This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to design adventure-based learning programs to meet the objectives and learning needs of participants and enhance their learning opportunities.

Programs may be developed for general consumer groups but would generally be customised to the needs of a particular client group.

This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers adventure-based learning programs including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.

It applies to senior personnel who work autonomously and who are responsible for making decisions at an organisational level. This includes program managers and senior facilitators and leaders who may also deliver the program.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
