PORTFOLIO BUILDING GUIDELINES
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 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!
Direct performance evidence (actual samples of your work or records of activities captured
on audio or video tape).
Sufficient (adequate to prove your competence against all of the assessment criteria and
range statements in the unit standard/s).
