Workplace Training Limited strives to help create a learning environment that brings out the best in our learners. To achieve this, we need each learner to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Learners will behave in a manner that will not bring Workplace Training Limited into disrepute, during the hours of their training course.

2. Learners will put in a full effort into their course whether it seems immediately relevant to them or not.

3. It is the learner’s responsibility to catch up on any work missed due to any absence from training. Workplace Training Limited is only responsible for supplying any notes missed.

4. Workplace Training Limited is not responsible or liable for the loss of any learner’s belongings on campus.

5. All absences must be explained by a phone call or message at least 30 minutes prior to your course start time.

6. Smoking and/or vaping is not permitted at any time on our premises or adjacent buildings.

7. The following will be strictly enforced:

a. No violence or threats of violence

b. No drugs

c. No alcohol

d. No willful vandalism

e. No eating during training time

f. No mobiles/devices during training time

1. All use of computers and the internet must be related to your training programme. If you wish to download appropriate material you must gain permission from your trainer. Learner’s must not download material that is offensive, racist, pornographic or illegal.

2. If applicable, learner’s will be expected to complete a work experience component of the course they are enrolled in.

3. No reports or certificates will be issued or qualifications registered, until all outstanding fees have been paid in full.

4. Honesty is expected of all learners.

​

 

Dishonest Practices

Cheating, plagiarism and other dishonest academic practices have serious consequences and learners who fail to comply with acceptable behaviour will be subject to severe penalties, which may include a fail grade in their learner record, probation or suspensions from the programme. Learners will be required to pay and re-enrol to sit the unit/paper again.

​

​

Complaints

Workplace Training Limited believes that we have a responsibility to provide learners with a study environment which is physically safe, free from harassment of any kind, and conducive to the achievement of good learning outcomes. Our complaints policy is designed to provide a process that learners can follow if they wish to lodge a complaint, dispute or grievance. The policy allows for the complaint to be brought to the attention of the organisation. If this process fails to provide a remedy it provides a process for the complaint to be mediated by external organisations. 

 

Informal complaints

Examples of informal complaints might include the following:

• minor training room irritations (other learners break concentration by interruption etc).

• concerns arising from miscommunication or misunderstanding.

• minor disagreements over academic matters and/or resource issues.

• facilities or workplace issues.

​​

Informal complaints are usually made verbally to your trainer/supervisor/facilitator, who should interview the person in private, allowing a support person to come if requested. The trainer will evaluate the nature and seriousness of the complaint, resolve it at the time if possible or refer it on to the Academy Manager. If the complaint is about one or more other people they should initially be interviewed separately.

 

Resolution will be determined when the complainant expresses satisfaction with the outcome, or verbally accepts the trainer’s actions. If the actions are not accepted the learner has the option to an outside authority and it then becomes a formal complaint.

​

Formal complaints

Anyone wishing to make a formal complaint should put it in writing and submit it to the Academy Manager. The complainant has the right to a support person throughout the process until it is resolved.

 

If a complaint is about another person, that person must be given an opportunity to respond to it.

 

A written record will be kept in the central filing system of the complaint, the meeting(s), the steps taken to achieve a resolution and an outcome statement.

 

The Academy Manager will produce the outcome statement which should be signed by the complainant, the Academy Manager and any other affected parties.

 

If the complaint is not resolved to the complainant’s satisfaction, they will be advised of their right to go to an appropriate external authority.

 

If learners are not satisfied with the outcome of the formal complaint, they can consider complaining to NZQA. To contact NZQA learners can ring (04) 463 3000.

​

Confidentiality

The disputes process, and any information collected during it, is confidential. If a party to the dispute chooses to invalidate the complaints process by discussing the complaint outside of this process, the protection of their confidentiality will be considered redundant.

​

​

Assessment Policies and Procedures​

Learners must follow all requests and rules regarding conduct for assessments, assignments and examinations. Failure to do so, plagiarism or cheating of any kind, may make the results invalid and could lead to disciplinary action including dismissal.

 

All learners are expected to co-operate with requests made by trainers/supervisors/facilitators.

 

Plagiarism means using the work of others in preparing an assignment and presenting it as your own, without explicitly acknowledging – or referencing – where it came from. Plagiarism also includes paraphrasing another person’s work without attribution, and failure to acknowledge the full extent of indebtedness to a source.

 

Submitting someone else’s un-attributed or less than fully attributed work or ideas is not evidence of your own grasp of the material, and cannot earn you marks.

 

Work can be plagiarised from many sources – including books, articles, the internet, and other learners’ assignments. Plagiarism can also sometimes occur unconsciously or inadvertently. Direct copying all or part of the work of others; allowing all or part of your own work to be copied; collaborating together in preparing all or part of an assignment; and other similar activities are all forms of plagiarism.

​

 

Learner Welfare and Support

Learners who are having any difficulties should feel free to discuss their concerns with the team member they feel most comfortable talking to, including their Trainer. It is our hope to assist all learners as much as possible, so that the learner can enjoy and benefit from their studies at Workplace Training Limited.

 

Workplace Training Limited team members are available on site to offer guidance and support to learners relating to both academic progress and other issues learners wish to discuss. Learners may also raise concerns with their Trainer. Referral to outside agencies for specialist support will be arranged where appropriate.

 

Trainers provide learning assistance on a one-to one, or one to small group, for learners requiring help in literacy or numeracy, relevant to their course.

 

Specific help related to the course is given when the need arises or is requested. All trainers make themselves available for extra assistance, within reason.
