Appeals Procedure
In accordance with the guidelines set out by AIM Awards the following Appeals Procedure may be used by any student registered for a learning programme with Go Wild Education.
In the first instance, client(s) should appeal in writing to the tutor/assessor, within 14 days of an assessment or upon notification of a decision regarding the coursework portfolio. This appeal should state the reasons for the appeal and include the item(s) of evidence in dispute.
After fresh consideration of the evidence in dispute and after consultation with another qualified assessor and/or Internal Verifier, s/he will then reply in writing stating the reasons why the initial judgement is to stand or the reasons for any new judgement.
If client(s) remain unhappy with this second judgement client(s) can appeal in writing, setting out the nature of the appeal and including any evidence in dispute to the Internal Verifier. This should be done within 14 days of the written second judgement by the assessor.
The Internal Verifier will then make a judgement in writing to the client(s) within 14 days of receiving any appeal.
If client(s) remain unhappy with the judgement of the Internal Verifier client(s) may appeal to the External Verifier under the same conditions as stated for an appeal to the Internal Verifier.
At this stage the appeal passes out of the jurisdiction of Go Wild Education and becomes a matter for the External Verifier and the Awarding Body (AIM Awards).
At any stage of the appeal the Assessor and/or Internal Verifier may pass the appeal direct to the External Verifier for judgement.
