CACHE Level 3 is a competence-based qualification, which means knowledge alone doesn’t complete it \u2014 you also need evidenced practice, gathered through supervised placement hours and organized into a portfolio. This is often the part of the course that feels most disorganized to students, since it runs on a completely different track from written assignments, and it’s easy to fall behind on placement evidence while focused on coursework deadlines (or vice versa). This guide explains what actually counts as valid portfolio evidence, how to organize it efficiently, and how to avoid the most common pitfalls that delay students at the final stage of their course.<\/p>\n
