How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer 1st4sport has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and 1st4sport awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from 1st4sport.
We develop and award industry-recognised qualifications for the sport, physical activity and active leisure industry, in areas such as coaching and sports education.
These are the units 1st4sport registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with 1st4sport. It does the teaching and the mapping. 1st4sport sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

The credits, and who awards them
Level 4 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by 1st4sport rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.
How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
The Navigator · your what-if tutor Illustration - Bring your own plan Create
For “Develop, implement and review policies and procedures for safety and security at spectator events” you bring the plan you are actually working on, not a case study. Zavmo pulls on the assumptions in it until the weak one shows.
- Map a live decision Analyse
“Allocate and monitor the progress of your work in your area of responsibility” runs on a decision you are facing now. Zavmo maps it with you and shows what the second-order effect looks like before you find out the slow way.
- Lead it Apply
“Manage information for action and decision making for spectator events” is practised on the team you actually have. You talk through the call you are about to make, and Zavmo makes you say it the way you would say it to them.
