The RollerFitness manual lists 20 roles and responsibilities of a certified instructor. Choose 5 that you consider most critical to participant safety and session quality, and state why.
The full list of 20 roles is laid out in Module 4. Focus on ones that have direct impact on participant safety, inclusion or the quality of your coaching rather than the administrative ones.

A participant arrives visibly anxious before their first-ever roller skating session. They are trembling slightly, have a tense body, and tell you they are scared of falling. What is the most appropriate initial action to take?
Refer to the "Give Appropriate Support to an Anxious Participant" section in Module 4. Think about what a professional, empathetic instructor would prioritise first — before any physical activity begins.
Show guidance Guidance The correct response addresses both the emotional and practical needs of the participant. It is gradual, supportive and builds confidence through small steps — not avoidance, nor forced immersion. Eliminate answers that dismiss, rush, or embarrass the participant.
Tell them there is absolutely nothing to worry about and immediately guide them onto the main floor to face their fear. Advise them to sit out the entire first session on the benches and just watch the rest of the group until they feel confident enough to try next week. Give them a rigorous lower-body warmup sequence of jumps and squats on wheels to burn off their anxious energy quickly. Ignore the anxiety and proceed with the lesson exactly as planned, assuming they will relax automatically once the music starts playing. Reassure the participant that nervousness is normal, and guide them gradually through simple balance exercises near support while building confidence with small, manageable steps. Tell them that falling is inevitable and that if they are too scared, RollerFitness might not be the right sport for them. Immediately pair them up with the most advanced skater in the class and instruct them to skate hand-in-hand at top speed around the perimeter. Suggest they remove all of their protective padding so they can move more freely, which will help reduce their body tension.
Answer all five questions about motivation. Select one answer for each.
Refer to the motivation section of Module 4. Think carefully about what drives each type of motivation and how the RollerFitness Challenge Card is specifically designed to work.
Show guidance Guidance Intrinsic motivation comes from within — personal satisfaction, enjoyment, curiosity. Extrinsic motivation comes from outside — rewards, recognition, prizes. For each question, identify which type is being described or supported, then choose accordingly.
As a RollerFitness instructor, you have a legal duty of confidentiality to your participants. What are the three specific circumstances where you are legally and ethically required to break this confidentiality?
These three circumstances are listed explicitly in the Communication & Confidentiality section of Module 4. Only one answer correctly identifies all three — look for the combination that covers risk to self, risk to others, and a legal order.
Show guidance Guidance The duty to protect life and safety overrides the duty of confidence in specific, serious circumstances. Think about: what if someone is at risk of harming themselves? What if they intend to harm another person? What if the law itself requires you to share information? The correct answer covers all three scenarios using precise language from the manual.
If a participant reveals they are at risk of serious self-harm, if they disclose an intent to harm someone else, or if you are legally ordered to share information by law enforcement or a court of law. If a participant suffers a minor injury, if their emergency contact asks for an update on their general health, or if the venue management requests to see their signed liability waiver. If a participant's regular doctor requests their fitness attendance records, if a parent asks for details about an adult participant's progress, or if you need to report a minor facility hazard to the venue owner. If a participant breaches the class code of conduct, if you need to discuss their physical limitations with another instructor for coaching advice, or if they fail to disclose a pre-existing medical condition on their health form. If a participant asks you to share their contact details with a classmate, if an insurance company requests a routine accident report, or if you need to use their medical feedback to update your class risk assessment.
