Complaints and Appeals

Students have access to 4 Up Skilling’s complaints and appeals process. The complaints and appeals policy and procedure ensures that fair and equitable processes are implemented for any complaints or appeals against the RTO.

Students are able to submit a formal complaint to 4 Up Skilling relating to any concern they may have (such as academic or attendance record decisions, should they feel a person has acted inappropriately or treated someone unfairly, etc). All complaints are handled with confidence and are reviewed by the Training Manager.

A student may also appeal a decision made by the RTO in regards to an assessment outcome. Where a student feels they have been unfairly judged and assessed on a specified task, project or assessment they may have the assessment reviewed by submitting an appeal form. Students must provide supporting evidence or explanations as to why they feel the assessment is unfair and why they should be given further opportunity to be assessed.

All students have access to the complaints and appeals policy and procedure and a copy can be retrieved on the RTO website at www.4upskilling.com.au at any time.
