IABC Accreditation: Portfolio Work Samples

Your work samples are tangible evidence of your knowledge of organizational communication. They account for one-third of your portfolio score and will be reviewed to evaluate how well they meet professional standards. At least one work sample must accompany each statement of objectives and results.

In evaluating the samples, reviewers look for a balance between form and content. Some samples may contain only form or content—a photo essay or news release, for example. If this occurs, they will be evaluated only in those terms.

  • Does the sample follow the objectives in terms of form and content?
  • Does the sample demonstrate quality and professionalism?
  • Are the work samples appropriate for audiences?
  • Do the work samples clearly communicate the desired messages?
