114072 PG 1.9 UNDERSTANDING THE PORTFOLIO BUILDING PROCESS
Your Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) contains the evidence needed to declare you competent and to award credits towards the award of this qualification to you. Evidence should be authentic and reflect both your knowledge of the subject and your ability to apply this knowledge in the workplace. Thus, evidence of day to day activities supporting the specific outcomes addressed by this learning programme should complement the theoretical learning you attended and were assessed on.
There are FIVE key steps in creating a portfolio that will reflect your competence.
Plan Your Portfolio
Plan and document the sequence, graphics and layout of your portfolio. This will assist you in following a logical sequence, which makes the Portfolio also much more user friendly and understandable for the assessor. It will also reflect your professional approach and attitude towards the subject matter, your work and your life. Impact and appearance always contribute to or affect your chances of being taken seriously and declared competent!
Gather The Evidence
An evidence checklist has been provided (Section 4) to tell you what evidence needs to be gathered for assessment purposes. However, there are four broad categories of evidence that you should include:
- Knowledge evidence (your knowledge questionnaire).
- Direct performance evidence (actual samples of your work or records of activities captured on audio or video tape).
- Indirect performance evidence (documentary records of your performance e.g. appraisals, photographs, testimonials, self-assessments, customer ratings etc.).
- Supplementary evidence (to confirm the authenticity of your evidence).
Once you have collected your evidence, evaluate each piece by ensuring that it is:
- Valid (relevant to the unit standard/s being assessed).
- Authentic (clearly your own work).
- Current (not more than 2 years old).
- Sufficient (adequate to prove your competence against all of the assessment criteria and range statements in the unit standard/s).
Cross-Reference Your Evidence To The Unit Standards
Evidence for assessment against unit standards must be linked to the outcomes of the unit standard in question. An evidence locator grid is useful for this.
