Quality of Work
In order to apply for certification for all your hard work, we need to ensure your evidence is fit for purpose. Your evidence has to be authentic (proof it is your work), sufficient (meets all learning outcomes and assessment criteria), reliable (presentable at the expected level of the course) and current (up to date). We do recognise the importance of maintaining confidentiality. Please ensure you do not expose the personal details of your service users.
You, therefore, need to ensure your evidence meets the above principles when completing your coursework. Please do not waffle or use long introductions. Get to the point and start addressing the assessment question as soon as possible. Remember we are after quality, not quantity.
Quality of Evidence
Where you are expected to provide supporting evidence of practice please make sure all principles of assessment have to be met. The evidence should be authentic, sufficient, reliable, valid and current. The screenshot should clearly demonstrate how you have met all principles. For example, when submitting evidence of an email, it should be clear this is an email. We will not accept evidence of emails that rely on a copy and pasted word, text or pdf document. We will not accept evidence of records that have also been copy and pasted. An actual screenshot of the recording has to be provided.
Quality of References (Sources)
You will need to provide references whenever you use other people’s work. We generally expect references when you discuss theories principles and legislation. Definitions will require references from reputable sources. Please stay away from Wikipedia and dictionary references. References from sources such as the Department of Health, universities and the United Nations will be fantastic.
Demonstrate Practice
Where you are required to demonstrate practice you need to identify dates and times. It should be easy to verify your evidence.
Confidentiality
You should ensure you maintain confidentiality at all times. Please do not include personal details of your clients as part of your evidence. You should also not include sensitive business information.
Presentation of your work
Your course comes with standardised coursework templates. These will allow you to input your name, page numbers and identify your course.
If you choose not to use the template ensure all pages of your work should have your name, course title and page number.
We require candidates to use Arial font, size 11 and 1.5 spacing. Where you have a corporate font or prefer another font subject to your needs please feel free to use it and maintain the same text size and spacing.
When completing any coursework please copy and paste the full assignment brief of the course work at the beginning before your response. This is critical as your assessor will make an assessment decision based on the task you have highlighted.
Please note, we reserve the right to revise any of your coursework briefs at anytime inline with our quality assurance procedures.
