Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:

evaluates and makes recommendations on services and reflects 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 and recreation services to allow the candidate to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.
Assessment must also ensure access to:
an environment or facility appropriate to the planning and provision of 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 and 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 and recreation services
third-party reports from a supervisor detailing appropriate work performed by the candidate.
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
SISXCCS404A Address client needs.
