This video is a submission for one candidate. In this syllabus the option within Submit for Assessment to tag multiple candidates against one piece of evidence is useful to centres. Two or three candidates may be filmed at the same time performing the same skills to reduce filming length if needed and if appropriate to their skill level. The moderator comments for this video refer to the performance of one candidate only. However, scaling may have been applied to the centre as a whole when taking the performance of all candidates into account.

This candidate would be placed in the high Level 4 range.

When placing the candidate in Level 4, consider the technique and consistency in performing the skills to a good level.

Remember to check the assessment conditions at this level have been met.


Some issues seen with Personal Survival from some centres:

  • Trainers are not worn; water shoes are used instead. The requirements listed in the Coursework Guidelines Booklet state that trainers must be worn.
  • Four items of clothing are not present when awarding a Level 4 and above.
  • The activities are not filmed in the correct order that is listed in the Coursework Guidelines Booklet. This is a requirement.
  • The five surface dives are not completed as part of the distance swim; they are added after the swim.
  • The filmed evidence is edited between tasks so the transition between these cannot be seen.
