Qualification -
Unit of Competency CUAMUP502 - Design and apply specialised make-up
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to provide specialised make-up services for productions in the screen, media and entertainment industries.It applies to individuals in senior roles who apply make-up creatively, to enhance the ability of actors to portray characters, and conduct thorough background research to ensure characters are accurately represented. They work alone or, on large-scale productions, they could be responsible for supervising others.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

make-up products and equipment

productions requiring specialised make-up

make-up reference materials.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
