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.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
apply hair, make-up and costuming for at least two performances
recreate hair and make-up designs on consecutive occasions
meet production requirements in a timely manner
select and apply appropriate hair and make-up products using correct application and removal techniques

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
an environment where different types of styles and designs for hair, make-up and costumes can be applied, modified, repaired and maintained within commercially realistic timeframes
relevant products and equipment.
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 questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence
third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance
verbal or written questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit
case studies and scenarios as a basis for discussion of issues and challenges that arise in the context of preparing personal appearance for performances
direct observation of the candidate styling hair, applying and removing make-up, and repairing and laundering costumes in a production context.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
CUSOHS301A Follow occupational health and safety procedures.
