volunteering, giving the learner the skills required to help within
a volunteer workforce. The learner is assessed on their
understanding and their ability to carry out a volunteer role
within a sporting and/or recreational activity.

this qualification as it will be their volunteering skills, not
their sporting ability, that will be assessed.
