Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the ability to source initial and updated information on technologies used in the sport fitness and recreation industry and apply this knowledge to the performance of own work role while complying with work health and safety and ethical requirements use wireless technology to effectively communicate with relevant others capture vision and audio and use software applications to enhance audio and vision for the purpose of gathering information or enhancing performance utilise monitoring software to gather data from athletes or clients analyse this data and present the results in a meaningful way to relevant others
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must also ensure access to technologybased equipment and relevant software information sources in order to conduct research and collect sufficient information codes of ethical behavior or conduct technical documentation relevant to sport fitness and recreation technologies
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 direct observation or audio or vision recordings of individual using technologybased equipment in sport fitness and recreation contexts case studies and problemsolving exercises to assess application of technologies to different situations and contexts written or oral questioning to assess knowledge as listed in the required knowledge section of this unit review of portfolios of evidence and thirdparty workplace reports of onthejob performance 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 SISXWHS Follow work health and safety policies
