Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the following is essential

analysing and interpreting finished looks and the components of haircut structures

developing simple line drawings representing finished haircut designs

producing D representations showing interior and exterior design lines indicating soft or hard lines starting point of haircut sectioning and parting patterns degree of lift distribution of hair and structural graphic

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

analysis sheets

a variety of hair design illustrations and examples with different haircut requirements

Method of assessment

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

direct observation of the learner

interpreting illustrations to show haircut technique requirements

producing simple line drawings that accurately show

the structural graphic

interior and exterior straight and curved design lines and directions of design lines that are relevant to the desired finished haircut

starting points sectioning and parting patterns

degree of lift angles

distribution of hair

written or verbal questions appropriate to the language and literacy level of the learner to test knowledge which include

elements and principles of design

geometric principles related to angles and shapes

salon procedures

review of portfolios of evidence and thirdparty reports of onthejob performance

Guidance information for assessment

A unit of competency describes an individual skill but people rarely perform one skill at a time Many skills are combined on a daytoday basis in the workplace as part of work processes This does not mean that each skill described by a unit of competency is prerequisite to another they are related skills

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