Technicial portfolio

edited June 18 in AAT student discussion
My tutor says when we finish the exams this week (as if!) we need to get our portfolios signed off, and I'm thinking - what portfolio? I did some work on it in Intermediate, but this year its barely been mentioned. So I'm asking - do AAT really want us to prepare a big fat portfolio for the Technician year? :(

    There isn't much to the Technician portfolio. If you have done it all by exams then the only thing you need to put in are an up to date CV, job description, company organisation chart and your awards to date. The rest will be made up by your exams and project.

    If you did the Audit or CM&CC skills tests these will be dropped in as well.

    Don't really see the point of the portfolio but that's all it is.

    However if you have done the case study as your project, you don't get your portfolio back until the case study you did is no longer live on the AAT's system (around 3 years or so i think)! In case you sell it on ebay or something i think, although obviously since it's typed you have a copy anyway ...

    Is the health & safety unit still needed at each level of the NVQ - I just moved mine up from Foundation to Intermediate portfolio, and then to Technician where it sits now!

    Odd, we're not doing portfolios this year, our tutor said they were phasing them out.
    The only extra thing I did was my Unit 10 project.

    I just wrote 'completed at Foundation' on the appropriate page of the record card for H&S at Intermediate, can't see any point in having the actual work in there once it's been passed. Same goes for Working with Computers.

    Hi

    The main thing is to make sure your college have informed the AAT of your success in skills tests. Once they have done this then you're fine.

    I did distance learning and the companies i used informed the AAT as and when I completed the skills tests, so my qualification was built on the AAT's records bit by bit. Hence my 'portfolio' was just a collectiong place for my marked skills tests. However, some colleges only sign off skills tests when they have been compiled into a portfolio - this makes harder work for the college and it would be quite unfortunate if something you did at the begining of the year went missing, as it can easily do!
