Advice on the use of health enhancing supplements is provided.
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:
Good communication skills are applied to transfer information, explain correct exercise principles and motivate clients to adhere to their prescribed exercise programmes so that they can reach their goals.
Relations between the client, the trainer and the exercise programme are evaluated to ensure optimum transfer of information, motivation to continue the programme and/or to accept changes to the regime.
Effective administration is practiced and sound principles of ethics, record keeping, confidentiality, financial management and the proper utilisation of resources are adhered to.

Integrated Assessment:
Assessment practices must be transparent, fair, valid, and reliable and ensure so that no learner is disadvantaged.
Integrated assessments imply that different forms of assessment will be used simultaneously to assess exit level outcomes and learning outcomes of different modules. Theoretical and practical components will also be assessed simultaneously with the use of both formative and summative assessments.
A variety of assessment instruments will be used that are appropriate to the context in which the learner is working. Where it is not possible to assess the learner in the workplace or on-the-job, simulations, case studies and other techniques will be used to provide the appropriate context for the assessment.
Credits will then be given for the evidence of learning already acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience. |
