Feedback
"The workshop was very informative and allowed me to develop further knowledge on the safeguarding of children. The leaders of the workshop were also accommodating in terms of my visual impairment and were more than happy to make adaptions to ensure that I was able to take part in all aspects of the training."
"I gave this workshop a rating of 10/10 because it was a great experience. I really appreciated how every participant had the chance to express their thoughts and have discussions in small groups, which made it much more efficient than speaking in a large group. The course was also fun and had a good flow, with adequate breaks in between. Overall, it was a great learning experience. Thank you."

If you have any support requirements to enable you to attend and successfully complete the course, please advise us when you book your place on the course. We will then contact you ahead of the course start date to discuss how we can best support you.
Learners must have access to a laptop or tablet. A smartphone device is accepted but functionality can be limited. The device must have access to a microphone as the sessions will be interactive. Please also ensure you have good WIFI access.
After the virtual classroom sessions, learners are required to produce a portfolio of evidence and complete practical assessment tasks. Assessment includes:
- Completing a series of assessed tasks to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of occupational competence and vocational achievement
- Planning, conducting and reviewing learner assessments and observation of assessment practice
- Delivery of four planned assessments for two learners in a non-work environment
Due to the nature of the assessment, learners will need to be observed assessing in their own environment. Learners are encouraged to source their own qualified assessors. Sport Structures are able to provide an assessor for an additional fee.
Learners have three years from the start date of their course to be certificated. We recommend that learners aim to finish six months prior to their course end date to ensure plenty of time for their portfolio to be marked and any amendments to be made so that their certificate can be claimed.
In exceptional circumstances, an extension may be available. Please contact education@sportstructures.com as soon as possible if you would like to discuss this further.
Successful learners may progress to further education and training qualifications, such as the 1st4sport Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Process and Practice. if they wish to become an internal verifier.
