Is your assessor a trainee? is another assessor counter signing her work? Could you ask them for advice?</p> <p>Do you have any new qualifieds in your practice who have first hand experience of the portfolio? </p> <p>You could arrange a meeting with your IV (Internal Verifier) from your college to sit down and talk through the portfolio with you</p> <p>Dont worry its not as scary as it seems when you get the hang of it.</p> <p>If you need any advice I&#39;m sure anyone on here would be more than happy to help answer any questions! </p> <p>Chin up and you will get there x</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
