AIM Awards L1 Improving Own Confidence (T/504/8274)Assessment Resource Pack
About this UnitIn this unit, you will gain an understanding of the meaning of the term ‘confidence’. You will also look at different ways that you can improve your own confidence.
Using this assessment packAs you work through this pack you will identify ways to improve your own confidence. The tasks will support your learning and so it is expected that you will complete all of them and have them marked. The completed, marked exercises are the assessments on which your achievement of the L1 Improving Own Confidence unit is based.
Tracking your evidenceDuring your course your tutor/assessor will ask you to carry out work either in the classroom, or in your own time, which you’ll keep as evidence of your learning.
The work you produce (evidence) will be assessed by your tutor/assessor to make sure you’ve covered everything in sufficient detail. Your evidence could be made up of a combination of:
• written work or class notes• products or samples of practical work• case studies• learning logs• video or audio recordings• other appropriate formats suggested by your tutor/assessor
When all of your evidence is gathered together in a file or folder, this becomes your portfolio.
Your centre and assessor may have systems that they use to plan and monitor your assessment. These may be computer-based (e.g. using ‘e-portfolio’ software) or paper-based (using forms or checklists). These systems are designed to show how each piece of evidence meets which learning outcomes and assessment criteria. Reasonable adjustments can be made; for example, if you have writing difficulties, your responses can be captured orally and evidenced by audio recording.
You will be working to achieve the following learning outcomes:L1 Improving Own Confidence
