I've just come back from phase 4, and due to start phase 5 soon at STC, when we were given our portfolio's at the end of phase 1, it was pretty much ' here you go, bring it back finished in 2 years'..
As a result of this everyone in my phase has done there own thing, I have myself, kept a log book every day of the work I do, with PLENTY of photos for evidence, things like PPE used, systems worked on (this is an engineers portfolio by the way), etc, I have also got one workbook that I kept from my 2nd last ship, unfortunatly we were not told these could be good evidence for the MCA orals so I binned them all, whenever I completed a task it was included in my daily log with photos, how i did the task, what precautions i took etc, roughly a paragraph to a page long depending on the task.
My worry is, is this enough evidence for my oral examinations? I only recentely found out we need to make lengthy reports for each task we do, and my fear is that the MCA will reject my portfolio and ask me to re-start it from scratch..
