Appeals Policy (v2.20)

 

ISM strives to provide excellent service to it’s learners and seeks to prevent the occurrence of appeals by ensuring learners are fully prepared for assessment events by providing clear instructions and offering reasonable adjustments if required. In the event that a learner experiences dissatisfaction, discontent or resentment about an assessment process or outcome, ISM will ensure a fair and equitable process of appeal is provided. ISM will deal with this appeal in a constructive and timely manner upholding our Code of Practice and requirements of the National Regulator.
