Candidate Honesty Policy and Agreement

CANDIDATE HONESTY POLICY AND AGREEMENT

Career assessments are most useful when they are completed honestly, independently and under appropriate conditions.

By participating in a Career Ignite assessment, the candidate agrees to:

Provide accurate personal, educational and professional information
Answer questions honestly according to their own interests, preferences, abilities and experiences
Complete the assessment independently, without another person selecting or influencing answers
Follow all assessment instructions
Complete the assessment in a suitable environment with minimal interruptions
Avoid using unauthorised assistance, copied answers or automated tools
Keep assessment login details confidential
Not permit another person to complete the assessment on their behalf
Not copy, reproduce, distribute, sell or publish assessment questions or protected content
Inform Career Ignite if technical problems or significant interruptions affected completion

Parents, guardians, teachers and other supporters may assist with technical access or clarify general instructions, but they should not choose answers for the candidate.

Career Ignite may ask a candidate to repeat an assessment or may decline to rely on the results where there are reasonable grounds to believe that:

Another person completed all or part of the assessment
Answers were deliberately misleading
Unauthorised assistance was used
Assessment security was compromised
The assessment conditions materially affected the reliability of the results

Assessment results are decision-support tools and depend partly on the information and responses provided by the candidate. Inaccurate or dishonest responses may produce unsuitable or misleading recommendations.

Where the candidate is under 18, the parent or guardian confirms that the learner has been encouraged to answer independently and honestly.

By proceeding, the candidate and, where applicable, the parent or guardian acknowledge and accept this policy.
