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!

Apply scissor over-comb techniques.

  1. Scissor over-comb techniques are applied in a logical sequence and pattern and with a continuous comb and scissoring action to theexterior of the haircut.
  2. Position of head and neck is adjusted during service for desired access and application of technique.
  3. Taper effect is varied by application of scissors over the fine or coarse end of the comb for a variety of neckline shapes and lengths.
  4. Scissors and comb are applied at various angles to blend structures in the interior and exterior of the haircut.

  2. Clippers are used to outline sideburns where indicated by the planned finish.
  3. Necklines are lathered and skin is stretched and shaved in the direction of hair growth to ensure a smooth result without discomfort to the skin.
  4. Client comfort and safety are ensured during each stage.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide describes the underpinning knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated to prove competence. It is essential for assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, the range statement and the assessment guidelines of the relevant Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit of competency must be able to select and use scissors, clippers and combs effectively to create tapered effects. They must demonstrate an ability to consistently and methodically approach and perform tapered haircuts. They must also demonstrate the ability to cut short, medium and long tapered designs, along with knowledge and skill in finishing techniques for layered haircuts.

Specific evidence requirements

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

consistently selecting tools and tapering techniques appropriate to the planned finish

maintaining hands and cutting tools parallel to the exterior design line when applying over-comb techniques

positioning the head and neck and making any necessary adjustments during service to achieve planned layering effects

consistently using over-comb techniques to blend in tapered area and other areas of haircut

consistently outlining tapered haircuts using clippers and or shaving techniques as required.

Context of assessment

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, competency should be consistently demonstrated over a period of time and observed by the assessor and/or the technical expert working in partnership with the assessor. The technical expert may include the hairdresser and/or an experienced person at the workplace.

Competency should be demonstrated in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment in a range of situations that may include client interruptions and involvement in other related activities normally expected in the workplace. For further guidance on the use of an appropriate simulated environment, refer to the Assessment Guidelines in this Training Package.

Specific resources for assessment

Competency for this unit should be assessed through access to:

a salon or simulated salon environment

haircutting tools and equipment

clients or hair wefts

finishing tools and equipment.

Relationship to other units

This unit requires an assessment outcome that includes evidence of the ability to analyse and plan tapered haircut structures and to prepare, select and safely apply haircutting tools.

Prerequisite unit:

WRHCS201A Prepare clients for salon services.

Co-requisite unit:

WRHHC301A Design haircut structures.

Method of assessment

The following assessment method is suggested.

Observation of the learner performing a range of tasks in an actual or simulated work environment, over sufficient time to demonstrate his/her handling of a range of contingencies. Tasks may include:

developing plans for tapered haircut structures

applying over-comb techniques

applying finishing techniques to tapered haircuts.

Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered through a range of methods to indicate consistent performance.

It can be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone, through an integrated assessment activity or through a combination of both.

Evidence should be gathered as part of the learning process.
