LEST students are required to adhere to a Code of Conduct. A range of student rules have been set
down by LEST to ensure students conduct themselves in a manner that neither damages the
reputation and professional standing of LEST nor detracts from the image of a safe and positive
learning environment. By adhering to the following basic rules of behaviour, students and staff
should be able to reap great academic and social rewards from the learning experience at LEST.

Students are responsible for:
-
Enrolling before the prescribed closing date, and paying applicable fees before commencing
classes.
-
Ensuring that they enrol in modules/competencies for which they hold prerequisites.
-
Purchasing all necessary books, materials and equipment as described in the course
requirements on the enrolment form.
-
Understanding the student requirements for assessment.
-
Checking that holidays, business commitments etc, do not clash with examinations.
-
Notifying LEST of any changes of address, or personal details.
-
Maintaining a high standard of behaviour whilst undertaking LEST activities, and refraining from
any acts that may result in damage to LEST property or unduly interfere with the comfort or
convenience of others.
-
Refraining from behaviour that may disrupt or interfere with the teaching or learning of others.
-
Observation of all safety, health and hygiene requirements including safety directions, non-
smoking areas, instructions, emergency evacuation procedures and appropriate dress,
footwear and personal protective equipment standards.
-
Not eating or drinking in the classroom unless it is identified that this is permitted during
training.
-
Keeping all areas of the training facility free from litter and graffiti.
-
Observation of any other local requirements that may apply from time to time.
-
Not bringing banned/illegal substances, alcohol or weapons on to LEST property or into a
facility being used for training by LEST.
-
Refraining from making defamatory comment in relation to staff, students or LEST.
Failure to comply with these terms and conditions would constitute misconduct and may result in
dismissal action and/or legal proceedings.

Tools and equipment are provided for student use on some LEST courses. It is the responsibility of
the student to ensure the equipment/tools are returned promptly and in good working order.
|
|
All Learning Guides and training material produced by LEST are protected by copyright and may
not be reproduced in any form without written permission from the LEST.
|

Students may not submit as their own work that which has been derived from another source. This
constitutes plagiarism. All information sources must be properly acknowledged. A student shall not
cheat or attempt to cheat in any examination or any other assessment. A student found cheating
shall be instantly informed of such by the trainer in charge (or supervisor), but allowed to finish the
examination/assessment.
The trainer in charge (or supervisor) shall prepare a written report on the alleged cheating and
attach the report to the student’s examination paper or assessment. The matter shall then be
referred to the Training Manager of LEST who will give the student reasonable opportunity to be
heard after reading the report. The LEST Training Manager shall then make a ruling. Any student
found plagiarising or cheating will be penalised. They will be awarded an “NYC" - “Not Yet
Competent” and required to re-enrol in the unit of competency/subject at a later date.
