This unit is about health, safety and welfare policy and how it is implemented in an organisation. The knowledge gained applies to all workplaces whether a site, workshop, office or elsewhere.

It is now accepted that the sport industry is an important generator of economic activity and employment and, while the public and voluntary sectors of the industry play a part, it is the commercial sector in sport that accounts for the major share of sport-related economic activity & employment. This unit will investigate the size, scale and impact of sport in the UK.

This unit explores the structure and function of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and how each responds to exercise. To complete the unit, each of the three energy systems are examined.

UNIT AIM:

Businesses and organisations are driven by the information that they gather, process and provide. Often, this involves computers, networks and databases. In this unit, you will gain an understanding of how information technology and computer-based systems facilitate the needs of business and how businesses use information. You will learn about the skills and attributes needed by people working in data analysis and will gain practical experience of editing and manipulating a variety of different forms of information before applying these skills to solve a specific problem. This unit is in the Data Analyst specialist pathway due to its relevance to a business and data analytical environment. The unit supports the development of skills, knowledge and understanding relevant to a data analyst role, and can be used as a starting point to further develop their understanding of working with and analysing data, regardless of size and complexity.

In this unit you will learn to plan, evaluate and improve procedures and involves using IT tools and systems to improve the productivity and efficiency of tasks and activities.

In this unit you will learn how to make the best use of email software to safely and securely send, receive and store messages.

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Define standard measurement techniques used for taking-off quantities for 

estimating purposes. 

2.  Perform taking-off techniques in the production of a range of quantities for a 

structure. 

3.  Interpret the principles and techniques of estimating in compiling a final price. 

4.  Prepare an estimate for a work activity.
