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 is able to communicate, analyse, research, plan, design and then combine and apply products, tools and equipment to create finished hair designs in quick turnaround times. These applied designs may be creative, classic, current and historical; or in character for events, photographic assignments, film sets, catwalks or platform work.

The person will consistently apply advanced communication and team skills when working with other professionals such as fashion designers, photographers, photographic stylists, models and session stylists and/or hair show teams.

Relevant health regulations and occupational health and safety legislation must be consistently implemented.

Specific evidence requirements

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

ability to consistently use effective questioning and active listening techniques to negotiate appropriately with other production team members, to take into account any cultural or physical requirements, and to ensure client/model comfort and safety throughout the service

ability to source and organise equipment and props, including garments for a platform presentation

ability to present well-planned sessions to live audiences, communicate technical explanations and clearly answer audience questions regarding hairdressing techniques and designs

ability to apply the elements and principles of design and a broad range of technical hairdressing skills to create contemporary and period hair designs

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

knowledge and consistent application of federal, state and local health and hygiene legislation and regulations applicable to the workplace

knowledge and consistent application of occupational health and safety requirements and workplace procedures relevant to hair design services.

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 and in a platform presentation or simulated platform presentation environment, including 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

a platform production venue or event, such as a hairdressing show or competition

models for platform demonstrations

library, Internet and film media research sources

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

relevant health regulations and workplace procedures.

Relationship to other units

This unit requires an assessment outcome that includes evidence of the ability to design and apply combined structures for haircut designs, apply a broad range of chemical reformation techniques and hairdressing chemical services, and communicate effectively with production team members and audiences.

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.

Assessing employability skills

Employability skills are integral to effective performance in the workplace and are broadly consistent across industry sectors. How these skills are applied varies between occupations and qualifications due to the different work functions and contexts.
