Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competence for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competence and should be read in conjunction with the Range Statements
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered
Assessment must confirm sufficient knowledge of the factors influencing the conduct of a recreation session for participants using a particular facility or location
Assessment of performance should be over a period of time covering all relevant categories within the Range Statements that are applicable in the learners work environment
In particular, assessment must confirm the ability to conduct a particular recreation session to suit
Different participants needs
different session aims
different types of participant groups
Interdependent assessment of units
This unit must be assessed after attainment of competency in the following unit(s)

Relevant Occupational Health and Safety Legislation pertaining to the conduct of activities and care of participants
Organisation's policy and procedures for conducting a sport and recreation session for participants
Activity specific Codes of Practice and guidelines for identified activities to ensure session is conducted according to these practices and guidelines
Site/facility requirements to ensure a sport and recreation session forparticipants is conducted appropriately
Activity aims and participants goals in order to ensure the sport and recreation session is conducted in a manner that will fulfil both
Group dynamics with respect to stages of group formation
Leadership styles in order to adjust presentation according to dynamics of the group
Decision making and conflict resolution strategies for dealing with group and individual situations
Required skills
Ability to conduct risk assessment of planned sport and recreation session to ensure safety of participants and staff

Resource implications
Physical resources - assessment of this competency requires access to
participants, equipment and a facility/venue for the conduct of a recreation session
Human resources - assessment of this competency will require human resources consistent with those outlined in the Assessment Guidelines. That is, assessors (or persons within the assessment team) must
be competent in this unit
be current in their knowledge and understanding of the industry through provision of evidence of professional activity in the relevant area
have attained the mandatory competency requirements for assessors under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) as specified in Standard 7.3 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations
Consistency in performance
Competence in this unit must be assessed over a period of time in order to ensure consistency of performance over the Range Statements and contexts applicable to the conduct of a recreation session within a particular activity area
Context for assessment
This unit of competency must be assessed in the context of a sport or recreation activity with a range of clients. For valid and reliable assessment the sport or recreation activity should closely replicate the work environment. The environment should include real clients and be safe with the hazards, circumstances and equipment likely to be encountered in a real workplace
This unit of competency should be assessed through the observation of processes and procedures, oral and/or written questioning on required knowledge and skills and consideration of required attitudes
Where performance is not directly observed and/or is required to be demonstrated over a 'period of time' and/or in a 'number of locations', any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues, supervisors, participants or other appropriate persons
