Candidate walkthrough

Open the portfolio

Create an account with email, Google, or X. On setup, choose Candidate, your state, and the national code you are actually working towards — for example CPC32420 Certificate III in Plumbing.

If an employer sent an invite code, enter it during setup. You join their crew and they can see progress. They still cannot mark you competent.

1. Sign in and finish setup.
2. Add a photo, a voice note, or a letter. Name the site, the date, and who supervised.
3. Confirm the mappings that are really your work. Reject the ones that are not.
4. Open the unit that is still a gap and do the action it names.
5. Print the pack when an assessor asks for it, or share your code from People.

What “done” means here

A suggested link is a guess from the words and the photo. Confirmed means a person said yes, this evidence belongs on that element. Competent means an assessor recorded it. Those are three different states. Do not treat the first as the third.

Rules of evidence still apply: valid for the unit, sufficient for the element, authentic (it is your work), and current (this portfolio treats about three years as current and still shows older pieces rather than hiding them).

Tokens

Asking the portfolio a question, or pressing Read with AI, spends tokens from your own monthly cap. The rules mapper does not. If the cap is used up, mapping from keywords still runs. An admin can raise your cap without raising anyone else’s.
