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: consistently applying safe and hygienic work practices, in all areas of the salon, according to salon policy, OHS legislation and state or territory health regulations. applying salon procedures for reporting faults, required repairs and problems to the relevant person interpreting and applying manufacturer instructions and safety data for storage, use and disposal of chemicals and hazardous goods applying salon procedures with regard to emergency situations, evacuation, or accident and illness in the salon. interpreting and applying product instructions and safety data sheets for mixing, using and disposal of chemicals following salon procedures to minimise water and product waste.
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 suitable equipment and materials for lifting relevant documentation, such as: product instructions product safety data sheets salon policy and procedures OHS regulations state or territory health regulations a range of cleaning products a range of professional hairdressing chemicals. 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: handling and using hairdressing chemicals safely handling hairdressing tools and equipment implementing salon safety and hygiene procedures applying self skin care practices when working with chemicals written or verbal questions appropriate to the language and literacy level of the learner to test knowledge which may include: causes and symptoms of occupational contact dermatitis common forms of occupational contact dermatitis preventative self care routines state or territory and local health regulations relating to dealing with infectious disorders of the hair and scalp 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, workplace and job role, is recommended for example: SIHHIND201A Maintain and organise tools, equipment and work areas SIHHCLS201A Apply hair colour products SIHHCLS302A Colour and lighten hair
