THE SHN PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO

WHAT IS A PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO?
A Professional Portfolio gives recognition to your knowledge, skills, training and professional development.  It details a persons specific abilities and experience.

WHY SHOULD I DEVELOP A PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO?
It will give you credibility and enable you to keep track of your individual achievements.  A professional Portfolio makes a clear statement about you as an individual.  It shows others that you are organised, value your personal and professional development and are able to evaluate your abilities.  It is a useful tool that can be used in a variety of ways including career planning, identifying personal growth and when preparing for appraisal interviews.

HOW WILL THE SHN PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO DISTANCE LEARNING PACK HELP ME?
This distance learning pack will help you to recognise your strengths, identify areas that you can build on and develop your inter-personal skills.  It will assist you to consider and plan your future personal and professional development, and help you to expand on the knowledge and skills you already have as well as obtaining new skills.

DOES THIS LEAD TO A QUALIFICATION?
Although your Professional Portfolio will not be a qualification in its own right, the information it will contain will demonstrate specific skills and abilities you have and any vocational training and study you have undertaken.  This could be taken into consideration by educational institutions as 'prior experiential learning' which could qualify for credits towards future vocational study and qualifications.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO PRODUCE MY PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO?
Initially, you will need to spend a short period of time working through some basic and straightforward exercises to set up your professional portfolio.  The pack is designed to be 'user friendly' and the exercises are aimed to allow the individual to work at their own pace.  Once you have worked through your Professional Portfolio pack, you will be able to expand on this in a way you feel most appropriate to meet your specific needs.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
The Professional Portfolio distance learning pack costs £55.00 inclusive of postage and packing.  Alternately, you can enrol on our one-day induction programme which will help you to set up your professional portfolio at a cost of £75 [includes the cost of the Professional Portfolio distance learning pack].
