Portfolio of evidence

[nysk2008]

Hi all hope you are all good.

I am looking for a bit of help, bit of advice and bit of guidance really. I have been lucky enough to secure work with a gas engineer who is happy to help me build my portfolio before I do my ACS etc etc. The problem is that I have no idea how to set out my portfolio, what information it should contain, does each job I do have to have a coversheet if so does anyone have a blank example they could email me?

I know there is a lot of questions but I really want to get this spot on from the beginning. Cheers for reading

hi are you registerd on a course to do your gas??

Hi Andy, not on a course for my ACS yet as have been told that I need my portfolio and hours first, done a bit of reading though which will hopefully give me a bit of a head start.

[andyg0507]

you need to get yourself on an accredited course who will then supply a portfolio for you to work through, at least thats what im doing so someone correct me if im wrong, have you done your plumbing quals??

for my portfolio i have to do 23 on site jobs( multitude of jobs, service,breakdowns,installs) on a number of different appliances, and then you have to do 23 jobs in the college/training centre.

as well as that your are taught what you should, or in some of the lads on my course's cases shouldunt do.

hope this helps.

If youre doing level 3 tech cert and NVQ then some acs centres dont ask you to do the gas course, just the portfoilio and then the initial ACS assesment 5-6 days., then you should/might pass.
