Examples of portfolio entries
The following documents contain examples of good entries from successful candidates and clearly meet the standards of evidence required. Some of the examples contain evidence from quite significant pieces of occupational psychology work. It is possible to meet the standards with less extensive assignments and/or written shorter, as long as the required evidence is demonstrated.
To make it easy to find the information you need from an expanding list of examples, we have catalogued them by the following types of evidence they illustrate: the breadth and depth areas, generic skills and the Key Roles (Occupational Standards). At present there may not be many examples of each, but other examples of good candidate entries will be added as and when they are idenfied.
Each entry is set out in the format described in the 2012 Handbook. The most significant difference from the requirements of the 2010 Handbook, is the need to evidence all indicators of each OS element in the same entry. Thus you will see that the OS elements are only specified at the '4.2' level, rather than the '4.2.2' level. There may be evidence of OS elements and generic skills in the entries that are not identified as being awarded by the assessors. This is because they either were not claimed by the candidate in that entry, or they were claimed, but were awarded in another entry submitted at the same time.
