arrangements for students with a physical impairment.
Special arrangements for students with learning difficulties.
Any other arrangements should be discussed with the Trainer/Assessor directly.

12.0 Certification

A Statement of Attainment or Qualification will be issued upon:

Successful completion of the training program.
Receipt of the student’s validated USI number; and
Full payment of training program fees.

Students are required to demonstrate “competency” at the completion of each assessment, e.g. written assessment. Competency will be assessed by observation of practical demonstrations, written and verbal questions or a combination of both. Students will be assessed as either “S” Satisfactory or “NS” Not Satisfactory in relation to the various assessments of a unit of competency. If a student completes all sections with “S” Satisfactory, they will be deemed “C” Competent.

Should a student be found “NS” Not Satisfactory on the completion of the various assessments, the Trainer/Assessor will provide additional mentoring/training, but if the student cannot demonstrate competency in one or more assessments, they will be deemed “NYC” Not Yet Competent.

Successful completion of a short training program (minimum of one unit of competency) or incomplete qualification will result in the issuance of a Statement of Attainment only.

A Qualification will be issued for successful completion of all training program requirements associated with a qualification. A Qualification is accompanied by a Record of Results document which lists all units of competency associated with the qualification.

Replacement of Certification/Cards

Any request for additional copies of certification will attract a $22.00 re-print fee. Replacement cards are charged at $16.50 per card. Please contact our office for more details.

Complaint and Appeals Process

RIKLAN has a fair and equitable process for resolving disputes, complaints and appeals. If a person wishes to appeal an assessment outcome of have a complaint pertaining to their training experience, they have a right to do so under the company’s Complaints and Appeals Policy and Procedure.

If the complaint is about the Trainer/Assessor then it should be to the Operations Manager and/or CEO.
If the complaint is about another student or resources then it should be to the Trainer/Assessor of that training program.

If the complaint can be dealt with immediately, then it should be dealt with and the actions taken should be recorded on the Action Register.

If the complaint cannot be dealt with immediately, the complainant should be given a timescale for resolution of no more than ten (10) working days. The timescale given to the student must be recorded on the Action Register with the actions to be taken.

Once those actions have been reviewed and implemented, the complainant must be contacted either via a meeting or telephone call to confirm that the complainant is in agreement with the actions taken.

If the complainant is not satisfied with the completed handling process by RIKLAN, the CEO of RIKLAN will request a meeting to identify how the matter can be resolved. The complainant is entitled to bring a representative along with them. Minutes of this meeting will be recorded and detailed recorded on the RTO database.

If a resolution to the complaint cannot be reached at this meeting then the complainant will be given details of the ASQA complaints handling process. RIKLAN aim to do all they can be resolve complaints before this stage is reached.

Appeals of assessment decisions are not able to be referred to the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) and are to be determined by an approved independent body.

PLAGIARISM POLICY

RIKLAN is committed to ensuring a great learning experience for its students. It aims to provide a learning environment that fosters the qualities of independent learning and academic integrity.

This policy seeks to encourage ethical conduct and to inform personnel and students about the RIKLAN standards of academic behaviour. Students have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity in their work. Students must not cheat in assessment and must ensure that they do not plagiarise.

Plagiarism is the act of misrepresenting as one’s own original work the ideas, interpretations, words or creative works of another. These include published and unpublished documents, designs, music, sounds, images, photographs, computer codes and ideas gained through working in a group. These ideas, interpretations, words or works may be found in print and/or electronic media[1].

One of the core functions of RIKLAN is to develop student’s ability to apply critical reasoning to assessment activities through independent thought and to make decisions that reflect the student’s considerations of the task or workplace requirement.

RIKLAN acknowledges that to develop this ability, the student will study the work of others via issued textbooks, learning material or through their own research. However, it is important that students in their learning acknowledge, through appropriate referencing, earlier work from which they have drawn information.

Referencing demonstrates that the student has read the issued material or has undertaken their own research in other sources. Failure to reference appropriately is considered unethical academic behaviour and will result in a student’s work not being accepted.

Students should understand that assignment and project work submitted for assessment must consist of original effort. It is insufficient to simply copy work from other sources and submit it, even if those sources are appropriately acknowledged. Work submitted by a student must have an original component.

Student Services and Support

RIKLAN will identify the need, offer access and information about Education and Support Services to students. RIKLAN will identify the student’s education and support needs by:

Requesting that the student complete a declaration that you have received sufficient information to make a judgement about a training program that meets your individual nee
Informing RIKLAN Trainers/Assessors of your needs prior to training program commencemen
Discuss the need for support in consultation with a RIKLAN Trainer/ Assessor.
