Our Policies (RTO Policies)

Fee Payment Policy

Course fees and student contribution amounts for the duration of your studies are advised prior to the commencement of any course of study. Should you exceed the agreed course duration, a course duration extension fee will apply. You can access our current Fee Schedule on our website.

You will be issued an invoice for all fees relating to your enrolment. Fees will be payable using one of the following instalment methods:

-Paying the full course fees up front

-Paying an agreed fee on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis via direct debit until the course fees are covered in full

-Paying Installments at predetermined times throughout the completion of the course

For any payment plan an agreement between Rose Training Australia nominated third party and the student will be put in place as part of the enrolment process.

Prepaid fees statement:

The Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015:

7.3 Where the RTO requires, either directly or through a third party, a prospective or current learner to prepay fees in excess of a total of $1500 (being the threshold prepaid fee amount), the RTO must meet the requirements set out in the Requirements for Fee Protection in Schedule 6.

We accept the commercial definition of prepaid as being payment for services not yet received.  Recruitment and enrolment are part of services already received and upon payment of fees students are given full access to all course material.  With these considerations Rose Training Australia has calculated that when considering current courses being offered and current pricing, at no time has the student prepaid more than the allowable limit.

-explain that they are your trainers and that they will be able to assist you with any queries you have and will have weekly contact with you.

-explain that for the duration of the course they will be assisting you to complete the theory aspect of you training and assist with any questions or issues you might encounter.

-let you know their contact information and how to contact them (chat, mobile number, email/text messages)

-explain that you will receive weekly study support sessions to assist with your theory assessments and discuss your progression, this is a requirement for the course.

-agree on the best day/time to schedule your weekly study support session.

-ask some questions to get to know you such as:

–have you participated in any form of studies recently and if so what the course was?

–are you currently working at all?

–do you have reliable access to the internet and if not, discuss what other avenues can you use to access the Internet – e.g. Library, Campus Job Services Australia etc.

–Confirm with student they have received login details for Student Portal.

-discuss classes and confirm your availability for the next scheduled class (or arrange an individual meeting if required).

-Give you the opportunity to ask any questions

Training Resources – Student Portal

The Student Portal is where you will find all the resources and materials you will need to enable you to complete your assessment and units of study.

It is also where you will be able to ‘chat’ to your trainer/s.

You will receive and email with your password to access the Student Portal as well as a user guide to help you navigate your way around.

Study Support Sessions

When you receive contact from your trainer/s, you will agree on the best time to schedule your support session.

Your trainer/s will contact you at the agreed time either by phone, Skype, face-to-face or chat. You can also contact your trainer/s via phone, email or chat at any other time that you need assistance.

During your session your trainer/s will be able to help you with any questions you may have regarding the course materials or assessments. They will assess your progress and let you know how you are progressing in line with your agreed timeframe as outlined at enrolment (Course Fees and Enrolment Agreement).

These sessions are an important part of your training and you are required to take part as a condition of your enrolment.

If you are not able to attend a scheduled study support session please let your trainer/s know in advance.

Undertake Assessments

Assessment is the process of collecting evidence and making judgements as to whether competency has been achieved by each Student against the required performance criteria of a unit.

Assessment for each Learning Unit involves the use of a range of assessment methods, enabling the collection of evidence on which to assess whether a Student can perform competently and/or demonstrate the application of required knowledge after the given period of training.

To be awarded a qualification, you must satisfactorily complete all Assessments for all Units that are a mandatory part of that course.

You will be provided with full details of the assessment requirements and the process that will be used. You will be given sufficient time to enable you to prepare for and properly complete for the assessment.

Assessments must be completed within the agreed timeframe to ensure that you are progressing towards the completion of your qualification in a timely manner.

Assessment Methods

Assessment methods may be selected from the following range:

-Observation: Observation of someone performing a task or producing a product in accordance with a standardised performance criteria checklist benchmarked against the endorsed national industry standards. Observation is referred to as the act of gathering ‘direct’ evidence.

