Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I digitise my PoE process?
Digital PoE eliminates paper storage costs, reduces lost documents, provides automatic audit trails, enables learner self-upload, allows remote assessment, and makes evidence retrieval instant during audits.

Learners access a self-service portal where they can upload documents, photos, and files directly to their PoE. Each upload is automatically categorised by module or unit standard and timestamped for audit purposes.
Is digital PoE accepted by QCTO and SETAs?
Yes, both QCTO and SETAs accept digital Portfolios of Evidence. The key requirement is that evidence is authentic, accessible, and verifiable—which skillSYMS ensures through secure storage, access logs, and version history.
