Portfolio
of Evidence & Assessment
What is assessment?
Assessment is the process
of obtaining evidence & judging it against a recognised standard for each unit
& element.
How is the evidence obtained?
Evidence is what you will
provide to prove your ability to do your job, your competence & some examples
are noted below. Your assessor will discuss with you the most appropriate ways to
gather the evidence & put it into your portfolio.
What is a portfolio?
A portfolio is a convenient
way to collect & present your evidence for assessment.
Your portfolio can contain
any evidence that contributes towards accreditation of the units of competence.
Your assessor will guide you to ensure that the quantity of material does not become
unmanageable & that only evidence relevant to the standards is included.
Your portfolio should be
laid out & indexed well enough that someone new to the portfolio can easily
find their way through it.
