For candidates, assessors and centre staff.
Every piece of evidence has a status that shows where it is in the assessment process. This guide explains what each status means and what you can do at each stage. The buttons you see depend on your role and your relationship to the portfolio.
Before submission
| Status | What it means | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| DRAFT | The evidence is linked to a plan you've created that hasn't been sent to your assessor for approval yet. |
|
| PROPOSED | The evidence is linked to a plan that isn't active yet. | View only. The plan needs to be accepted by you, or approved by your assessor if you created it. |
| EMPTY | The plan has been accepted or approved, but the evidence hasn't been started. |
|
| PREPARING | The evidence is being prepared. |
|
| ABANDONED | The evidence is no longer needed in the portfolio. | Activate: open the evidence and click Activate to bring it back. |
During assessment
| Status | What it means | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| PRESENTED | The evidence is waiting to be assessed. | Undo Evidence Submission: take the evidence back. You can only do this until your assessor starts assessing it. |
| ASSESSING | The assessor has started assessing the evidence. | Nothing to do yet. |
| ASSESSED | The assessment is done and the assessor is preparing feedback. | Nothing to do yet. |
| SECOND-LINE ASSESSING | Another assessor is checking the assessment decision before it's sent to the candidate. This is part of quality assurance. See Second-Line Assessment of Evidence. | Nothing to do yet. |
| FEEDBACK GIVEN | The feedback is ready for the candidate to read and accept. | Accept: accept the feedback. If the decision is competent, the evidence counts towards the candidate's progress on the Portfolio Front Page. See Accepting Feedback. If the candidate needs more explanation or wants to appeal, they shouldn't click Accept. Instead, they can send their assessor a message. The assessor can't accept feedback for the candidate. |
| ACTION REQUIRED | The evidence has been assessed, but more work is needed. | Link Evidence, Prepare Written Questions / Answer Questions, Files and Submit Now For Assessment, as for Preparing. |
After assessment
| Status | What it means | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| ASSESSMENT COMPLETE | A positive assessment decision has been accepted. |
|
| COMPETENT CONTRIBUTES TOWARDS ACCEPTED | The assessment is complete and nothing more is needed. The evidence may still be sampled by the IQA. | Nothing to do. |
