Add information on Questioning techniques & Written communication to the booklet / report on interpersonal skills.

This could be evidenced by the use of observation by tutors or others which should be supported by documentary evidence. There must be at least three examples of the use of effective interpersonal skills and the learner should identify the situations they are evidencing and why they thought the skills were appropriate.

Look in the student book for some helpful information on Question Types & Written communication.

Unit 1 - P3 - Discuss Potential Barriers to Effective Communication




To communicate effectively, you need to prevent or reduce the effect of communication barriers as much
as possible. For example, for an audience to hear you, your voice should be clear and loud enough, without
any distortion or interference. Therefore, it is important not to position the mouthpiece of a telephone under your chin and, in direct communication, you should face your audience.


- Barriers to effective communication (e.g. language, distraction, noise, lack of concentration)
