Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
consults with appropriate personnel to gather and analyse data to determine required resources for a recreation initiative
utilises data obtained to calculate income and to prepare, document and submit a budget, including costings for the initiative, using an appropriate format and within required organisational timeframes
applies effective contingency management techniques to respond to problems and makes adjustments in response to feedback
applies a continuous improvement approach to review own performance and recommend potential improvements.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure development of a budget for a recreation initiative that reflects local requirements and is of sufficient breadth to enable the candidate to demonstrate competency.
Assessment must also ensure access to:
recreation environments and facilities that reflect local requirements and activities
data required to develop the budget
organisational policies and procedures related to budgeting
appropriate personnel
organisational documentation and appropriate technology requirements.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of forecasting techniques for projected income
portfolio containing evidence of candidate's documentation relating to the costing and preparation of a budget for a recreation initiative
third-party reports from a supervisor detailing candidate's work performance over multiple applications.
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
SISCCRD301A Facilitate community development through recreational activities.
