Hello and welcome –
My role today is to Facilitate a workshop on how the work place portfolio evidence is gathered and assessed – by apprentice /training provider / College lecturers who are require to assess and IV each Mandatory SVQ unit as part of the competence based evidence against the NOS , not the PDA which is completed through the Taps in college.

Recording forms for SVQ mandatory SVQ units who is using these or a version that collects the evidence – CREWS can still be used but will be withdraw for the SVQ Work place Recording Evidence form.
Methods of gathering evidence does not need to be through a visit to observe the candidate in the Work place
evidence needs to clear and is the candidate own activity but, it must be signed off and witnessed by supervisor or line manager – a blended evidence method should best using several methods as indicated above – simulation should only be used if the candidates cannot produce practical evidence on site , if candidates cannot produce the evidence it could be cross referenced for the PDA units competed during college
Professional discussions – is the evidence specific to each SVQ Mandatory units
PDA Taps – can evidence be used to assess a practical svq that the candidate cannot complete on site
Crews can they still be used for evidence
