Template for Health-related Exercise/Training Programme

  • Read/download the Health-related Exercise/Training Programme template

This optional template has been designed for teachers to download and to issue to their candidates. It serves to focus attention on the marking criteria for the Health-related Exercise/Training Programme and to provide a guide to the length and depth of work required. In cases where candidates have already completed their work, teachers may wish to complete the first page of the template and attach it to the work as a cover sheet.
