AboutthisUnit
This unit will help you to develop your angling skills; for example, Health and Safety, regulations, equipment and bait.

Usingthisassessment pack

The tasksin this packwill support your learning and so it is expected that you will complete all of them and have them marked. The completed, marked exercises are the assessments on which your achievement of the AIM Awards Unit is based.

Tracking your evidence

During your course, your tutor/assessor will ask you to carry out work either in the classroom, or in your own time, which you’ll keep as evidence of your learning.

The work you produce (evidence) will be assessed by your tutor/assessor to make sure you’ve covered everything in sufficient detail. Your evidence could be made up of a combination of:

•written work or class notes

•products or samples of practical work

•case studies

•learning logs

•video or audio recordings

•other appropriate formats suggested by your tutor/assessor

When all of your evidence is gathered together in a file or folder, this becomes your portfolio.

Your centre and assessor may have systems that they use to plan and monitor your assessment. These may be computer-based (e.g. using ‘e-portfolio’ software) or paper-based (using forms or checklists). These systems are designed to show how each piece of evidence meets which learning outcomes and assessment criteria. Reasonable adjustments can be made; for example, if you have writing difficulties, your responses can be captured orally and evidenced by audio recording.

You will be working to achieve the following learning outcomes:

1. Know about the different branches of angling
2. Know about regulations relating to angling
3. Know about Health and Safety issues when angling
4. Be able to use angling equipment in a specific branch of angling
5. Know how to select and use appropriate bait
