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 Transcend Awards has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and Transcend Awards awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Transcend Awards.
Learner must select one of the following pathways to achieve the qualification: Transcend Level 4 Diploma in Coaching Sport Pedagogy in High Performance Environments Transcend Level 4 Diploma in Coaching Physical Education Pedagogy in School Environments Transcend Level 4 Diploma in Coaching Sport and Physical Activity Pedagogy in Community Environments
These are the units Transcend Awards 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 Transcend Awards. It does the teaching and the mapping. Transcend Awards sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.
