Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Maintain the safety, hygiene and efficiency of a fitness facility

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

When conducting assessments, assessors must ensure that they are familiar with the full text of the Unit Standards being assessed. They must ensure that the assessment covers the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes and essential embedded knowledge. As each situation is different, it will be necessary to develop assessment activities and tools, which are appropriate to the contexts in which practitioners are working. These activities and tools may include self-assessment, peer assessment, formative and summative assessment. The specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in relation to each other. If a practitioner is able to explain the essential embedded knowledge but is unable to perform the specific outcomes, they should not be assessed as competent. Similarly, if a practitioner is able to perform the specific outcomes but is unable to explain or justify their performance in terms of the essential embedded knowledge, they should not be assessed as competent. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Assessment should include practical demonstration of competence, either in the workplace or through work-realistic, out-of-classroom simulation. A range of assessment methods should be used, including: Direct observation - watch the practitioner carry out the task or produce a desired outcome during the course of his or her normal work under normal workplace conditions Product sample - examine the outcomes previously produced by the practitioner Simulation of a specific task - set a specific task for the practitioner to demonstrate in a simulated environment Questioning (verbal or written) - ask relevant questions linked to the unit standard Testimony - collect a portfolio of evidence from suitable people (e.g.: reports from a third party) Integrated assessment It may be more effective and efficient to assess a number of unit standards together thus reducing the overall number of assessment 'events'. Consider a complete activity in the workplace (the 'whole of work' approach) and see which unit standards relate to this activity. Work out how practitioners could collect evidence on a number of unit standards at the same time covering all the critical aspects of the standards Ensure that commonalities that exist between a number of unit standards are captured in a way that makes sense for assessment. Assessing the following will ensure that the specific outcomes, essential embedded knowledge and critical-cross-field outcomes are assessed: 1. Fitness environment is kept hygienic, tidy and wellmaintained 2. Weights are stacked in correct stacks, according to weight and size 3. Machines are kept well maintained and lubricated with cams working . 4. Machines are calibrated according to specifications 5. Machine service records are maintained and kept in an accessible place for record checking Demonstrated ability to learn from our actions and to ADAPT PERFORMANCE: 1. Reflect on, measure and evaluate performance in order to improve future practice and learning.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

Advise on the principles of fitness equipment servicing and preventative maintainance.
