Complaints and Appeals
Benchmark College is committed to developing and maintaining a timely, fair and equitable system for Complaints and Appeals which is easily accessible and offered to students/clients at no charge.
Wherever possible, students, clients and staff are encouraged to resolve concerns or difficulties directly with the person(s) concerned. There are trainers, administrative staff and management staff available to assist you in resolving issues at this level. If the issue is not resolved, a formal complaint or appeal can be lodged. For more information about complaints, please refer to our Complaints and Appeals Policy & Procedures, available from here.
An appeal procedure is available to students who believe the assessment process or any assessment event was inappropriately or ineffectively carried out and therefore resulted in an inappropriate assessment or decision being made. For more information about appeals, please refer to our Complaints and Appeals Policy & Procedures, available from here.
