PORTFOLIO CONTENTS SHEET
The purpose of a portfolio is to keep in one place a record of evidence of all treatments or occasions
where practice and experience of techniques and ranges for the qualification being studied, are
kept.
The folder should be large enough to hold all of this evidence generated, a lever arch folder is
usually sufficient. If more than one qualification is being studied for, it is often possible to put all of
the evidence in one folder keeping it organised and clearly identified, with the use of dividers.
To remove the need to duplicated evidence it is important to be aware that if any units of study are
replicated between qualifications being studied it is highly recommended that the evidence is only
produced once but clearly signposted for an examiner to find.
Additional portfolio evidence (must be completed and marked prior to the
examination schedule)

Notes and guidance
Consultation
Please be aware that only general details of the client may be recorded prior to the treatment so the
therapist has time to fully demonstrate their abilities in consultation. The information that may be
completed prior to the exam process includes: Name, contact details, medical history and
medication, allergies etc.
It is not acceptable to include any information on skin analysis, skin type or conditions that are nonmedical. Nor is it acceptable to include information on current or proposed treatment advice, or
homecare. This information is to be decided upon and recorded by the practicing therapist during
the exam process.
