Privacy
RAISE Training is committed to the Australian privacy legislation in the way it collects, uses, secures, and discloses personal information.
Complaints
Our complaints and appeals policy enables learners and clients to be informed of and understand their rights and includes a mechanism for them to be acknowledged and dealt with fairly, efficiently, and effectively.
Assessment
Validity
A true test, meeting the standards from the training package as well as industry requirements.
Reliability
Ensuring that assessments are conducted consistently with different groups or individuals to reflect a common standard.
Flexibility
Adjustments are allowed, taking into account the varying situations and circumstances of learners, but maintaining a consistent standard.
Fairness
Making allowances to ensure assessment is equitable and overcoming any disadvantage learners might have in relation to disabilities, language and literacy or capacity to apply what they are learning.
Our policy also includes a requirement that learners are provided with clear, concise directions for assessment and recording of results.
Learners are not guaranteed a successful completion, but we set out to work as efficiently as possible, without cutting corners or compromising the integrity of the assessment. Experience has shown that learners prefer an intensive assessment strategy, and we set out to deliver that. However, some learners do benefit from having their training hours delivered over multiple sessions, which minimises fatigue, and can make the course content easier to digest.
We do not want dissatisfied customers, we want to leave customers with a pleasant and rewarding experience. Everyone at RAISE Training sleeps well at night knowing that all our learners have been given a fair go, and have been trained and assessed to the highest standard.
Skills Recognition
RAISE Training ensures that information on Skills Recognition is made available to all clients. RAISE Training will recognise qualifications of a client and apply them to the competency being attempted with the aim of reducing the training time and the duplication of training/assessment.
An application can be made for any of the above when a learner believes that they have already attained the necessary skills and competencies elsewhere (work experience, other study etc.).
For heavy vehicle lcensing, the NSW Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) has developed a specific training and assessment tool for individuals who already feel that they have achieved the required competency to undergo the mandatory assessment for which RAISE Training will be assessing against their prior knowledge.
This is called a Competency Test (CT) where RAISE Training will be conducting assessments only.
Refunds
RAISE Training has a policy of providing refund of fees to clients who have enrolled in an Accredited Training Program or Course with RAISE Training and to safeguarding those fees as appropriate until a request and appropriate assessment has been made of their full or partial refund.
