An introduction into OneFile

Why are you creating a portfolio of evidence?

• To progress in my chosen career

• To meet the requirements of my EPA

• To help me demonstrate occupational competency

• It's a requirement of all Exeter Universities degrees

Which of the following is not one of the main uses for OneFile during your DTS apprenticeship?

• Tracking 20% Off-the-job training

• Submit assignments online

• Evidence against KSBs

• Saves your businesses tons of time and money

• Tripartite/Progress Review Meetings (TRMs)

OneFile also provides a number of features which are not relevant to DTS, so these can be ignored. One example is

• Tripartite/Progress Review Meetings (TRMs)

• Tracking 20% Off-the-job training

• Storing your regular journal

• Keeping Evidence of your KSBs

Which of the following does not cover the various workplace activities which are eligible for the 20% OTJ component of the programme:

 

• • Weekly E-learning  & Workshop days from term 1 and term 2

• • Any shadowing that you may undertake in the workplace in order to gain new relevant knowledge/skills

• Training courses that your employer may send you on that are relevant to the KSBs of the programme

• Updating your journal

• Your normal working hours

To log your OTJ hours Select a Category e.g. Online Learning and ensure the “Off-the-Job” checkbox is ticked (pictured). Add a suitable description (this can be brief). Don’t forget to add a start time and duration (both hours & minutes) for the entry. Note that it is not necessary to breakdown OTJ time into specific granular items, so you can add a single timesheet entry of the hours for your assigned study day. What is the minimum amount of hours for your assigned study day that you can log as OTJ?

The DTS programme requires that Apprentices provide evidence against the KSBs, which helps demonstrate that they have gained the necessary skills, knowledge and behaviours throughout the programme.

THIS IS IMPORTANT. OneFile provides a mechanism to submit & approve evidence via the Declaration & Signatures section of an evidence entry. WHAT MUST YOU NOT DO?

• Evidence entries should NOT be marked as “Signed on Completion”

• Evidence entries should be marked as “Signed on Completion”

OneFile provides a mechanism to submit & approve evidence via the Declaration & Signatures section of an evidence entry.

• Agree The DTS programme does NOT require evidence to be approved in this way, so evidence entries should NOT be marked as “Signed on Completion”.

• Disagree The DTS programme does require evidence to be approved in this way, so evidence entries should be marked as “Signed on Completion”.
