You should create, maintain and present a well organised portfolio of evidence - a Personal and Professional Development Portfolio.

The portfolio should contain a record of the personal development planning tasks and activities that you have undertaken over the duration of this year as well as a review of the outcomes from this. A range of methods and techniques should be applied, as outlined below.
The activities provided in the units classroom sessions, should provide ample opportunities for you to generate and gather the required evidence of achievement.
Using a range of classroom based activities and your own research; you are required to diagnose your development needs. Each of these diagnostic tools should be included within the final portfolio.
Create a report exploring why you chose your particular objectives; within this include:
