SUCCESS CRITERIA

You must establish exactly what you intend to achieve so that, at the end of the project, you will know whether or not you have achieved it. In some instances this will be relatively simple in that your learning process will be aimed at passing an examination or gaining a qualification. In other instances, your target will be to achieve the approval of others through gaining promotion or achieving a particular level of annual appraisal. If you are following the requirements of a professional body you may well have to gain a particular number of units.

The most complex instance is where you will have to establish criteria that will be measured by yourself. For this reason, it is always best to find an impartial measure of your achievements. Where you really cannot, just be honest with yourself.

Evidence of such achievement can be demonstrated in various ways as illustrated below.
