In order to achieve the qualification, learners must compile a portfolio of evidence demonstrating how they have met all the learning outcomes and their associated assessment criteria.

Learners will be assessed to ensure they are competent against the skills and knowledge set out in the qualification. The assessor will plan with the individual the best way to evidence against the requirements in the qualification and there are a range of assessment methods which can be used, for example, observation, professional discussion, reflective accounts, questions, work product evidence etc. For some elements, direct observation is required and will involve an assessor visiting the learner at their place of work.
