HABC Level 2 Certificate in Locksmithing (QCF) 3
Introduction
Welcome to the HABC Level 2 Certificate in Locksmithing (QCF) Assessment Pack. This pack has been
put together to help learners compile and keep track of evidence to support the successful
completion of the qualification.
Assessors must ensure that the learner’s portfolio sufficiently covers all learning outcomes and
assessment criteria as defined in each unit of the qualification. All unit details are listed in the
Qualification Specification which is available to download from the HABC website.
The evidence collected to make up the portfolio will be in a variety of formats. Assessors are
responsible for ensuring learners compile their portfolio correctly by gathering evidence for each
unit that is both adequate and suitable for the requirements of the unit/qualification.
Suggested types of evidence for this qualification include the following all of which could be
gathered in the classroom, the workplace or at home:
• Observation;
• Questions;
• Products of work;
• Professional discussion;
• Witness testimonies;
• Learning logs; and
• Video or audio recordings.

Supporting Documentation - Guidance
This pack includes a number of supporting forms for Centres to use. Guidance on each of the forms
is included below. If Centres have and wish to use their own forms, these must be approved by the
Quality Support team at HABC or your EQS officer prior to running a course.
Unit Achievement Summary Sheet
The unit achievement summary sheet provides an overview of the units contained within the
qualification and permits learners, assessors and internal quality assurance officers to track progress
through the qualification. This sheet also acts to confirm learner achievement of the qualification –
certification sign off.
Specimen Signature Sheet
All individuals involved in the assessment process must sign the example specimen signature sheet.
This includes any witnesses, assessors, the learner themselves and the EQS.
Assessment/Action Plan Sheet
This action plan is an example form that assessors can use when planning with the learner what they
must achieve by the next assessment visit. These plans are to be written and agreed with the
learner, ensuring both parties are aware of what is required for the following assessment visit.
It is recommended that the appropriate Assessment Criteria the learner is intending to cover are
listed in the first column, with a planned action for the learner to complete by a set deadline in the
second and third columns. All agreed actions will be reviewed on the following assessment visit and
new actions will then be established and further action plans developed.
Assessment Record Sheet
The assessment record can be used to record all types of assessor decisions. The record can be used
for more than one type of evidence and should provide an audit trail for each visit with the learner.
The original document should be held by the Centre in a separate location to the learner’s portfolio,
in case the portfolio is lost. A copy should be placed in the learner’s portfolio so that they are aware
of progress towards the completion of the unit and/or qualification.
Evidence Tracking Sheet
These sheets are provided to help learners and assessors keep track of the progress each learner is
making in completing their portfolio. They are designed to show, at a glance, what a learner has
already covered and what there is left to do to complete a unit.
This document can also be used as a table of contents for the evidence contained in the portfolio. It
will signpost where each item of evidence is located and therefore make it easier for tutors/
assessors, IQA and EQS to check and assess.
A sample completed tracking sheet has been included for your reference. HABC has also included
tracking sheets for the units contained in this qualification.
