Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential

utilises knowledge of information technology systems to develop a system to document and maintain data to meet the regulation and compliance accreditation needs in own sporting or activity area

implements procedures to support accreditation and adjudication systems using testing protocols to determine suitability for the sport
