Decisions on whether a student has achieved the learning outcomes are to be made on the evidence provided by the student in their CAS portfolio in addition to information gathered during CAS interviews.

The use of evidence to demonstrate the achievement of the CAS learning outcomes is essential to a student’s CAS programme. To provide evidence, the students must understand what the CAS learning outcomes are, what each CAS learning outcome means and represents in CAS, and what types of evidence would be deemed mutually satisfactory by the student and the CAS coordinator.
