Portfolio of evidence
You will be required to submit your portfolio of evidence at gateway, which you will have compiled throughout your apprenticeship. The portfolio must provide full coverage of the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for assessment method 2 and showcase your highest quality work.
Task
To produce a portfolio of evidence demonstrating the application of each knowledge, skill and behaviour (KSB) for assessment method 2.
The portfolio should be compiled throughout the apprenticeship and include the following: 1. A minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 pieces of evidence. There must be at least one piece of evidence mapped to each of the KSBs, although in most cases one piece of evidence will be referenced against more than one KSB.
Opportunities for combining the KSBs have been indicated in the portfolio amplification document. 2. Evidence should be in the form of written accounts of activities (referenced to the
KSBs) and supported by appropriate evidence e.g. photographs, quick reference guides, policies and procedures, statistics reporting, screenshots, communication material, reports, social media text, web pages etc. Examples of activities and evidence have been included in the portfolio amplification document. 3. Apprenticeship progress review documentation should be included in the portfolio.
Submission requirements:
1. The portfolio must be produced by the apprentice only. Your manager/ mentor will support the development of the portfolio but will not contribute directly to the production or collation of the portfolio. 2. The written accounts should be created using a word processor or e-portfolio system. 3. All accompanying evidence should be inserted in the body of the portfolio in electronic format i.e. inserted or scanned. 4. Work should be fully referenced and a bibliography must be included where appropriate. 5. All written accounts should be clear and concise. 6. You must include your name, apprenticeship number and the number of pages in the footer of any word-processed documents.
