Hi

Is there anyone who has completed this unit, can they tell me how much writting they did. I completed NVQ level 3 about 18 months ago, that level gave a list of criteria which you had to cover but i haven't noticed it in this one. so far i have only done the induction and about 5 questions in Unit 401. I don't want to end up waffling and telling a story. Any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

i started in april, am still on 401 as a complete muck up in the begginning had my first observation today and think can mark most of the performance criteria of only need to do the knowledge bit but yes keep getting told for some you will write loads but for others not so much we were told you could add some knowledg criteria together, for example i have stuck k4c755 and
k4c767 as the questions relate to one another. keep going i am and we will get there together. xx

I ve done 401 and my per was about 5 pages of A4 typed i had 1 observation by my assessor,(a staff meeting) 1 observation from my manager on my role as senco and one observation from a behaviour support worker who i was liasising with regarding behaviour management in the group. And 1 self reflective account on conflict. This unit was assessed by the outside assesssor (cant remember what they call them) and I had to get an observation signed by my manager to confirm it was a true account.(verified they called it) otherwise it was ok, phew!
