Students develop a portfolio that provides documentation that course outcomes have been met Course outcomes are met through Training Work experience Responsibility/expertise Life experience Note: Submission of portfolio does not guarantee credit will be approved. Credit is awarded for learning that occurred through experience – not for the experience itself.
