INTRODUCTIONThis Portfolio Development Guide has been developed
as a tool to assist individuals in their pursuit of the
Certified International Trade Professional (CITP)
designation through Prior Learning Assessment and
Recognition (PLAR). A successful Portfolio will provide
an individual the opportunity to apply to FITT for
equivalent FITTskills credit(s) based on past experience,
professional development and/or education. You can
apply to receive credit for one or more of the eight
FITTskills courses.
PORTFOLIO
ASSESSMENT - FAQSWhat is a Portfolio?
A Portfolio submitted to FITT is a record of your
learning gained from work experience, personal devel-
opment and/or education as it relates to internationaltrade competencies. The Portfolio is developed by you
to support your claim of competence and request for
credit(s) toward the CITP designation based on your
work experience and/or education. Please refer to the
Portfolio Checklist for a complete description of the
Portfolio contents.
Who will assess my Portfolio?
Members of the FITT Certification and Accreditation
Committee (CAC) will assess your Portfolio. The
CAC is appointed by the FITT Board of Directors
and is made up of five to seven qualified, unbiased
international trade practitioners. Assessors evaluate
each submission according to the CITP competencies
which are mapped to the FITTskills program.
What if I am not satisfied with the assessment
of my Portfolio?
If a credit applied for is not granted, the CAC will
identify the areas in which you require additional
learning or experience. The reason for not granting a
credit could also be due to incomplete or insufficient
information within the Portfolio. You may re-apply for
credit at any time (fee applies). The CAC may requestadditional materials to further help demonstrate your
skills and knowledge in relation to the CITP competencies.

What are the fees to submit a Portfolio?
Your Portfolio submission must be accompanied by
a completed Request for Portfolio Assessment
application form and payment by cheque, money
order, Visa or Mastercard in the amount of $275.00
plus applicable taxes. This fee will include the cost of
transferring your approved credit(s).
If approved, what is my next step?
Once notified that your portfolio credits have been
approved, you will have to submit a credit transfer
application form to FITT. Your approved credits must
be claimed within twelve (12) months from the dateof approval notification. If unclaimed, credits are void
and the candidate is required to re-sumbit a Portfolio
in order to be eligible for any credits (fee applies).
How do I transfer my approved credits?
When communicating the results of your Portfolio
assessment, FITT will prompt you to submit a credit
transfer application form (this form is included inyour Portfolio Development Guide Package). The
credit transfer fee of $75 is included in your Portfolio
Assessment fees. Upon receipt of this application form,
you will be issued a transcript from FITT identifying
the credit(s) earned.
What happens after I have transferred my credits?
Depending on the FITTskills requirements you have
completed to date, you may have to complete a Professional
Exam. The Professional Examination is a closed-book,
3-hour examination involving a case study and essay
answer questions. There is no mark assigned, simply a
pass or fail grade. If you have already completed a
minimum of two (2) FITTskills Exams or Projects, you
will be exempt from writing the Professional Exam.
Please contact FITT directly with any specific
questions regarding the Professional Exam.
When can I apply for the CITPdesignation?
Once you have successfully completed
the FITTskills program through (any
combination or all of the following):
Portfolio Assessment, Classroom/Online
FITTskills courses, Transfer credits (from a
FITT Accredited Institution), Challenge Exam,
and (if required) the Professional Exam; as wellas completed a minimum of one year working in
international trade, you can apply to FITT for your
CITP Designation.

ASSESSMENT
GETTING STARTED
Before you Begin
Depending on how many credits you are applying for,
completing the Portfolio can be time consuming. Read
this document carefully and use the self assessment
section of the Competency Self-Assessment and
Evidence Grid to evaluate your knowledge of theCITP competencies. The self-evaluation process will
help you assess your strengths and weaknesses and
help to determine if you should submit a portfolio.
When making your decision to submit a portfolio keep
in mind that you must demonstrate at least 75% of the
competencies to obtain the CITP designation.
Preparing your Submission
FITT has certified international trade professionals since
1993 through the FITTskills program. The FITTskills
program satisfies the educational requirements for the
CITP designation and is based on the CITP competency
profile. The CITP is a professional designation; andindividuals who hold it demonstrate a mastery of the
aforementioned competencies. To prepare for your
Portfolio submission you must evaluate yourself against
the competencies (see Competency Self-Assessment
and Evidence Grid) and demonstrate your mastery of
the competencies through building and submitting a
Portfolio. Your Portfolio is a record of your learning
gained from work experience, personal developmentand/or education and will be evaluated by the FITT CAC.
The following steps will help you prepare your submission

