It’s designed to provide guidance on how a portfolio could look, rather than being prescriptive. Evidence may be submitted in a variety of forms. In this example there are written accounts and photographic evidence. However, learners may submit evidence directly from sketchbooks, without first photographing or scanning it. Where the learner has provided photographic evidence, this should be clearly annotated to give context as to why it has been included. Each piece of evidence has been presented with the learning outcome number shown at the top of the page. This portfolio contains manufactured evidence produced by NCFE. External Quality Assurer guidance has been provided for the evidence relating to each learning outcome. The guidance comments on how the evidence meets the grading criteria and what could be improved to obtain a higher grade. The suggestions and assessment methods are not exhaustive and Teachers are encouraged to explore other methods which will support the learner to produce the best evidence of which they’re capable for the unit. For further advice on the suitability of a particular assessment method, you can refer to the relevant qualification specification or contact your NCFE External Quality Assurer. Each unit should be presented and assessed separately. This will assist Assessors in making accurate judgements about the learner’s competence for a particular unit. The Internal Quality Assurer will sample grading decisions made by Assessors across units and provide Assessors with feedback on the reliability and accuracy of their assessments. You may present a piece of evidence for more than one unit. Where this is the case, the evidence must be clearly mapped to all units and learning outcomes to which it applies when presented to the External Quality Assurer. This will enable them to make an accurate judgement about the overall unit grade. We would encourage the use of our Evidence and Grading Tracker document which is available on our website www.ncfe.org.uk, although any method which clearly records the evidence against the learning outcomes may be used.
