� If your assessment requires ‘assessors choice’ exercises you should complete these either at an appropriate times during the session or at the end. Open the envelope in front of the camera, read out and show the camera the exercises written down. You can them perform them with your participant(s)

� The assessment must be conducted in a suitable environment. For this reason, a commercial health and fitness centre is highly recommended.

Unit 2.5 Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) - Learner

Venue:

Prior to participating in any fitness appraisal, workshop, or other exercise routine you are required to complete this PAR-Q together with the Informed Consent Release and Waiver Form (‘ICRW’). For most people, physical activity should not pose any problem or hazard, however, potential risks, whilst not apparent at rest, may be exacerbated by an increase in levels of physical activity. The PAR-Q is designed to identify the small number of adults for whom physical activity might be inappropriate or those who should seek medical advice concerning the type of activity most suitable for them.

The ICRW contains information relating to the level of exercise you are likely to be undertaking and should be read in conjunction with this PAR-Q.

Please complete the questionnaire below by reading each question carefully and ticking the response that applies to you. You are wholly responsible for your answers and if you are in any doubt you must seek medical advice.

1.Has your doctor ever said that you have a bone or joint problem, such as arthritis, or any medical condition, surgical operation or injury that has been aggravated by exercise or might be made worse with exercise?

Yes No

2. Do you have high blood pressure? Yes No

3. Do you have low blood pressure? Yes No

4. Do you have Diabetes Mellitus or any other metabolic disease? Yes No

5. Has your doctor ever said you have raised cholesterol (serum level above 6.2mmol/L)? Yes No

6.Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor?

Yes No

7. Have you ever felt pain in your chest when you do physical exercise or at rest? Yes No

8. Is your doctor currently prescribing you drugs or medication? Yes No

9. Have you ever suffered from unusual shortness of breath at rest or with mild exertion? Yes No

10. Is there any history of coronary heart disease in your family? Yes No

11. Do you often feel faint, have spells of severe dizziness or have you ever lost consciousness? Yes No

12. Do you currently drink more than the average amount of alcohol per week (21 units for men and 14 units for women)? Yes No

13. Do you suffer from regular head aches, dizziness, fainting or fits? Yes No

14. Do you NOT currently exercise on a regular basis (at least 3 times a week) and/or work in a job that is physically demanding? Yes No

15. Are you, or is there any possibility that you might be pregnant? Yes No

16. Do you know of any other reason why you should not participate in a programme of physical activity? Yes No

17. Is there any further information you feel the instructor should be aware of? Yes No

If you answered:‘Yes’ to one or more questions:You must consult your doctor before undertaking any fitness appraisal, workshop or other exercise routine. You will need to discuss the nature of the activity you are about to undertake and either present your PAR-Q or tell your doctor which questions you answered ‘yes’ to. Your doctor needs to advise you as to your suitability for unrestricted physical activity.

‘No’ to all questions:You acknowledge that you are taking responsibility for the accuracy of your replies and the decision that you are physically fit enough for unrestricted physical activity.

By signing this PAR-Q I undertake that I have read, understood and correctly answered the questions set out above. I wish to participate in activities that may include aerobic, anaerobic, flexibility, stability, resistance, muscular strength and endurance exercise. I realise that my participation in these activities involves the risk of injury and even the possibility of death. I confirm I am voluntarily engaging in a level of exercise that I consider acceptable and appropriate to my level of fitness. If I have answered ‘yes’ to any of the questions above, by signing this form I am also confirming that I have taken medical advice relating to my participation and my doctor has confirmed I am fit enough to participate.

Unit 2.5 Informed Consent Form (Participant 1)

About exercise programmes

Exercise programmes are designed to improve cardiovascular (heart and lungs) fitness, muscle strength and endurance as well as flexibility. Programmes may include physical activities such as running, stretching, lifting weights and using gym equipment/machines. Each part of the programme will be fully explained to you but please ask questions if you are not clear about anything. Please notify the instructor if you feel you should not do a particular exercise for any reason. This form should be signed and passed to your instructor prior to taking part in the exercise programme.

