If you are unable to complete the course due to illness or extenuating circumstances, AAMC may negotiate a course extension. In the instance that the course is superseded by the industry regulator, AAMC Training will work to assist you to complete the required work prior to the teach-out period or offer a transfer to the equivalent new course (if equivalent).
AAMC Training requires a minimum of five (5) students for delivery courses of their courses. Should there be less than five (5) students enrolled, the course may be cancelled and you may transfer to an alternative course date or receive a full/partial refund of fees, subject to the above conditions.
Should AAMC Training be unable to continue delivering a qualification course, they will arrange for any eligible student i.e. has not withdrawn from the course or has not completed their study to be offered enrolment in a course leading to the same, or a comparable, qualification with minimum disruption to their studies. If this option is available then a refund of the unused portions of their paid tuition fees as required under National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 Schedule 6 and Clause 7.3 of Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015 or equivalent cannot be found for registered RTOs).
The above is subject to the following:
- the course not commencing;
- the course ceasing to be provided after it has started; or
- the full course not being delivered because a sanction has been imposed on the provider
When a student is relocated, the VET provider receiving the student will make no additional tuition charge for the portion of the course for which the former VET provider has received payment.
If you are unable to commence the requested workshop, you may transfer to another available course date. These requests must be made at least seven (7) days prior to the course commencement. You may not transfer your enrolment to another student. Online students may upgrade to virtual interactive classroom training for an additional fee. You are not permitted to transfer to a different qualification course once your selected course has commenced.
Assessments applicable to your chosen course may include; role plays, case studies, research projects and knowledge questions.
All assessment uploads include a declaration saying that the work and evidence you are submitting is completely your own. This is a binding legal statement, so if it is found that a student has used an outside source (paid or otherwise) to either complete or over-collaborate on their assessments, this will be classified as cheating or plagiarism.
Throughout the duration of the course, assessment support will be provided. However, prior to contacting student support, it is expected that you will have thoroughly read your learner guide and additional resources.
Outcomes of assessment will be advised by AAMC Training within 10 business days of receipt of the submission. If an assessment needs resubmission, your assessor will provide feedback of further information required. You will have up to three (3) resubmission opportunities without charge. All communication will be via email and the member area.
Plagiarism means to copy information and research from another source and present it as your own work. Some examples of plagiarism and excessive collaboration may include, but not limited to:
- Submitting someone else’s assessment as your own
- Submitting an author’s work without proper referencing/acknowledgement
- Allowing someone else to submit your work as theirs
- Submitting the same responses - your work should be your own and show differences, even when working with other students
If evidence of plagiarism and/or excessive collaboration is established, you will be contacted and advised of the concerns with your submitted work and given an opportunity to respond and/or resubmit. An additional re-assessing fee may be incurred, please see Fees Information. If deemed a sufficiently serious breach, your enrolment may be terminated, for which all fees paid are forfeited and non-refundable.