-Practical exercise (project) or task: The participant undertakes a task or exercise that demonstrates competency performed against the specified criteria, e.g. risk assessment or safety audit.

-Simulation/Role Play/Case Study: Simulations of workplace activities to gauge performance, e.g. emergency response.

-Knowledge Based Tests (written and/or oral questioning): Should be weighted at no more than 50% of the total assessment – for checking underpinning knowledge, problem solving and ability to identify similar situations for successful skills transfer and application. This method supplements other methods of assessment and is used to supplement more creditable work-task performance assessment methods.

-Portfolio: Provision of a collection of evidence and samples that prove competence against the specified criteria. This is particularly useful in a skills recognition process.

-Report: Used on or off the job to provide evidence of understanding in a particular context. Reports should be combined with oral or written questioning to validate understanding and authenticity of each participant’s work.

Submit Assessments

Students are encouraged to have their assessments completed and submitted in-line with the dates discussed and agreed upon at enrolment.

-In each unit/stage/cluster the student will complete a number of items of assessment that will be used to assess their level of achievement in this particular subject.

–In some cases, assessment items may need to be submitted in varying formats or file types (for example Word.doc, Video, MP3 format, Photos etc.), these can be attached and uploaded through the submission facility.

–Assessment submissions have been limited to 3 attempts per assessment, if your initial submission is deemed as incomplete or not yet satisfactory it will be returned to you along with your Assessment Feedback Form that outlines any areas that need further attention. If a student is not yet satisfactory in any learning outcome within the unit after 3 submissions a meeting will be arranged to discuss strategies to help you achieve competence in the areas identified.

–Hard Copy Assessments should be posted to Suite 17C/455 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006, for the attention of your trainer or handed directly to your trainer. Students are required to obtain a receipt of postage from their preferred courier/postal service as proof of postage in case the item is not received. It is the student’s responsibility to create and keep a scan/photocopy of all assessments prior to submission.

Student Assessment Submission Forms

All assessments will need to be submitted using our Online Student Portal submission facility. This can be found at www.rosetrainingonline.com.au

For any hard copy assessments – a cover-sheet will be located at the back of the assessment workbook or an online cover sheet can be submitted.

For soft copy assessments submitted through the online submission facility (rosetrainingonline.com.au) a mandatory assessment cover-sheet will be completed during the submission process.

Assessment items submitted without a cover sheet which includes a student declaration will not be marked by an assessor until a:

-cover sheet is provided, this is provided online in the form of a Student Declaration.

-Students are responsible for ensuring they complete all sections of the Student Assessment Submission Form ensuring that they have signed and dated the Student Declaration.

-Where multiple files / assessment pieces exist, the student will need to ensure that each assessment item being submitted is listed within or attached to a signed and dated cover sheet.

-To safeguard against accidental loss of assignments, it is recommended that Students keep a copy of each assignment either soft copy (on computer) or a hard copy. In the event of loss occurring, the Student will be required to submit a new copy of the assignment concerned.

Cheating and Plagiarism – Student Declaration

Cheating is an attempt to benefit from another person’s work in order to achieve an outcome, for which the student has not produced the required work. Plagiarism is taking another person’s work/idea and representing it as the student’s own. This may result from deliberate and intentional copying of information.

Plagiarism may also be accidental and arise from a lack of knowledge or awareness. Sources which can be used for plagiarism include social media, books, magazines, TV, radio, newspapers, internet sites, photos, recordings, etc.

Cheating and plagiarism in any form is unacceptable and will be treated as an extremely serious matter. We have a duty to ensure that all participants in training courses understand what constitutes cheating and plagiarism, and to minimise the opportunity for this to happen

If you are found to have breached the cheating and plagiarism policy, you will be advised and provided with an opportunity to respond. You also may be asked to resubmit your work. Depending on the severity of the breach you may receive an automatic fail for that task/unit/course as relevant and may also be requested to leave the course.

Learn more about Plagiarism, Copyright, Academic Integrity policies.

Assessment Feedback
