Overview of Assessment
Students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a particular unit of competency to be deemed competent. Students are advised that they will be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.
Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievements of each competency. Assessments will incorporate a variety of methods: direct questioning combined with a review of portfolios of evidence, review of authenticated documents from the training environment and demonstration of techniques.
In addition to the assessments, formative feedback is provided to the students throughout the duration of the course.
Assessment Tasks
Domestic Travel Project - Virtual Enterprise Australia (VEA) Client (Due Week 15 40%)
Students will organise a business itinerary (domestic travel) for their VE Manager to attend the VEA International Trade Fair to be held in Brisbane from 26 - 28 January 2011 hosted by the Brisbane North Institute of TAFE.
Overseas Travel Project - Role Play and Travel Portfolio (Due Week 17 60%)
In a small group of THREE, students will create an overseas travel plan that will include preparation of all travel documentation and full budget for the business trip. They will allocate team roles and delegate project tasks equally to successfully present the compiled travel portfolio in hard copy format in a role play business meeting with their client in Week 17 (the teacher will take on the role of the client).

Other Information
Special Consideration
Special consideration allows the University to take account of unexpected circumstances that can affect your ability to complete an assessment. Examples of unexpected or extenuating circumstances for eligibility may include:
• Serious illness with a significant impact e.g. hospital admission, concussion, serious injury, asthma attack or depression. It does not include illnesses with minor impact such as a cold, headache, period pain or stomach ache.
• Loss or bereavement e.g. death of a close family member, family/relationship breakdown.
• Hardship or trauma e.g. victim of serious crime, sudden loss of income or employment, severe unexpected disruption to domestic arrangements.
How to apply
You must apply for special consideration no later than two working days after the relevant examination or assessment deadline. You must complete the Special Consideration Application form available at www.rmit.edu.au/students/forms and lodge the original and one photocopy at the Hub on your campus. You can also lodge the application and supporting documentation via fax to tel. 9925 8845 or send scanned copies via email to special.consideration@rmit.edu.au.
Please note that in 2010 it is anticipated that applications for special consideration will move to an online process. More information about this new process will be available at www.rmit.edu.au/students/specialconsideration.
Your application must be supported by a medical impact statement and/or relevant supporting documentation. A medical certificate alone is not sufficient. If you cannot obtain the impact statement or supporting documents within two days, you should lodge an incomplete application form and provide the additional documents within five business day.
Late applications can only be accepted in extenuating circumstances and their submission requires the approval of the Academic Registrar.
Assessment of applications
All special consideration applications are considered by a panel of health and academic experts, convened by the Academic Registrar. All communication about your application will be through your RMIT student email account. It is your responsibility to check your RMIT student email account regularly, promptly respond to any requests for information or action and ensure your account can receive incoming emails.
Extensions of time for submission of assessment – seven days or fewer
If you are seeking an extension of seven calendar days or fewer from the original due date you must meet certain eligibility criteria (similar to special consideration) and complete an Application for Extension of Time for Submission of Assessable Work form and lodge it with the School. Forms are available at www.rmit.edu.au/students/forms.
Arrangements for lodging forms can vary according to individual school procedures. It is your responsibility, as the applicant, to check whether the form should be lodged with the school administrative officer, the course coordinator or program coordinator. Except in exceptional circumstances the application must be lodged no later than one working day before the official due date.
