Third Age Fitness employs a variety of assessment methods to ensure you acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to become an effective fitness instructor for older adults. Here's an overview of our assessment processes -
Online Assessments
The majority of our courses are assessed through 100% online methods -
- Multiple choice quizzes - primary form of assessment for most courses
- Attempts - three attempts allowed to pass each quiz
- Passing Grade - typically 80%, but may vary depending on the course
- Additional Support - available if you don't pass after three attempts
- No Extra Fees - no additional charges for extra attempts or support
Assessment guide
Most courses include a comprehensive assessment guide -
- Purpose - contains full set of questions, including visual elements or diagrams
- Access - must be reviewed before attempting the online quiz
- Content - includes multiple-choice questions and image-based questions
- Preparation - students should thoroughly study the guide to familiarise themselves with question formats before assessing the quiz.
Online quiz process
After reviewing the assessment guide:
- Submit answers into the online quiz platform. The online quiz is the official submission method
- Quiz results are typically available immediately upon completion
This two-step process ensures students have full access to all question materials while maintaining assessment integrity and efficiency.
Practical assessments
For certain courses, such as the Older Adult Fitness Level 1 workshop, a practical assessment is required:
- Format - completed either face-to-face or via Zoom video call
- Content - demonstration of specific exercises and teaching techniques
