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.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

selecting and mixing hair colours and textures to blend with client’s natural hair

using a hair extension system to apply hair extension services to full and partial head

removing and adjusting existing hair extensions

applying haircutting and finishing techniques to blend hair extensions with natural hair for finished designs.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

a salon or a simulated salon environment that includes a range of work situations such as client interruptions and involvement in other related activities normally expected in the salon

an adjustable client chair

clean client gown or wrap

a supply of clean towels

a hair extension system that includes hair, bonding products and tools

clients with a range of hair extension requirements

haircutting tools and equipment

finishing tools and equipment

relevant documentation, such as:

manufacturer hair extension system manuals that include product and equipment information

salon procedures.

For further guidance on the use of an appropriate simulated environment, refer to the Assessment Guidelines in this Training Package.

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 observation of the learner:

selecting and mixing hair colours and textures to blend with client’s natural hair

removing and adjusting existing hair extensions

using a hair extension system to apply hair extension services for full and partial head

applying haircutting and finishing techniques to blend hair extensions with natural hair for finished designs

written or verbal questions appropriate to the language and literacy level of the learner to test knowledge such as:

the types of hair and synthetic fibres used in hair extensions

maintenance requirements for hair extensions

relevant salon procedures

review of portfolios of evidence and third-party reports of on-the-job performance.

Guidance information for assessment

A unit of competency describes an individual skill but people rarely perform one skill at a time. Many skills are combined on a day-to-day basis in the workplace as part of work processes. This does not mean that each skill described by a unit of competency is prerequisite to another— they are related skills.

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

SIHHCCS302A Perform a full client consultation

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

interpersonal skills to interact with clients

communication skills to:

interact with clients

consult with clients during preservice analysis

check client comfort during the hair extension process

confirm client satisfaction with hair extension results

literacy skills to interpret and follow manufacturer’s hair extension system instructions

technical skills to:

select, mix and apply hair extensions

remove existing hair extensions

safely use and apply a hair extensions system, including:

human, animal or synthetic hair

bonding products

application and removal tools and equipment

apply haircutting techniques to blend hair extensions and natural hair

Required knowledge

hair extension system, including its components and applications

the types of hair and synthetic fibres used in hair extensions

maintenance requirements for hair extensions

relevant salon procedures

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
