Abstract
In this chapter you will find practical advice on how to develop a framework for completing your profile. There is information on cross-referencing, layout and presentation. Because writing is an essential part of the process, you will find information on how to develop your writing skills. We also include suggestions on how to write clear statements of competence to support examples of what you can do, together with advice on how to present your work in a way which can be easily understood and assessed by others.
This chapter has been designed to enable you to work at your own pace. You can move backwards and forwards within it, according to which aspect of your profile you are working on. Although we have included activities and practical materials, you will find additional resources in the Annotated Bibliography.
