9. The report forms part of Assignment 30.3; ‘Development of equipment and facilities’ The report should be comprehensive and offer a full explanation including the following For P4, learners must describe two recent developments in equipment or facilities (they do not have to do one of each) for outdoor and adventurous activities. For M3, which links to P4, learners need to explain two recent developments in equipment or facilities for outdoor and adventurous activities. For example, if learners described an increase in the use of LEDs in outdoor lighting systems (P4) then the explanation should include detail on why, for example LEDs use less power, emit less heat and last longer. For D2, which builds on criteria P4 and M3, learners need to evaluate two recent developments in equipment or facilities, commenting on their impact/effect.
