Evidence of the ability to:
plan and provide services within budgetary constraints that reflect the needs of a range of participants in accordance with organisational policies and procedures
monitor the provision of services and apply effective contingency-management techniques to deal with a range of new or changing situations that may arise, and make adjustments in response to these changing situations
evaluate and document the outcomes of the service
make recommendations on services and reflect on own work performance to identify ways in which service outcomes and benefits to participants can be improved.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
planning, implementation and evaluation of multiple sport, fitness or recreation services to allow the individual to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.
Assessment must also ensure access to:
an environment or facility appropriate to the planning and provision of sport, fitness or recreation services
target groups with specific needs
appropriate persons to provide approvals
resources for the service
organisational documentation relevant to service provision.
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 planning and implementing a sport fitness or recreation service
observation of interacting with a range of target groups to establish service needs
observation of dealing with contingencies, such as changing circumstances in service provision
oral and or written questioning to assess knowledge of principles of community development practices
portfolio containing evidence of work plans for sport, fitness and recreation services and reports on outcomes
third-party reports from a supervisor detailing appropriate work performed by the individual.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
