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:

conducting research on technological developments with respect to the application of cosmetic light and laser systems, emerging treatment protocols and ideas

analysing, critiquing and synthesising complex information sources to develop own positions and ideas

applying recent issues and current regulations affecting the beauty industry in regard to the safe application of cosmetic light and laser systems in treatments

researching and documenting a personal development plan in light and laser system treatment.

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 a technical expert working in partnership with the assessor as described in the Assessment Guidelines

that competency is demonstrated in or a simulated workplace environment in a range of situations which may include interruptions and involvement in other related activities normally expected in the workplace.

Assessment must ensure access to:

a current and varied range of familiar and unfamiliar text and online information sources

the opportunity to participate actively in relevant industry associations

the opportunity to participate in, and contribute to, discussion through conferences, meetings, seminars, courses and journals

professional development and other learning opportunities in the cosmetic application of light technologies

current literature, including specialist journals and industry magazines related to developments in the cosmetic application of light technologies.

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:

evaluation of research undertaken by candidate in terms of scope, depth and the level of critical thinking applied
