This study explains what a portfolio is and how it links with the current changes taking place in training, building on the work being undertaken through National Vocational Qualifications, the Management Charter Initiative and other qualification programmes. It then goes on to describe the processes involved in building portfolios - from personal, work and training experience - and examples are given. The author considers all practical ways in which managers and trainers can help individuals to develop portfolios to demonstrate their competences and offers clear guidelines for managers and trainers to follow. He draws on his own first-hand experience to give examples and uses case studies to highlight good practice and to point out potential difficulties. Used: Acceptable.
