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 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, razors and combs effectively to create men's haircuts. They must demonstrate the ability to consistently and methodically approach and perform men's haircuts. They must also demonstrate the consistent ability to cut short, medium and long tapered designs, square neckline shapes, flat and spiked tops, along with knowledge and skills in finishing techniques for men's haircuts.

Specific evidence requirements

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

pre-haircutting service analysis on a variety of clients

demonstrated ability to use haircutting tools to combine haircut structures for a variety of haircut looks including:

short back and sides

short, medium and long tapered haircuts

medium fashion cut spiked on top

medium style cut with square back

flat top (crew)

outlining haircuts using:

clippers

scissors

neck shaving techniques

safe application of a variety of haircutting tools and techniques

demonstrated ability to consistently apply finishing techniques to enhance haircuts

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 with a variety of haircut requirements

finishing tools and equipment.

Relationship to other units

This unit requires an assessment outcome that includes evidence of the ability to design and combine haircut structures and apply a wide variety of haircutting techniques to achieve different haircut designs.
