Introduction
Prior to attempting this coursework assignment, Learners must familiarise themselves with the following policies:
Centre Specification

Qualifi Quality Assurance Standards
Qualifi Quality Policy Statement
Plagiarism and Collusion
In submitting the assignment Learners must complete a statement of authenticity confirming that the work submitted for all tasks is their
own. The statement should also include the word count.
Your accredited study centre will direct you to the appropriate software that checks the level of similarity. Qualifi recommends the use of
https://www.turnitin.com as a part of the assessment.
Plagiarism and collusion are treated very seriously. Plagiarism involves presenting work, excerpts, ideas or passages of another author without
appropriate referencing and attribution.
Collusion occurs when two or more learners submit work which is so alike in ideas, content, wording and/or structure that the similarity goes
beyond what might have been mere coincidence
Please familiarise yourself on Qualifis Malpractice and Maladministration policy, where you can find further information

Referencing
A professional approach to work is expected from all learners. Learners must therefore identify and acknowledge ALL
sources/methodologies/applications used.
The learner must use an appropriate referencing system to achieve this. Marks are not awarded for the use of English; however, the learner
must express ideas clearly and ensure that appropriate terminology is used to convey accuracy in meaning.
Qualifi recommends using Harvard Style of Referencing throughout your work.
Appendices
You may include appendices to support your work, however appendices must only contain additional supporting information, and must be
clearly referenced in your assignment.
You may also include tables, graphs, diagrams, Gantt chart and flowcharts that support the main report should be incorporated into the back
of the assignment report that is submitted.
Any published secondary information such as annual reports and company literature, should be referenced in the main text of the assignment,
in accordance of Harvard Style Referencing, and referenced at the end of the assignment.
Confidentiality
Where a Learner is using organisational information that deals with sensitive material or issues, they must seek the advice and permission
from that organisation about its inclusion.
Page 4 of 11
Where confidentiality is an issue, Learners are advised to anonymise their assignment report so that it cannot be attributed to that particular
organisation.
Word Count Policy
Learners must comply with the required word count, within a margin of +10%. These rules exclude the index, headings, tables, images,
footnotes, appendices and information contained within references and bibliographies.
When an assessment task requires learners to produce presentation slides with supporting notes, the word count applies to the supporting
notes only.
Submission of Assignments
All work to be submitted on the due date as per Centres advice.
All work must be submitted in a single electronic document (.doc file), or via Turnitin, where applicable.
This should go to the tutor and Centre Manager/Programme Director, plus one hard copy posted to the Centre Manager (if required)
Marking and grades
Qualifi uses a standard marking rubric for all assignments, and you can find the details at the end of this document.
