In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard.

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

Learners credited with this Unit Standard are able to interact with a participant using an established screening tool in order to recommend physical activity or to clear for participation in an activity/s.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

A learner aspiring to complete this unit standard must have been assessed competent against the following unit standards:

Communication NQF level 4, Literacy NQF level 4 and Numeracy NQF level 2.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

Guides to the scope and complexity of the specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge are provided in bullet points beneath each. These are prefaced by "for example" since they are neither comprehensive nor necessarily appropriate to all contexts. Alternatives must however be comparable in scope and complexity. These are intended only as a general guide to scope and complexity of what is required.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Collect data in a client sensitive manner.

OUTCOME NOTES

Collect data in a client sensitive manner
For example:

Use accepted questionnaires and ask questions in an empathetic way

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. Data is accurately recorded
2. Data is stored systematically
3. Necessary data sheets, questionnaires, forms, log books are sourced for the screening procedure
4. Confidentiality and integrity of data is maintained
5. Explains purpose and function of questionnaire
6. Data is accurately interpreted according to accepted protocol for the particular screening tool
7. The screening protocol is understood together with the issues and implications that make up the screening tool (e.g. smoking, elevated cholesterol)
8. Results are accurately communicated to the fitness participant and/or referring practitioner
9. Protocol/s are explained to the participant.
10. Displays listening skills, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive and supportive behaviour.
11. Creates conducive environment for the screening process.
12. Participant is consulted with in reaching conclusions, which relate to physical activity readiness.
13. Participant is guided towards goals appropriate to physical activity readiness.
14. Areas of performance which are evaluated are open to improvement
15. Keeps track of own learning and performance and evaluates it against this unit standard and own expectations

Demonstrated ability to make DECISIONS about practice and to ACT accordingly:
1. Appropriate decisions are made about exercise/sport readiness for the participant.
2. Appropriate referrals are made where necessary.
3. Goals/objectives are set relative to the needs and aims of participant

Demonstrated ability to learn from our actions and to ADAPT PERFORMANCE:
4. Reflect on screening procedure and modifies protocol if necessary
5. Modifies delivery of the screening procedure in a culturally sensitive manner.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS

Anyone assessing a learner or moderating the assessment of a learner against this unit standard must be registered as an assessor with the relevant ETQA.

Any institution offering learning that will enable the achievement of this unit standard must be accredited as a provider with the relevant ETQA.

Assessment and moderation of assessment will be overseen by the relevant ETQA according to the ETQA policies and guidelines for assessment and moderation; in terms of agreements reached around assessment and moderation between ETQA (including professional bodies); and in terms of the moderation guideline detailed under point 4 immediately below.

Moderation must include both internal and external moderation of assessments at exit points of the qualification, unless ETQA policies specify otherwise. Moderation should also encompass achievement of the competence described both in individual unit standards as well as the integrated competence described in the qualification.

Anyone wishing to be assessed against this qualification may apply to be assessed by any assessment agency, assessor or provider institution, which is accredited by the relevant ETQA.
