Assessment conditions Evidence will have to be filmed. Where possible, it is preferable to use real snow on mountain conditions. Candidates performing at levels 1 and 2 should be assessed on natural, outdoor terrain. Filmed/other evidence All areas of assessment required should be filmed. This may include verbal questioning regarding planning and preparation and verbal demonstration of equipment set-up and usage. The candidate may be filmed at best from in front, as they perform the skills required. It is expected that the camera remains static in order to see the technical performance at best. Weather conditions, snow quality and slope gradient should be recorded verbally. Safety considerations Candidates should be aware of the importance of appropriate behaviour whilst in hazardous environments. Candidates should know the mountain code and use it with confidence, allowing space for other mountain users around.
