What does Not Yet Competent mean?

Onfit's qualifications are competency-based, not graded. Every assessment is marked as either Satisfactory or Not Yet Competent (NYC). NYC simply means there's still some work to do. It isn't a fail in the traditional sense and it doesn't reflect on your overall progress.

Step 1, read your assessor's feedback in full. Every NYC outcome includes specific feedback explaining where the response didn't fully meet the criteria. This is your roadmap for the resubmission.

Step 2, compare your attempts. In your Learner Portal, go to the Activities tab and select 'Completed.' Right-click each previous attempt and open them in new tabs. Looking at them side by side often makes it clear which questions need rework and which already met the criteria.

Step 3, tailor your response to the case. If the assessment includes a case study, your answer needs to apply specifically to that client's situation, not just give generally correct advice. For example, if a client doesn't eat takeaway food, suggesting they cut down on takeaway isn't relevant. Always reference the specific details in the scenario.

Step 4, stay within scope. Make sure your advice stays within the scope of practice for a Certificate III or IV in Fitness, particularly around nutrition supplementation, medical advice, and rehabilitation.

Step 5, use your course materials. The Resources tab in your portal contains all the lesson content as PDFs. Refer back to the relevant lesson before resubmitting. The feedback often points to a knowledge gap that's covered directly in the materials.

If you're still confused after reading the feedback, just reach out. We can walk through it with you over email or arrange a call.
