How to lay out each unit

[wendy_poo]

Many thanks for your answers, am trying to get hold of my assessor but may just start and do as you have all advised. Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it.

heres the explanation 4 the layout of the NVQ 3 folder....

PORTFOLIO 1

• get a lever arch file
• get some dividers, 10 divider pack.
• make a title page for this folder. decorate it wid borders and stuff and write portfolio 1, NVQ (CCLD) Level 3,Your Name

on the dividers write down:
divider 1: MATRIX SHEET
divider 2:ASSESSOR FEEDBACK



divider 3 :QUESTION + ANSWER-Performance Criteria GAPS

(301.3.2…etc)


divider 4 KNOWLEDGE & EVIDENCE

(KD217….etc)


divider 5:
·ASSESOR OBSERVATIONS
·INSPECTION OF SETTING
·PROFFESIONAL DISCUSSION
·WITNESS TESTIMONY'S & WITNESS STATUS LIST

divider 6REFLECTIVE ACCOUNTS
divider 7 DIVERSE EVIDENCE
divider 7 REFLECTION EVIDENCE

PORTFOLIO 2
Now for the 2nd folder it should be a normal ring binder, make a title page and decorate it as u wish and writeportfolio 2, NVQ (CCLD) Level 3, YOUR NAME.
U need 2 dividers
·UNDERPINNING KNOWLEDGE
·RESEARCH
i hope this helps.

As an assessor - this really depends on your training company how the folders are set up. I build my students portfolios for them - based on a variation of some of the above posts. I do it because then I know that they have been done properly.

ASK!! Your assessor is human - they SHOULD help you. I would!

Tip - ensure you sign and date every page of your work.
If you obtain witness testimonies, ensure that there signature and details are obtained on witness status lists.

THEY ARE NOT QUESTIONS
it says very clearly in the front of your cache handbook that the knowledge evidence are not just to be answered as questions. i spoke to cache about this last week and their response was if any candidate is being told to answer them as questions then they run the risk of being failed by the IV. the assessor ios supposed to ctivitly assess thse Ks by professional discussions, RAs, Q and As and SOME written questions not just point to them and say answer them. they should be posed as written questions by the assessor on a special sheet as part of a planned piece of work. they are going to be investigating this as apparently a lot of students are complaining that assessors are doing this and it is completely against the spirit of the NVQ.
