I must congratulate you's on how you manage your 'Trainees portfolio's, there are so many times when the guys that need their evidence to gradually build up their portfolio, have to beg,scream,kick and threaten before zero hour arrives.
As you have informed Up North, there has to be a verifiable, cross reference of data collated, to enable the candidate to successfully produce a comphrehensive portfolio that covers all the Scaffolding tasks that needs to be covered.
Up North, keep a copy or Two of your Portfolio, either scanned and printed,disc, memory stick or all of the above. I did my Advanced, and my portfolio got lost:notrust: had to gather it all again.
Good luck mate
