About the course

This qualification recognises the various technical skills and knowledge of people working in multi-disciplinary roles in a variety of recreation and sport contexts. These roles include Recreation Activity Instructors, Sport Coordinators, Sport Administrators and Developers, Community Educators, and recreation workers.

The Compulsory section contains standards which cover demonstrating knowledge of recreation, the needs of recreation target groups and customer service techniques.

The Core Elective section has a flexible design to allow standard choices in the areas of administration, teamwork, and health and safety in either indoor, risk management or injury prevention in recreation or sport depending on the specific work context.

Elective A allows people to select standards in the areas of recreation provision, sports administration, events management, activity instructor, and sports coordination. Elective B allows people to select the balance of standards from anywhere on the Directory of Assessment Standards. In this way, they can choose from a wide range of standards which cover skills and knowledge relevant to their recreation workplace practice.

Candidates can pathway to this qualification from the National Certificate in Recreation and Sport (Core Skills) [Ref: 1710]. Candidates can also progress to other Skills Active qualifications such as the National Certificate in Recreation and Sport (Level 4)
