Assessment must also ensure access to:
sport and recreation environments and facilities that reflect local requirements and activities
equipment and resources required for the sessions, including participants with varying needs, venues, support staff, equipment and materials
documentation, such as session plans and checklists for equipment checks
organisational policies and procedures.
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:
observation of interaction with a range of participants, including conveying information for safe participation in sessions; and assisting in delivery, supervision and evaluation of sessions according to own level of responsibility
oral and or written questioning to assess knowledge of techniques and activity skills for the specific session
