What evidence do you have to support your claim of competence? Where is this evidence located in the respective grids below?:
| Evidence of competence Assessment Stage One | Location |
| Made a speech about "the effects of global warming" in an inter-school public speaking competition . (Certificate and comment in school report) | In 'Evidence folder' (ref: C6) |
| Presented a "captains report" to my fellow team mates at rugby club dinner (Rough copy of notes) | At home |
| Evidence of competence Assessment Stage Two | Location |

Comments
- The first piece of evidence supports the statement the student has made regarding his or her level of competence in this skill.
- The first piece of evidence - certificate and school report - is authenticated i.e. supported by relevant and reliable documentation.
- The first piece of evidence is clearly referenced.
- The second piece of evidence does not appear to support the statement claimed, e.g. the audience appears to be familiar and the subject straightforward.
- The second piece of evidence - rough copy of notes - cannot be readily authenticated.
- The evidence is not referenced and the location is too vague.
- There is a lack of sufficiency i.e. enough evidence to support the claim of competence. He or she needs to show that they can repeat this skill.
Conclusion: this student should have claimed the next lower statement of competence (statement B). He or she needs further appropriate evidence to support the first piece of evidence cited.
