Assessment Format
A Level 3 assessment typically takes 1 hour and includes the following:
A maximum of 2 learners can be assessed by one assessor per assessment slot. A learner is able to book more than 1 module to be assessed on the day, however this is 1 hour per module.
Resources Required for Assessment
Sign-off Sheet – Learners must bring the relevant Technical Module sign-off sheet from the resource pack they were given on the course. If the learner has misplaced their form they should contact the Education department prior to their assessment to obtain a further copy.
Lesson Plan – Learners are required to bring a lesson plan to the assessment. The plan should be a minimum of one page of A4 (there is no maximum). The plan should include:
Training Plans and Evaluation Documents – The learner should be able to evidence they have spent time developing the relevant skills of the gymnasts they bring to the assessments.
Appropriate Gymnasts – Learners are expected to bring 2 or 3 gymnasts, who they have spent time with developing the required level 3 skills. Gymnasts can be at varying levels in the skill development process and should be able to show the planned physical preparation and progressions. At least 1 gymnast must be able to perform the whole skill with support.
Professional Discussion and Final Decision
The purpose of the professional discussion is to engage the learner in further dialogue around their practical assessment, the development of skills and their general coaching practice to aid the final decision. The assessor can utilise the lesson plan, training plans and evaluation documents to aid this process.
The final decision will be based on:
Cancellation Policy
Once an application for assessment has been made, the learner is liable for the fee regardless of whether they later decide to withdraw voluntarily from the assessment.
If the learner cannot attend their chosen assessment date, notice of cancellation must be received by the organiser in writing. For more information on our cancellation policy and charges, please refer to the Education Course Terms and Conditions on the British Gymnastics website.
If Learner Deemed Competent
If deemed Competent, the assessor will complete the ‘Areas of Strength’ part of the sign-off form. The assessor will then send the sign-off form to British Gymnastics for processing of the award. Once processed the learner can download their certificate from the Academy page.
If Learner Deemed Not Competent
If deemed Not Competent, the assessor will complete the ‘Areas for Improvement’ part of the sign-off form and explain clearly to the learner the reasons for their decision. The assessor will advise the learner on how long (approximately) they should develop their practice before applying for a reassessment fee. The learner can be reassessed again, via the same process above and the reassessment fee is £30.
The below skills sign off sheet is what is required by the learner to demonstrate during sign off with the BG recognised assessor (see assessment tab for further details).
