Assessment Marking Policy 

At Pilates ITC, we’re committed to maintaining high standards in assessment and marking. This policy ensures all assessments are fair, consistent, and transparent, supporting you in achieving competency while meeting the requirements of the Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) system, the Standards for RTOs 2025, and ASQA guidelines.

• Competency-Based Assessment: A system that measures whether you can demonstrate the required skills and knowledge for your qualification.

• Satisfactory (S): You’ve successfully demonstrated the required skills for a specific task or question.

• Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS): You haven’t yet demonstrated the required skills and may need to try again.

• Competent (C): You’ve met all requirements for a unit of competency.

• Not Yet Competent (NYC): You haven’t yet met all requirements for a unit and may need further attempts.

• International Students: Students joining from outside Australia whose qualifications are nationally recognised. We recommend that international students have English proficiency equivalent to tests like IELTS or TOEFL to ensure they can confidently engage with course materials and assessments.

This policy applies to:

• All Pilates ITC students (Australian and international) enrolled in Diploma and Advanced Diploma qualifications or their non-accredited equivalents

• Educators and Assessors responsible for marking assessments

• Management and Affiliates overseeing compliance with assessment standards

We ensure that:

• You’re assessed against the Units of Competency outlined in your training package

• Marking is conducted using clear, consistent criteria

• You receive constructive feedback to support your learning and future attempts

• All assessment practices align with the Standards for RTOs 2025 and relevant legislation

Your assessments are designed to evaluate whether you can apply the skills and knowledge required in real-world Pilates instruction. You’ll receive one of the following outcomes:

• Initial Submission: You’ll submit your assessment via the LMS or as instructed.

• Resubmissions:

  • You’re permitted two resubmissions as part of your course fees

  • Additional submissions beyond this will incur a fee (refer to Fees Schedule)

• Practical Assessments:

  • May be reattempted either privately or digitally, and these sessions will attract an additional fee

• After each attempt, your assessor will provide written or verbal feedback

• Feedback will be provided in writing in a Student Outcome and is designed to be:

  • Timely – so you can stay on track

  • Constructive – offering clear guidance for improvement

  • Supportive – helping you reach competency confidently

• You may also be referred to additional resources or study guidance as needed

Assessors are required to:

• Use approved marking criteria aligned with your training package

• Apply consistent and transparent grading practices across all submissions

• Provide feedback that encourages learning and progress
