1. Are you on track for your SF Bac Have you been collecting hours for your SF Bac certificate? UCAS application may be over but are you aware of how useful this will be for your future job applications? Are you aware you can use your testimonial certificate which will list all the activities you took part in alongside your CV? Subjects: Is your attendance over 90%? Skills subjects and extra activities – You need to build 200 hours over 2 years from skills subjects and extra activities combined – Skills subjects: You are bound to have earned at least 100 hours by the time you complete your course through tutorial attendance and attendance of any skills subjects – We will not worry about tallying skills hours today – Most student will be aiming for around 80-100 hours of extra activities over and above their college subjects (40 – 50 per year)

2. Tally up your enrichment hours so far 1.Check your scanned sport hours on your profile 2.Estimate the hours you have spent other activities at college e.g. Dance, student union 3.Estimate the number of hours you have spent on enrichment outside college e.g. Part time job/ your work experience placement 4.Tell your tutor how many hours you have and estimate how many you still need to achieve the SF Bac 5.List all activities you have taken part in on the values record page of your SF Bac booklet (2011 – 2013 booklet) 6.Make sure you find the correct person to get evidence of your involvement as listed on the ‘values’ page 7.If you want or need to, sign up for extra activities at the enrichment fair on Thursday 6 February * see next slide for practical details 20 15 40 Total = 75 This student needs 25 hours to make 100
