student/trainee has demonstrated the required knowledge and skills consistently whilst
on the job.
4. A Photographic Record of work completed on site corroborated/signed by the
employer where possible with the trainee carrying out the actual work. These photos
should contain name, date, and the units that are supported by the photographic
evidence. (Only to be used as supportive evidence)
5. Other forms of evidence including recognition of prior learning and skills, corroborated
