Portfolio
A Portfolio is a written document detailing what you have learned. It demonstrates
how that knowledge relates to and meets the requirements of the EICC course learning
objectives. The goal of the Portfolio is to demonstrate how your learning experiences
are equivalent to objectives taught in the EICC course.
Oral Interview
The awarding of the Portfolio starts with an oral interview with Dean of Adult Education
or designee. This can be done on the phone, via videoconference, or at one of the
EICC campuses. During this interview, you will talk about your goals, what your experiences
have been, and possible coursework for which you may receive credit.
