Your main document is your personal reflection about your practice. Support this with evidence showcasing your relevant skills and experiences, such as certificates, work samples, recordings, emails, and photos. Organize your evidence clearly with page numbers, folders, and references. Insufficient or poorly formatted evidence may delay your application.

You will need to write a concise 600-word reflection on a task using a reflective cycle. The reflection should include an introduction, task description, what worked well and what didn’t, analysis of outcomes, and a plan for improvement. We offer free workshops for registered candidates and to help you prepare high-quality applications.

To achieve a practice credential you will need to have done something that demonstrates your capability. We call this a task. If you can identify something that you have already done that is relevant to the credential you are applying for, use that as your  task. For example, if applying for the Communication credential (under self-management), you will need to describe an activity where you effectively used your communication skills. If you don’t have a relevant task, find or join an ongoing activity in your organisation to demonstrate these skills. Out tutors will be able to advise you if tasks are adequate and approriate. You can also join our free workshops for advice.

Preparing a portfolio may take weeks or months. It is usually shorter if you’re generally organised and already document your progress extensively. Utilize our free seminars and online resources for guidance.

Submit you portfolio and video via our Dropbox system. On enrolment, you will have received instructions on how to do this, and some useful links. Make sure you include the cover sheet that provides details of what you are applying for.

We do not teach you. You learn through experience, training and education programmes provided by others. Our role is to help you organise what you know, and to review how you have applied that knowledge. We do this through workshops, where we facilitate discussion and provide guidance, and through our assessment process.

You need to prepare a training plan and any course materials related to that plan. Pay for the accreditation service then share your plans with us. We will review the materials you provide and identify where it matches with our credentials, and what gaps may exist. We then recommend how to improve the plan to ensure succesful practice credentials, and at which point candidates could submit their portfolios.
