Certification Program Policy

Plagiarism Policy

Overview

Plagiarism is defined as the use of evidence or work that has been generated by a person other than the candidate without using reference.

Humanoid takes a serious view of plagiarism and will fully investigate all cases. If plagiarism is proved the candidate portfolio will be withdrawn for certification consideration. The candidate will need to produce a new portfolio if he or she wish to proceed with certification. The candidate is able to consider the use of the appeals policy if they feel that further investigation is required.

Plagiarism Action Process

All candidates are informed of the Humanoid plagiarism policy during course workshop and are required to declare that their evidence is authentic. All Assessors are made aware of Humanoid Plagiarism policy and are instructed to not accept evidence where Plagiarism is detected.

If Plagiarism is detected at assessment the candidate portfolio shall be referred to the lead internal verifier for "portfolio retake processing." All assessors are required to declare authenticity of the evidence before submitting their portfolio for certification.

All assignments and all candidates will be internally verified at least once during the candidate's time in generating their evidence portfolio. Plagiarism detection is part of the internal verifier normal function.
