Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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 the principles of cosmetic chemistry in beauty therapy treatments, including:

chemical concepts for cosmetic products and skin treatments

range of organic chemistry applicable to cosmetic chemistry

percutaneous absorption

chemical formulation of range of cosmetic emulsions in relation to their function on skin

formulation and functions of basic compositions of facial masks and make-up

formulation, function and action of cosmetic ingredients on skin

formulation and function of facial peels and exfoliants

provision of post-treatment care and advice

applying a range of beauty therapy treatments, using a variety of techniques and procedures involving cosmetic 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

treatment products from a professional range

relevant workplace documentation including:

manufacturer's equipment instructions

product instructions

manufacturer safety data sheets

workplace policies and procedures manuals

a range of clients with different beauty 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 the concepts of cosmetic chemistry and developing and maintaining safe work practices

relating principles of cosmetic chemistry to a variety of treatment processes, according to client and safety requirements

written and oral questioning appropriate to the language and literacy level of the learner, to assess knowledge and understanding of the application of cosmetic chemistry to the performance of beauty therapy treatments, including after-care advice and relevant legislation

completion of workplace documentation relevant to beauty therapy treatments

third-party reports from technical experts.

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

SIBBBOS402A Provide body treatments
