The Active IQ Level 3 Award in Managing Pool Operations Course is a 3 day training course designed for those who are working with pools day in day out, or who are responsible for those who are.
The course is assessed through the completion of a Portfolio of Evidence and an online multiple-choice examination.
Stage 1 – Initial Learner Evidence Document
Before starting the online programme, learners are required to complete a Learner Evidence Document.
This document asks learners to identify items, equipment and chemicals used at their pool. It forms the first part of the Portfolio of Evidence and contributes 10% of the overall course assessment.
Stage 2 – Online Tutorials and Coursework
The first stage of the online tutorials consists of three units, which are divided into individual lessons.
At the end of each unit, learners complete a multiple-choice quiz designed to consolidate and reinforce the knowledge covered within that unit.
On completion of Stage 1 of the online tutorials, learners will be able to complete the Learner Achievement Portfolio (LAP). The LAP is the main coursework element of the programme and contributes 40% of the overall assessment.
Once the LAP has been completed and submitted, it will be marked by the tutor.
An MS Teams meeting will then be arranged to discuss the learner’s answers and provide feedback on any areas where further work or clarification is required.
Learners must achieve the required standard in the LAP before progressing to the next stage of the programme.
Stage 3 – Additional Online Tutorials
Once the required standard has been achieved in the LAP, learners will be enrolled onto the second stage of the online programme.
This stage consists of two additional units, providing further knowledge and information to support the learner in preparing for the final online examination.
Stage 4 – Online Examination
The final assessment is an online multiple-choice examination, which contributes 40% of the overall course assessment.
Learners must achieve the required standard in their coursework before they can be enrolled onto the final examination.
Stage 5 – Final Reflection
Once the learner has successfully completed the coursework and examination requirements, they will be required to complete a Final Reflection Document.
This contributes the remaining 10% of the overall assessment.
Portfolio of Evidence and Certification
The completed Learner Evidence Document, Learner Achievement Portfolio and Final Reflection Document, together with the associated assessment evidence, form the learner’s Portfolio of Evidence.
The final qualification outcome is determined by the combined marks achieved across all assessment elements, including the online examination.
Once the learner has successfully completed all required elements and achieved the required overall standard, their certificate will be requested from Active IQ.
On completion of the programme, the learner will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
