Elements of Assessment
The elements of each activity in this workbook need to be undertaken, completed, and returned to HBA electronically for assessment. Any additional information or evidence supplied by the learner to support their assessments should be returned with this workbook.
In undertaking an activity in this workbook you will be asked to:
Answer questions;
Conduct research;
Complete templates
NOTE:
Some activities may require you to undertake internet or other research. This research assists in meeting competency requirements and in completing assigned activities.
This workbook:
The Learner Guide has been designed to provide you with ample amount of background information to assist you with understanding each Unit of Competency. Use the Learner Guide, the Learner Resources Folder and conduct some additional research to formulate your answers.
It is essential that your answer addresses all components of the question adequately, simply copying and pasting content that more or less answers the question is not appropriate. You can copy and paste content from other sources, but you must modify/paraphrase it to meet the question requirements and demonstrate your understanding of key concepts, ideas and models.
Provide a response to each question/request in the left hand column of the table below. Your responses should be entered into the adjacent area in the right hand column. Answers need to contain enough information and detail to demonstrate a sound understanding of the area/s the question relates to.
It is not acceptable to use the example provided for you under the question in your own response.
Tips:
Read the questions to ensure you are providing what has been asked for.
Answers do not need to be overly expansive, but they do need to have sufficient information to clearly answer the question and demonstrate your understanding
Where simulation has taken place to complete an activity, please ensure all components of the activity have been completed i.e. simulated learner, must include name, address, etc. of the simulated learner

Workbooks will only be assessed when all activities have been completed. Where a Workbook is submitted with activities not complete, this is a formal submission and you will be deemed Not Satisfactory, with 2 submission attempts remaining.
Upon submission, learners will receive an automated response, detailing assessment timeframe. Feedback will be provided by email within 14 business days from receipt of the workbook. Assessors will provide clear and specific feedback where resubmission is required. Where resubmission is not required, assessors will advise Learners, they have satisfactorily completed the workbook.
Learners have three (3) attempts at each assessment before alternative learning options are considered. This will be completed on a case by case basis by a member of the Compliance team.
HBA Learning Centres provides all assessors with assessment benchmark guides, to assist with the assessing of workbooks. HBA Learning Centres assessors have also been instructed to use their professional judgement as an assessor and from industry currency and experience, to allow for reasonable adjustment and flexibility when assessing holistically.
NOTE:
Intensive delivery learners please ensure you submit your completed workbooks and any supporting evidence to your trainer, you will be provided their email address during the course.

Activity 2.3 Conducting Interview
Conducting an audit interview can be broken down into several different steps – each step does not necessarily need to last long, but they are important for a successful interview where you gain the information you are looking for.
Using the case study, SSS RTO, outline in the template below, how and why you would conduct an interview with the chosen employee during an audit. Detailing how you would conduct the following steps on an interview for the purpose of an audit. Including, questions you may ask the employee to gain the required information.
Audit Interview with Employee
Employee Name:
Henry Hogan
Date:
20 August 2019
Time:
9am-10.30am
Employee Position:
HR Manager

Briefing interviewee
Background of The A Team Auditors, experience.
Background information
Experience, case studies of previous audits, open floor to any questions SSS might have, gain knowledge and feedback, brief timeline of events proceeding.
Questions
Closed: Can you please show me your complete induction records?
Open Question: Who has access to your induction records?
Probing: How do you track completions?
Challenging: I’ve noticed the record you’ve supplied is not complete. Do you have another process to document each staff member’s induction?
Summarisation & clarification
Reflection: So what I’m hearing is that staff members are completing their induction process however the documentation is not being completed to reflect this?
Hypothetical: So if a staff member has an injury in the workplace in a controlled area how can you provide evidence to Work Safe to demonstrate the staff member knew that it was a controlled area and they understood their responsibilities?
Closing of interview
Please feel free to approach me at any time during or after the audit, should new information come to light or you have any concerns or queries regarding the audit.

Activity 2.5 Use Appropriate Checklists/Tools to Conduct a Quality Audit

Assess, using an impact scale rating, the impact or consequence if a non-conformance is not rectified
