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:

planning and negotiating with other production team members, to take into account any cultural or physical requirements, and to ensure model or performer comfort and safety throughout the presentation

sourcing and organising equipment and props, including garments for a platform presentation

applying the elements and principles of design and a broad range of technical hairdressing skills to create creative, contemporary and period hair designs

applying a range of classic and current hair designs on short, medium and long hair in short turnaround times

applying relevant occupational health and safety and health regulation requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

session styling settings, such as events, film sets, photographic studios or platform work

library, internet and film media research sources

a range of hairdressing products, equipment, hair accessories, props and audiovisual resources

relevant occupational health and safety and health regulations.

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 performing a range of tasks in session styling environments, over sufficient time to demonstrate their handling of a range of contingencies. Tasks may include:

researching and planning for a hair show, sourcing models, garments, props and equipment and conducting rehearsals where required

designing and applying finished looks, incorporating colour, chemical reformation and haircutting or design services according to an agreed plan

responding to a creative brief to lead a small team completing hair designs for a fashion parade

case studies that involve researching and planning and creating period hair styles for filming or a catwalk event

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:

SIHHHCS410A Design and perform creative haircuts

SIHHHDS406A Design and apply creative long hair designs

SIHHHDS407A Apply and maintain wigs and hairpieces
