Stewards stepping up to supervise.

Designed for people working in match day and events stewarding, at sports events, parades, concerts or carnivals. It confirms occupational competence for supervisory roles.

You need to be 18 or over. There are no prior learning requirements, although having achieved a Level 2 qualification is useful preparation.

As at Level 2, a work placement runs throughout the qualification and before certification, because the evidence has to come from real events.

Successful completion confirms competence in roles including Senior Steward, Assistant Ground Safety Officer and Marshal.

Two notes from the specification.

The two Level 2 units are recommended only for learners who have not already completed a Level 2 qualification in spectator safety.

Managing resources for safety and security does not stand alone, despite its credit value. You still need a second optional unit for a full certificate.

How the assessment works.

Assessment is through performance in the workplace. Your assessor marks a portfolio of evidence, which NCFE externally quality assures. There is no written exam.

Simulation is used only where a real work environment cannot produce the evidence. Here that may apply to the unit on dealing with incidents.

Also required before certification.
