On completion of this unit learners will understand the key concepts of effective leadership and will have developed the skills required in the planning, delivery and review of activity sessions.
In this unit you will learn how to use a software application designed for the creation, editing and production of largely text-based documents.
This unit will help to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding required to successfully plan, deliver and evaluate a range of exercise programmes. Learners will explore the principles behind planning a safe and effective exercise session. This will include the use of pre-screening questionnaires and planning activity sessions to meet individual clients’ needs.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this unit students will be able to:
1. Explain the need for refurbishment.
2. Compare different options for refurbishment projects.
3. Analyse the refurbishment process.
4. Prepare a proposal for a refurbishment scheme.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this unit students will be able to:
1. Explain the methods and techniques used in civil engineering for earthworks
and substructures.
2. Present a site safety plan, risk assessment and method statement for a given
civil engineering activity.
3. Evaluate a given civil engineering problem and propose a solution.
4. Prepare a design proposal for a new infrastructure project.
The aim of this unit is to enable learners to understand the components of computer systems and develop the skills needed to recommend appropriate systems for business purposes and set up and maintain computer systems.
Unit introduction
Marketing is a dynamic field central to the success of any business. You will gain an understanding
of how a marketing campaign is developed. You will explore different stages of the process that a
business goes through when developing its campaign and develop your own campaign for a given
product/service.
You will examine the marketing aims and objectives for existing products/services and understand
the importance of relevant, valid and appropriate research in relation to customers’ needs and
wants. You will use given market research data and other information to make recommendations
about the type of marketing campaign that a business should undertake. To complete the
assessment task within this unit, you will need to draw on your learning from across your
programme.
This unit will give you an insight into how important marketing is to business. It will enable you
to make an informed choice as to whether you want to specialise in marketing in employment,
training or higher education.
Summary of assessment
This unit is assessed under supervised conditions. The Part A Research Pack is released to learners
under low control conditions in the afternoon on the day before the Part B assessment, which will
be sat in the morning session. Learners have access to Part A for a 2 hour preparation period with
the Part B assessment being a 3 hour supervised session. The assessment is set and marked
by Pearson.
The number of marks for the unit is 70.
The assessment availability is twice a year in December/January and May/June.
Sample assessment materials will be available to help centres prepare learners for assessment
Unit abstract
Most IT practitioners will at some stage have to set up, use, customise and maintain a
computer system or systems. In order to do so effectively they will need to
understand the components that make up a computer system. The operating system
interacts with the hardware components in order to make a functioning machine. As
this relationship is so close, this unit develops skills in hardware components and the
operating systems. Although the Microsoft operating system currently dominates the
market, it is not the only operating system and learners should explore at least one
other.
There are many different manufacturers of computer systems and each manufacturer
will produce a wide range of models with different specifications. Deciding which
particular model is appropriate for a given situation depends on a variety of factors.
These are explored in this unit so that successful learners can make informed choices
when choosing and purchasing systems.
In terms of software, the operating system itself often provides utility programmes
that assist the user in managing the machine. However other third party software
utility programmes such as virus checkers are also used extensively. This unit
considers both types of utility software.
Computer users also need the skills required to set up and carry out routine
maintenance of computer systems. Although this unit does not cover extensively fault
finding and repair, it includes the basic maintenance skills that would normally be
expected of most computer users.
Learning outcomes
On completion of this unit a learner should
1 Understand the hardware components of computer systems
2 Understand the software components of computer systems
3 Be able to undertake routine computer maintenance.
:This unit develops learners’ awareness of the importance of health and safety legislation, regulations and legal responsibilities of all those working in sporting situations.
Learning Outcomes

concrete beams.
2. Determine deflection for simply supported steel beams.
3. Calculate the axial load carrying capacity of steel and reinforced concrete
columns.
4. Explore design methods for steel, reinforced concrete beams and columns.
