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 posttreatment care and advice

applying knowledge of principles of the bodys 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

threedimensional 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 homecare 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 homecare advice

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

thirdparty reports from technical experts

completion of selfpaced 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
