Level 3
Task
Evidence to meet standards
Task should show
independent
performance
Level 3: Explain how you assessed your own capabilities against
given criteria and how you engaged in guided development
activities which helped you improve.
Sophie assessed her
performance and set
targets for
improvement
Level 3:
Sophie is doing A Levels. Every term has to assess her
performance in her subjects against a set of assessment criteria
given to her by the teacher. She then has to set targets to show
how she will improve. This term she has said she will read more
background information for English and see a play which is on
locally.
Use the language of the standards

Level 4
Task
Task should show
independent
performance
Jordan assessed his
own and others’
performance against
company targets and
supervised new staff in
meeting company
targets.
Evidence to meet standards
At Level 4 you will also have to explain how you reviewed and
developed the performance of yourself and others.
Level 4:
In his role at Sports Direct Jordan has to assess his performance
each week against the goals set for him by the company. He
looks at data to review his performance as well as others in the
company. He is asked to assesses who is best for what job so
that they can meet company goals. Sometimes, without
supervision, he has to assign staff to different roles. He often
supervises new staff and he tries to pass on tips and suggestion
about how they can meet company goals.
Task:
1. Start with your best match skill.
2. Identify a task you completed where you
used the skill.
3. Add your evidence, matching it to the
standards for 4 or 5 skills.
Don’t
forget to
save
You can use the same task more than once but…
make sure the evidence explains how you used that skill.
E.g. if the skills is problem solving write about how in the task you did
that, if communication then write about how you used that skill.
