Evidence requirements

UF3D459

1. Be able to work with clients to evaluate exercise and physical activity programmes

2. Be able to identify lessons for future practice

3. Understand how to work with clients to evaluate exercise and physical activity programmes

4. Understand how to identify lessons for future practice

5. Knowledge outcomes There must be evidence that you possess all the knowledge and understanding listed in the ‘Knowledge’ section of this unit. In most cases this can be done by your assessor questioning you orally. However, other techniques such as projects, assignments and/or reflective accounts may also be appropriate.

6. Tutor/Assessor guidance You will be guided by your tutor/assessor on how to achieve learning outcomes and ranges in this unit. All outcomes and ranges must be achieved.

7. External paper There is no external paper requirement for this unit.

1. Evidence of real work activity You must produce evidence to meet all ‘Observation’ outcomes and assessment criteria through your own work.

2. Simulation Simulation is not allowed in this unit

3. Observation outcomes Competent performance of ‘Observation’ outcomes must be demonstrated on at least two occasions. Assessor observations, witness testimony and products of work are likely to be the most appropriate sources of performance evidence. These observations should not be carried out on the same day. There should be sufficient time between assessments. Separating the assessment occasions by a period of at least one month is recommended.

4. Range All ranges must be competently demonstrated.

UF3D459

Your assessor will observe your performance of practical tasks. The minimum number of observations required is indicated in the evidence requirements section of this unit.

Criteria may not always naturally occur during a practical observation. In such instances you may be required to produce supplementary evidence, for example, questioning, projects or assignments may be used to demonstrate your competence in this area. Your assessor will document the criteria that have been achieved by supplementary evidence. Questioning to gather supplementary evidence can normally be carried out orally. However, oral questioning must be recorded by the assessor, in written form or by other appropriate means.

Your assessor will sign off an outcome when all criteria have been competently achieved.

The range section indicates what must be covered. Ranges should be practically demonstrated as part of an observation.

Your assessor will document the portfolio reference once a range has been competently achieved.

Achieving knowledge outcomes

Developing knowledge

You will be guided by your tutor and assessor on the evidence that needs to be produced. Your knowledge and understanding will be assessed using the assessment methods listed below:

• Observed work• Witness statements• Audio-visual media • Evidence of prior learning or attainment• Written questions• Oral questions• Assignments• Case studies

Where possible your assessor will integrate knowledge outcomes into practical observations through oral questioning. Oral questioning must be recorded by your assessor, in written form or by other appropriate means.

Some knowledge and understanding outcomes may require you to show that you know and understand how to do something. If you have practical evidence from your own work, then there is no requirement for you to be questioned again on the same topic.
