Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
planning sessions to meet event aims and objectives
communicating and supporting presentation team members on session requirements and their roles and responsibilities
sourcing and organising physical and other resources required to deliver the presentation
presenting well-planned professional sessions, that communicate technical explanations and clearly answer audience questions regarding hairdressing techniques and designs, to live audiences
reviewing own performance to identify areas of improvement for sequential sessions.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
a platform production venue or event, such as a hairdressing show or competition
models for platform demonstrations
presentation teams, that may include audiovisual and sound technicians and assistants
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 hairdressing presentation settings, over sufficient time to demonstrate their handling of a range of contingencies. Tasks may include:
researching and planning for a hair show or presentation and sourcing models, garments, props and equipment and conducting rehearsals where required
interacting with presentation team to communicate session objectives and the teams roles and responsibilities
interacting with an audience to give technical explanations of work in progress or completed, and responding to their questions
case studies that involve researching, planning, conducting and evaluating the presentation against the event aims and objectives
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 and job role is recommended, for example:
SIHHTLS704A Provide creative leadership to the hairdressing industry
SIHHTLS706A Conceive, develop and realise innovative hairdressing concepts for events
