  • checking you have chosen suitable units
  • identifying any training or learning you will need to help you gain your qualification

Assessors will evaluate you based on the contents of your portfolio. It’s essential to maintain this portfolio with evidence showcasing the tasks, duties, and accomplishments you’ve accomplished in work.
