Learner to provide narrative under each statement of how they meet the criteria. However, where the assessment criteria asks you to ‘Demonstrate’ this may be covered during your observation with your assessor and if so you are not required to provide written narrative. This will be stated under the assessment criteria so please read carefully.
You must provide answers to each question that allow your assessor to properly assess what work duties you are doing or what role you have within your work. It expected that you will need approximately 300 words per question. The more detail you provide the less likely your account will be sent back for more clarification.
You must answer each question in your own words and write in the first person meaning “I do this”. A tip is always to keep in mind the “who, why, how, where and when” in each answer.
