Assessment 3 FAQs
1. Do my competencies have to exclusively draw from skills I have developed as a psychology graduate, or can I draw on other skills I have developed outside of my degree or from previous degrees, like professional work?
For this assessment, aim your CV at a role or course of study that you could do based on your psychology qualification. Identify the competencies that you think are important for that role or course, and then include evidence that you meet those competencies based both on your current studies and any other relevant skills / knowledge that you hold from other outside your psychology qualification
