Introduction

What assessments are required?

After you have studied, practised and perfected your techniques, it’ll be time to take your multiple-choice test and begin recording your final assessments.

The final assessments can be subdivided into three parts:

1) Final Multiple-Choice Test
Thirty multiple-choice questions about the theoretical and practical content of the course. You will have an hour to answer all of the questions and submit your test. You will need at least 70% correct answers to pass. You can take the multiple-choice test as many times as you need to at no extra cost in order to pass this section of your assessments.

2) Written Class Plans
You will have to write two class plans. A class plan for beginner level 1 and a class plan for beginner level 2. You will be required to type your class plans on a PDF which you will download from the training platform. You will then re-upload your written class plans for assessment.
You will not receive feedback on the written class plans until all of your assessments have been submitted. This means that you won’t hear from an assessor until you have submitted all of your practical assessments.
A final note on written class plans is that although you will have to teach a class on video for your assessor to watch; it doesn’t have to be one of the written class plans you submitted.

3) Practical Assessments
This will be the longest element of your assessment for this course. There are four main sections under ‘practical assessments’. Normally students take their time recording each section of the practical assessments. Once each section is filmed, cropped, edited and labelled, then you are ready to submit. More guidance will be given on how to record and submit assessments when you get to the practical assessments section of this course.

The practical assessment overview is as follows:
i) Skills Tests 1-3, all move demonstrations to be recorded on both sides to show your technical ability. These videos are silent demonstrations of each move. One video can be edited per Skills Test. You will need to upload your videos to Youtube, GoogleDrive, Vimeo or another private video file sharing site, and then share the URL when you are ready to submit your videos for assessment.

ii) Skills Test 4, your class teaching presentation. You will teach at least one student, for 20-30 minutes. You will utilise The Pole Studio’s teaching method, move breakdown and syllabus. Your recorded class presentation will need to be submitted in full. You will need to upload your videos to Youtube, GoogleDrive, Vimeo or another private video file-sharing site, and then share the URL when you are ready to submit your videos for assessment. 

How to submit assessments

The multiple-choice test will allow you to click and submit.

The written class plans are typed into the downloadable templates and uploaded back onto the platform.

The practical assessment videos must be submitted by uploading your videos to a video file sharing site such as Youtube (unlisted), Vimeo (private), OneDrive or GoogleDrive. You will only be able to submit URLs to your video assessments into this online training platform.
