date) a draft copy of your assessment should be discussed during class time in consultation with your Trainer/Assessor. For
this feedback/ support from your Trainer/Assessor, you will need to bring to class your “draft copy” with any evidence of the
research you have conducted to produce the assessment.
Central College accommodates students with reasonable adjustments to training and assessment. This could include variations
in course delivery or assessment methodology and it is the responsibility of Trainers/Assessors to coordinate this in
consultation with the Academic/Compliance Coordinator or Trainer Coordinator. When making reasonable adjustments to
