Recognise body structures and systems in a beauty therapy context

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes beauty therapy practice in beauty salons and spas and applies to beauty therapists exercising judgement in planning and selecting appropriate products, services, equipment and techniques.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply an understanding of body structure, systems and terminology in the context of identifying and analysing client needs, performing beauty therapy treatments, and providing post-treatment service and advice.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

applying knowledge of structure and functions of anatomy and physiology as they apply to beauty therapy treatments

applying basic anatomical terminology to development of treatment plan, performance of beauty treatment and provision of post-treatment care and advice

applying knowledge of principles of the body's systems as they apply to beauty therapy treatments

applying knowledge of anatomy and physiology to:

analyse and identify client requirements and needs

develop and record treatment plan, including:

areas requiring special treatment

range of appropriate treatments and application of relevant techniques

review of previous treatments

evaluating client requirements and advising client on future treatments, home care and complementary products

accurately and legibly recording relevant data.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

that competency is consistently demonstrated over a period of time and observed by the assessor or the technical expert working in partnership with the assessor as described in the Assessment Guidelines

that competency is demonstrated in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment in a range of real work situations which may include client interruptions and involvement in other related activities normally expected in the workplace.

Assessment must ensure access to:

text and online resources

three-dimensional models

a range of clients with different physical characteristics and treatment requirements.

For further guidance on the use of an appropriate simulated environment, refer to the Assessment Guidelines in this Training Package.

Methods of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

observation of learners performing a range of tasks in the workplace or a simulated work environment, over sufficient time to demonstrate handling of a range of contingencies, including:

identifying client characteristics and developing a treatment plan according to client needs

performing a beauty therapy treatment according to client requirements

providing advice on home-care products according to client needs

written and oral questioning appropriate to the language and literacy level of the learner, to assess knowledge and understanding of anatomy and physiology as they relate to planning and providing beauty therapy treatments, including home-care advice

completion of workplace documentation relevant to the provision of beauty therapy treatments

third-party reports from technical experts

completion of self-paced learning materials, including personal reflection and feedback from trainer, coach or supervisor.

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

SIBBBOS401A Perform body massage

SIBBBOS402A Provide body treatments

SIBBBOS403A Perform aromatherapy massage

SIBBCCS405A Develop treatment plans

SIBBFAS404A Provide facial treatments

SIBBFAS405A Provide advanced facial treatments.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

The following skills must be assessed as part of this unit:

literacy skills to source, read, comprehend and apply relevant information on anatomy and physiology of the human body in a beauty therapy service context

communication skills to translate information on anatomy and physiology of the human body when providing advice, responding to questions, and providing information and reassurance to clients on beauty therapy services.

Required knowledge

The following knowledge must be assessed as part of this unit:

terminology of anatomy and physiology as it relates to beauty treatments

anatomy and physiology in relation to beauty therapy treatments, including:

structural levels of organisation in study of anatomy and physiology

functions of internal transportation systems of body

gas exchange that occurs within respiratory system

role of nervous system

role of skeletal system

role of muscular system

the following body systems in regard to their interdependence and purpose in relation to a healthy body and their relationship to the skin, muscles and nerves:

skeletal and muscular, including muscle contractility and motor points

nervous system and its relationship to skin sensations

lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems and their relationship to skin function, including thermoregulation and homeostasis

endocrine and reproductive systems in relationship to hormonal influences on skin

appearance and management of contraindications and adverse effects.