STEP 1 Building Your Portfolio:
Complete the CITP competency self-assessment section
of the Competency Self-Assessment and Evidence Grid
document. One of the most difficult tasks is deciding
what to include in your Portfolio. The art of building
a Portfolio is a learning process in itself and typically
includes the following stages:
familiarization with the CITP competencies for each
FITTskills credit you are seeking (review the
Competency Self-Assessment and Evidence Grid);
a self-assessment of your abilities and your knowledge
related to the CITP competencies for which you are
seeking credit; identifying sources of help and guidance;
identifying appropriate sources of evidence;
compiling the evidence; and
presenting your Portfolio for assessment.
STEP 2 Organizing Your Portfolio:
Present your Portfolio in a professional manner. This step
is important to ensure that the CAC is able to fairlyassess your portfolio. Please follow the Portfolio
Format Guidelines to avoid unnecessary delays in
processing your submission. The way in which you
organise your Portfolio is important. The CAC
should find the Portfolio easy to follow and
evidence should be clearly labelled. The CAC
should be able to easily understand the
relevance of the evidence and it should be
directly mapped to the appropriate course
competency on the Competency Self-
Assessment and Evidence Grid.
STEP 3 Submitting Your Portfolio:
Submit a cover letter with your Request forPortfolio Assessment form, along with 10 hard
copies of all other documents to:

PORTFOLIO TIPS
Approach building your portfolio as you would
a resume and/or preparing for a comprehensivejob application.
Look professional and be organized reviewing
your portfolio should be easy for the CAC. A
well organized portfolio will demonstrate your
competencies more effectively.
Be accurate by providing the necessary background
information. Give numbers, show results, give facts;
not opinions or impressions.
Be succinct, yet descriptive. Remember you must
demonstrate your mastery of the CITP competencies.
Avoid information that does not add to your claim.
In general, quality is better than quantity.
Show your mastery of the competencies read
the CITP competencies to make sure yourevidence demonstrates your mastery of the
competencies.
Do not duplicate information.
Use the Competency Self-Assessment and
Evidence Grid as a tool to refer to supporting
documentation which applies to more than
one credit.
We recommend two to five pages of evidence for
each core competency.
To keep your submission manageable and within
the page limitations, you may want to provide a
summary list, with a brief point form description
for work related reports and projects that support
your claim instead of including full documents, the
CAC will request more detail as necessary.
Providing evidence for education or professional
development can be more concrete, for example
course descriptions, transcripts and program
outlines can be useful as evidence.
Providing evidence for professional experience
will require additional details to demonstrate your
competence such as report summaries, jobdescriptions, a summary of special projects, letters
of reference and performance appraisals for
example.

EVIDENCE FOR YOUR
PORTFOLIOCompetence is being able to perform to the profes-sional standard required for the CITP designation.
Your evidence must demonstrate that you can apply
this knowledge in international trade.
The amount of evidence required will depend on a
number of factors. Minimum would be two items of
evidence per competency, provided this met the
competency criteria outlined within the evidence gridfor each course you are applying for credit. A single
item of evidence is unlikely to demonstrate your
competence in a particular area. A number of items
collected over a period of time may be required.
Is there evidence of knowledge and application?
Knowledge and application are critical to competent
performance. You must be able to demonstrate thatyou have the appropriate supporting knowledge and
understanding related to the CITP competencies. The
CAC may want to ask you some questions when you
submit your Portfolio to verify knowledge and
understanding relating to the CITP competencies
which you are seeking. FITT will notify you if further
information is required.
Authenticity of the evidence in your Portfolio
The CAC must be sure that all of the evidence is your
own work. It may be necessary for the CAC to ask
questions about the evidence that you have provided
or to collect further evidence in order to confirm that
the content of your Portfolio is authentic.
Letter of Verification
In some cases a Letter of Verification would help
confirm the authenticity of your evidence. Please see
the Forms section of this document for a Letter of
Verification template that you can use.
Letters of Verification can provide an indirect, authen-
ticated account of your performance in the world ofinternational trade, as it relates to the specific CITP
competencies for the course(s) you are seeking credit.
PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT GUIDE 10
8/8/2019 2009 Portfolio Development Guide
11/25
They may be collected from colleagues, supervisors,
managers, customers or suppliers. Letters of
Verification should:
be specific to the competencies in question give a brief description of the circumstances and
context of the observation
give a brief description of the background and
qualifications of the individual signing your Letter
of Verification (verifier)
give a brief background of the observed activity
identify aspects of the competence demonstrated
and how this relates to the CITP competencybeing requested
Letters of Verification may be used in a variety of
ways in attesting to your performance. Sometimes
they may simply authenticate a piece of work as having
been produced by you. In other cases, they may
provide an account of your performance and include
comment on it in relation to the CITP competencies.It is important that verifiers are familiar with the
competencies being assessed, and are able to comment
authoritatively on your performance and competence
in those areas.
Sufficient Evidence
Sufficient evidence has been achieved if:
all of the competencies within each of the
FITTskills courses that you are applying for credit
have been correctly addressed; your evidence is authentic;
your performance is consistent and can be
demonstrated over a period of time;
you can demonstrate that you have the relevant
knowledge and understanding and can apply it to
international trade; and
you have included 2 - 5 pages of evidence for each
competency within the FITTskills course you arerequesting a credit for.
Types of Evidence
The best practice in the assessment of prior learning
indicates that diverse sources of evidence should be
used to support ones claim of competence. Each
credit has a list of identified competencies to be met
with at least 2 - 5 types of evidence (documentation)from any of the categories below to support your
request for credit.
