WHO KEEPS

THIS UPDATED?

It is your responsibility to ensure that your portfolio is regularly updated with the correct information. Please check each year for any updates in the guidance document, below.

HOW DO I KEEP IT?

The document is digital and does not need to be printed.

Students either copy and paste in their material to the single document, or keep all their files on the cloud, and link the viewable files within the document. Or a mixture of both.

The format is flexible, it is not graded, just needs to be clear, logical and accessible.
