As a student you may at some time be unhappy about an academic decision or result. You have
the right to appeal for a re-evaluation. Appeals must be lodged and the appeal fee paid within 14
days of the original decision being made. Avenues for appeal are as follows:
1. Approach the Trainer and/or Operational Manager to informally re-solve the matter. If you are
unable to speak with either officer, please submit your concerns in writing within the 14 day period.
2. If you believe the matter cannot be resolved informally, you need to ensure the matter is
progressed to the LEST Training Manager or the LES General Manager within the 14 day period.
3. If you are still dissatisfied with the outcome, the matter can be placed before the LEST Appeals
Committee. The decision of this Committee is final.
4. Application for a re-evaluation of the result for a subject or part of a subject or competency incurs
a fee. For re-evaluation of 1 hour or less the fee is $80.00 or re-evaluation over 1 hour at cost. This
fee is re- funded if the appeal is successful.