Exercise programmes contain certain risks such as muscle strains, joint sprains, aches, pains and general discomfort from parts of the body not used to exercise. The programme is designed to minimise these risks, however, if at any time during the exercise programme you feel pain, discomfort or you feel unwell you must stop and inform the instructor immediatley.

I hereby confirm that I have read, understood and answered all the questions on the PAR-Q accurately and to the best of my knowledge. I confirm that I wish to participate in this exercise programme and realise that the activities involve an element of risk of injury or even death.

TRAINFITNESS provides a formal route for learners wishing to appeal against an assessment decision. All learners are assessed against the relevent regulating organisation criteria. Assessment decisions are made by Assessors who have a recognised Assessor qualification.

Areas for Appeal

The TRAINFITNESS Appeals Policy enables learners in certain situations to make a formal appeal against a recommendation or assessment decision relating to:

1. the mark or grade awarded for an external assessment.

2. the regulating organisation External Quality Assurers’ decision on any element of assessment that differs to the Assessor’s or Internal Quality Assurer’s decision (for example, if an internal assessment has been marked by the centre Assessor as achieved but the External Quality Assurer disagrees with this decision).

3. an application for a reasonable adjustment or special consideration submitted to the regulating organisation for approval.

4. TRAINFITNESS’s final, overall assessment decision for a unit or qualification.

Grounds for Appeal

The following is a list of examples and is not comprehensive:

• There was an error in the external assessment materials.

• A reasonable adjustment was refused without reason or a decision to limit a requested reasonable adjustment proved to be inappropriate or insufficient.

• The learner requested special consideration but this does not seem to have been applied.

• There were medical or other extenuating circumstances which affected the learner’s performance in an external assessment.

• There was inappropriate or irregular conduct on the part of the Assessor.

APPEALS POLICY

Appeals Process

Stage 1

The learner should discuss on the day they receive the assessment decision their intention to appeal that decision with the Assessor responsible for informing the learner of that decision. If the learner is dissatisfied with the outcome of this discussion, the learner should complete the Learner Appeals Application form and submit this to [email protected] or by post to: Internal Quality Assurer, TRAINFITNESS, 2A Moonraker Point, Pocock Street, London, SE1 0FN. The learners must submit this form within five days of the date of the assessment and include with it any supporting evidence (see additional notes below). Appeals received after this time will not be heard.

64

Additional Notes

1. It is extremely difficult to investigate appeals without impartial evidence. Therefore, appeals against referrals in practical teaching based solely on the learner’s disagreement with the Assessor’s decision will only be considered when accompanied by a video recording of the learner’s practical assessment.

2. The learner has the right to video any aspect of their practical assessment using their own video recording equipment provided it does not interfere with the assessment process, other learners or the Assessor’s ability to carry out their role(s).

3. It is the responsibility of the learner to arrange a video operator.

4. Prior to the assessment date and so that a decision can be made for deferral, it is the responsibility of the learner to notify TRAINFITNESS of any medical problem which may affect learner performance adversely in the assessment process.

5. Theory papers that are externally assessed by a regulating organisation are marked electronically.

6. Appeals against referrals for an external theory result may result in the following action:

• Investigation into the centre’s invigilation procedures/delivery;

• Hand marking of the theory papers;

• Investigation into the content of the theory paper by the regulating organisation.

Appeals Policy Declaration

Please sign here to indicate that you have read and agree to abide by the Appeals Policy.

Learner Name

Learner Signature

Date

Stage 2

Once received by us, our Internal Quality Assurer (“IQA”) will investigate the appeal and respond in writing to the learner with a decision within 20 working days of receipt of the form. If the learner is dissatisfied with the IQA’s decision, the learner should make a complaint directly to the regulating organisation.
