Assessments

Gymnast Demonstrators
Ensure you have organised two or three gymnasts to attend your assessment. The gymnasts should be of an appropriate standard to demonstrate supporting each full skill within your allocated skills box.
Logbook
Send your completed logbook to your assessor so they receive it at least two weeks before your assessment date.
We advise you take a copy of your logbook before sending. A copy will need to be provided in the unfortunate event of the logbook being lost. Please do not post via recorded or special delivery or hand deliver. It is recommended that proof of postage certificate is obtained. 
You may also want to take an extra copy of your lesson plan for your assessment.
E-learning modules
Ensure you have completed the course’s e-learning modules on your academy before attending your assessment. 
Skills matrix box
You can find the skills matrix under your course title on the British Gymnastics website – Skills Matrix
Please prepare to be assessed on ALL skills in your assigned skills matrix box, not just the skills in bold (these are for British Gymnastics assessments only). Your assessment is face-to-face and there is no virtual part to the assessment. The assessor will select the skills for your assessment on the day, these are not pre-selected for face-to-face assessments.

Gymnast Demonstrators
Learners must bring two or three gymnasts, who they have spent time with developing the required level three skills.
Gymnasts can be at varying levels in the skill development process, and you should be able to show the planned physical preparation and progressions. At least one gymnast must be able to perform the whole skill with support.
Documents
Ensure you bring the relevant technical module sign-off sheets, a lesson plan, training plans and evaluation documentation.  Please see learners’ guidance in your academy for more information

It is the candidate’s responsibility to ensure that they sit their assessment before the end of their registration period. Candidates have one year for level 1 courses and two years for level 2 and above. Please ensure you contact the education team in enough time to organise your assessment prior to your registration end.

Re-register
If the learner fails to complete all aspects of the course within the registration period a re-registration fee will be charged, except in extenuating circumstances where an extension may be granted at the discretion of Scottish Gymnastics. It is the responsibility of the learner to contact the course organiser as soon as possible with supporting evidence where applicable. Where the learner does not apply for an extension or re-register within a year beyond the registration period, they will be required to repeat the course.
Please contact coacheducation@scottishgymnastics.org if you would like to re-register.

Step 1 – You book onto your course and assessment dates ahead of the closing date which is approximately four weeks before day one of the course. If you know you are not able to attend the assessment, please contact coacheducation@scottishgymnastics.org before booking onto the course for this to be approved and to avoid charges.
Step 2 – You attend your course days, work with your mentor in the gym and complete your logbook and e-learning modules. 
Step 3 – Respond to the invitation emailed to you to confirm your attendance at the assessment date within the given timescales and include any additional information we need to help schedule your assessment. If you are not able to attend or do not respond, there will be assessment charges applied prior to another assessment being organised unless you have prior agreement from Scottish Gymnastics or there are extenuating circumstances. 
Step 4 – Around four weeks before your assessment you will receive your assessment confirmation letter via email. This will include all the information you need for your assessment including times, your assessor and your skills matrix box or technical sign-off sheets.
Step 5 – Levels 1 & 2: send your completed logbook to your assessor so they receive it at least two weeks before your assessment date. Logbooks received after the two-week deadline will incur a late logbook fee.
Step 6 – Attend your assessment: arrive at your assessment 15 minutes before your assessment time, on the right date and location.  The assessment will be approximately three to four months after the course. Where there are withdrawals or changes required for this assessment, you may be contacted with a revised assessment time. Please ensure that you are available for the whole of the assessment day. See below what you require for your assessment.

If you are not able to attend your course’s assessment date an assessment charge will be applied before organising another assessment, unless you have received agreement before from Scottish Gymnastics before enrolling onto the course or extenuating circumstance has been agreed, see more information below. This additional charge is to cover the additional costs for you to sit your assessment. See our terms and conditions and payment policy. 

The assessment charge applies when:
• The candidate is not able to attend their course assessment date unless extenuating circumstance are approved
• The candidate does not respond to the the assessment invite or informs Scottish Gymnastics that they can no longer attend their assessment date
• The candidate withdraws from the assessment date following acceptance of their assessment date
• The candidate fails to arrive at the allocated assessment at the appointed day/time/venue
• The candidate’s logbook does not arrive with the assessor by the date indicated on the assessment letter
• For a candidate’s third deferral of a coaching assessment and second deferral of a judging assessment

The assessment charges are:
Level 1 – £60
Level 2 – £70
Level 3 Technical module – £40
Level 4 and above – £70
If you are unable to submit your logbook/portfolio of evidence before your assessment or within the required timeframe, a charge of £20 is applicable before Scottish Gymnastics will organise a suitable revised submission date. 

If you are not able to attend your assessment, make sure you get in contact with our team on coacheducation@scottishgymnastics.org as soon as you know you cannot attend. As you were not able to attend your assessment, there is an assessment charge for you to be transferred to another assessment date, unless extenuating circumstances have been agreed. Visit the shop to pay course assessment fees.

Should you experience exceptional, unforeseeable, short-term circumstances which affect your ability to attend your assessment you may apply for extenuating circumstances, see our extenuating circumstance policy. The extenuating circumstances form should be submitted within 15 working days of the affected assessment or submission for your logbook/portfolio of evidence. Even if your tutor/assessor are aware of your circumstances, you must still complete the application form.
