This page provides some tools that can be used to demonstrate competence within your own portfolio. All the tools have been scrutinised by the Education Board and Competency Board Members and then ratified by the FEN Board; with most being reviewed and agreed by our Regulated Qualification Awarding Body.

We are aiming to build a repository of portfolio tools as we believe that this will standardise practice and assessment across Ireland, the UK and further afield. We welcome the opportunity to consider tools that are available in practice, so please forward to president@Fen.UK.Com.

If you or your employer has purchased an Education Bundle for you  – You can upload these completed portfolio tools and any other evidence of learning to your CPDme e-portfolio.
