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 following is essential: documented specialised make-up designs that demonstrate an ability to: use make-up to enhance characterisation select appropriate products and application techniques incorporate colour design principles into make-up designs take production environment into account when designing make-up meet production requirements consistent application of local health and hygiene requirements/regulations in relation to make-up services consistent application of OHS practices in regard to the provision of make-up services correct make-up product application and removal techniques attention to detail collaborative approach to work ability to communicate effectively with performers/talent in relation to make-up application. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: practical demonstration of skills through a range of make-up design and application tasks for at least two productions access to a range of make-up products and equipment as listed in the range statement access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed. |
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 and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance evaluation of make-up plans prepared by the candidate to determine whether production requirements have been met and correct procedures and make-up products have been identified observation of the candidate applying make-up in a production context written or verbal questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit and to evaluate the processes used in developing and realising creative concepts. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: BSBOHS407A Monitor a safe workplace CUFMUP502A Design and apply special make-up effects. CUFMUP503A Create prosthetics for special make-up effects. |
