Assessment:
To achieve the England Handball level 2 award, learners are required to attend all virtual classroom sessions along with the practical day and have assessed evidence of:
1. Completing written and online tasks
2. Planning, delivering and evaluating a minimum of 4 linked and progressive coaching sessions away from the course (each session lasting a minimum of 45 minutes in duration)
3. Planning, delivering and evaluating a 45 minute coaching session in the club environment – to be recorded and sent to the tutor/assessor.
Video evidence: The recording must ensure that the learner is clearly audible (preferably with microphone, but voice recordings to be sent alongside the video evidence are also accepted), and the learner and participants must be visible.
Poor quality video with intermittent sound is unlikely to be sufficient for the assessor to reach a full assessment decision.
