Evidence is assessed through a variety of methods depending on the unit you are studying, but it might include:

• Completing a workbook
• Carrying out activities or exercises as part of a Workplace Learning Activity
• Undertaking activities as part of e-learning or face-to-face events
• Undertaking work-based projects
• Writing personal development action plans

In addition to the learning activities you do, you’ll need to:

• Fill in an evidence template that demonstrates how you’ve met the assessment criteria each time you complete a learning activity
• Upload your completed evidence template via the link given in the unit for assessment.
