  • Assessment evidence is authentic, solely being produced by the learner in question
  • The consistency of assessments decisions covering all assessors over time
  • Appeals are heard by individuals that have the appropriate competence to make decisions in each individual case and have had no prior involvement or a personal interest in the case.

Everyone has the right to appeal if they believe that their assessment decision or a decision following a malpractice or maladministration investigation is incorrect. This policy will define the stages and procedures you would need to follow, guidance is as follows:

  • The process you need to follow to submit an enquiry or appeal

Therefore, if a learner, client or partner wishes to enquire or appeal against an assessment decision they have clear guidance on how to proceed.

Firstly, we advise all learners to discuss any concerns or enquiries relating to the result of the assessment with the assessor to resolve the issue. If you are not satisfied with the outcome then please contact us for further advice and guidance or refer to the guide within this policy.

Stage 1: Enquiries Regarding Assessment Decisions

If a learner wishes to question an assessment result, they should initially discuss their concerns with the approved tutor/assessor. If the learner is not satisfied with the outcome, learners should contact us for further action.

TUONG KHOA Limited will appoint the relevant manager to act as an adjudicator who has not had any involvement with the case.

We do aim to provide this as soon as the outcome is available or within a maximum of 28 days.

How to Make a Complaint

Informal Process

We understand that most individuals who are not satisfied with products or service would like it addressed and dealt with as soon as possible, therefore an informal process would be far more appropriate.

An informal process will be more efficient resolving complaints quickly by mediating between who is responsible for the dissatisfaction and the complainant. The complaint may be resolved immediately following this process, so we encourage our clients and/or learners to contact us directly at 0768.494949 for an informal discussion if they have a complaint that needs to be resolved to achieve the desirable outcome.

If a complaint cannot be resolved informally then the formal complaints procedure should be followed. We may require further information from the complainant to ensure that we fully understand what the complaint is about. We will investigate accordingly to achieve the best outcome.

Formal Process

Stage 1

If the complainant is not satisfied with the outcome from the informal process, the dissatisfaction should be submitted in writing to TUONG KHOA Limited. Once we have received this information, we will send acknowledgement of receipt to the complainant within 7 working days and an investigation to resolve the dissatisfaction will commence.

TUONG KHOA Limited will identify an appropriate manager to review the complaint for further investigation and the complainant will be notified of the individual responsible for this. The member of management will conduct a further investigation in to the complaint, upon completion of the investigation they will communicate and notify the complainant and provide them with an explanation or resolution.

To ensure a fair and thorough process is followed the duration of the investigation will depend on the nature and severity of the complaint we receive at this stage, or the complexity of the response required. We do aim to provide this as soon as the outcome is available or within a maximum of 28 days of receiving the stage 1 complaint. In some cases, this may take longer to conclude the complaint with an outcome, in these instances the complainant will be notified of revised timescales.

If the complainant remains dissatisfied with the outcome from the manager’s investigation the next steps to pursue are stage 2 of the complaint’s procedure.

Stage 2

If the complainant is not satisfied with the outcome from the stage 1 complaints process, they are able to request a review of the complaint by a senior manager. This must take place within 14 days of the outcome of the original complaint and must be submitted in writing. The senior manager will determine if appropriate procedures were followed and the complaint was answered fully, if there is new evidence submitted in support of the complaint this will also be reviewed. Following review, we shall aim to notify the complainant in writing as soon as possible of the outcome, within a maximum of 28 days.

If the client or learner is not satisfied with the final response, they may then refer the complaint to the appropriate regulatory authority.

Monitoring and Review

TUONG KHOA Limited is committed to continual improvement. All complaints received by TUONG KHOA Limited are reviewed to prevent re-occurrence to improve the suitability and effectiveness of our policies and procedures and to contribute to the development of qualifications that are fit for purpose and meet individual needs.
