Our Website

This website has been established to serve anyone interested in the quality of Recording Achievement, Personal Development Planning and ePortfolios.

For the past 25 years, there has been increasing use of a range of ways of encouraging individual learners to identify, articulate and evidence their learning and experience to add to and enrich examination qualifications.

A key benefit is for learners to reflect on this and to plan the next step in learning or employment on the basis of clearer information.
