Evidence First workshop pack (30 minutes)
The pack has three parts from one versioned source (edition 1.1): a facilitator guide for a 30-minute session, a blank worksheet with the criterion, stage, state and evidence columns, and three fully completed fictional examples with explanations of why each answer works, one of them a Level 3 apprenticeship applicant for post-16 groups. Participants can work on paper and continue online with the requirement-evidence workbench through an ordinary link; nothing about a participant is encoded in the link, and completed worksheets stay with the participant.
Direct downloads: no account, email address or payment. Formats: Word, Word, Word.
What is inside
- Facilitator guide: aims, room needs, a minute-by-minute plan, the two limit sentences to say aloud, and what to do when a participant has no advert.
- Blank worksheet: criterion, essential or desirable, stage (application or interview), category, my evidence, state, words; plus the three evidence questions.
- Completed examples: a fictional NHS Band 4 administrator, a fictional Civil Service EO and a fictional Level 3 business administration apprentice (evidence from school, a Saturday job and volunteering), each with an explanation of the choices rather than a universal winning statement.
- Post-16 note in the facilitator guide: school, part-time and volunteering evidence counts when true; predicted grades are stated as predicted.
- Return link: luceria.careers/tools/requirement-evidence, with no participant data in it.
How to use it
- Print the blank worksheet for the room, or share the link; participants bring one advert they care about.
- Follow the facilitator guide; each participant maps three criteria and writes one truthful example in 30 minutes.
- Point participants to the online workbench to continue; any import of their own completed sheet is a separate, confirmed step.
- Record the delivery date and participant count for your own reporting; Luceria receives nothing about participants.
Why it is built this way
- One source record generates every format so an edition number identifies when guidance changed.
- Examples are fictional and explained; a universal winning statement does not exist and would mislead.
- No QR code encodes participant identity; the return link is the public tool page.
Accessibility
The Word file uses true heading styles, a single column and real text only: no tables, text boxes or images carry meaning, so screen readers and parsers follow the same structure a sighted reader sees. Guidance notes are plain text in grey italics and are meant to be deleted. This page summarises what the file contains.

Common questions
Can participants' completed worksheets be uploaded to Luceria?
Not from the pack. A participant can type their own evidence into the online workbench; any future import would show a preview and require confirmation.
Is the NHS example a real application?
No. All three examples are fictional, labelled as such, and exist to show the reasoning.
Is the pack suitable for a sixth form or college group?
Yes for post-16 learners applying for apprenticeships or jobs: Example 3 is a Level 3 apprenticeship, and the facilitator guide explains how school, part-time and volunteering evidence counts. It is not written for Key Stage 3 or 4.
