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 consistently illustrate cutting plans for a range of haircut structures. |
|
Specific evidence requirements |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | the ability to consistently communicate with clients and interpret finished looks and the components of haircut structures |
demonstrated ability to consistently produce simple line drawings representing finished haircut designs |
the ability to produce two-dimensional representations showing interior and exterior design lines indicating soft or hard lines, starting point of haircut, sectioning and parting patterns, degree of lift, distribution of hair and structural graphic. |
| |
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: analysis sheets a variety of illustrations with different haircut requirements pictures or examples of a variety of haircut structures. |
| |
Relationship to other units | This unit is a co-requisite for a range of haircutting units. It requires an assessment outcome that includes evidence of the application of designing haircut structures to the performance of one or more haircut services. : none. : WRHHC302A Apply one length/solid haircut structures WRHHC303A Apply graduated haircut structures WRHHC304A Apply layered haircut structures WRHHC305A Apply over-comb techniques. |
| |
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: interpreting illustrations to show haircut technique requirements producing simple line drawings that accurately show: the structural graphic interior and exterior straight and curved design lines and directions of design lines that are relevant to the desired finished haircut drawing starting points, sectioning and parting patterns drawing degree of lift angles drawing distribution of hair. |
| |
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. |
