PORTFOLIO CONTENTS SHEET
The purpose of a portfolio is to keep in one place a record of evidence of all treatments or
occasions where practice and experience of techniques and ranges for the qualification
being studied, are kept.
The folder should be large enough to hold all of this evidence generated, a lever arch folder
is usually sufficient. If more than one qualification is being studied for, it is often possible to
put all of the evidence in one folder keeping it organised and clearly identified, with the use
of dividers.
To remove the need to duplicated evidence it is important to be aware that if any units of
study are replicated between qualifications being studied it is highly recommended that the
evidence is only produced once but clearly signposted for an examiner to find.

examination schedule)

Notes and guidance
Consultation
Please be aware that only general details of the client may be recorded prior to the treatment
so the therapist has time to fully demonstrate their abilities in consultation. The information
that may be completed prior to the exam process includes: Name, contact details, medical
history and medication, allergies etc.
It is not acceptable to include any information on skin analysis, skin type or conditions that
are non-medical. Nor is it acceptable to include information on current or proposed treatment
advice, or homecare. This information is to be decided upon and recorded by the practicing
therapist during the exam process.
Marks will be lost by any therapist who has a client with too much information recorded on
the consultation card prior to the commencement of the exam.
Figure diagnosis
• All figure diagnosis knowledge will be assessed in the written paper, orally in the
practical exam and evidenced as present in the client records for the portfolio.
• CIBTAC examiners do not expect to see a full figure diagnosis for the Award in Body
Massage but will be expecting to see during consultation, that any postural or figure
faults established are recorded and that during treatment the therapist completes a
visual and tactile assessment of the area prior to treatment.
