Know how health and safety policies and procedures affect cutting services 3. Understand the factors that influence cutting services 4. Understand the tools, equipment and products used in basic barbering techniques Evidence requirements 1. Environment Evidence for this unit may be gathered within the workplace or realistic working environment (RWE). 2. Simulation Simulation is not permitted in this unit. All Observation outcomes must be on real clients. 3. Observation outcomes Competent performance of Observation outcomes must be demonstrated on at least six occasions. Assessor observations, witness testimonies and products of work are likely to be the most appropriate sources of performance evidence. Professional discussion may be used as supplementary evidence for those criteria that do not naturally occur. You need to meet the same standard on a regular and consistent basis. Separating the assessments by a period of at least two weeks is recommended as competence must be demonstrated on a consistent and regular basis. 4. Range All ranges must be practically demonstrated or other forms of evidence produced to show they have been covered. 5. Knowledge outcomes There must be evidence that you possess all the knowledge and understanding listed in the Knowledge section of this unit. In most cases this can be done by professional discussion and/or oral questioning. Other methods, such as projects, assignments and/or reflective accounts may also be used. 6. Tutor/Assessor guidance Your tutor must refer to the Habia Assessment Strategy when delivering this unit to ensure that you cover all the requirements for this unit. This can be found on under the relevant qualification page. You will be guided by your tutor/assessor on how to achieve learning outcomes and ranges in this unit. All outcomes and ranges must be achieved. 7. External paper There is no external paper requirement for this unit. Assessed observations should not be carried out on the same day for the same learning outcome. There should be sufficient time between assessments for reflection and personal development. 3

6 Achieving observations and range Achieving observation outcomes Your assessor will observe your performance of practical tasks. The minimum number of observations required is indicated in the evidence requirements section of this unit. Criteria may not always naturally occur during a practical observation. In such instances you will be asked questions to demonstrate your competence in this area. Your assessor will document the criteria that have been achieved through oral questioning. Achieving range The range section indicates what must be covered. Ranges should be practically demonstrated as part of an observation. Where this is not possible other forms of evidence may be produced. All ranges must be covered. Your assessor will document the portfolio reference once a range has been competently achieved. Your assessor will sign off a learning outcome when all criteria have been competently achieved in a single client service. 4

10 Developing knowledge Achieving knowledge outcomes You will be guided by your tutor and assessor on the evidence that needs to be produced. Your knowledge and understanding will be assessed using the assessment methods listed below*: Projects Observed work Witness statements Audio-visual media Evidence of prior learning or attainment Written questions Oral questions Assignments Case studies Professional discussion Each assessment criterion in the knowledge learning outcomes has been mapped to the relevant statement in the National Occupational Standard (NOS). In the Knowledge section of this book, the assessment criteria and related NOS references are listed. There is a column for the portfolio reference to be inserted. The NOS statements listed in the Knowledge Requirements section of this book, must be evidenced in a portfolio. *This is not an exhaustive list. Where applicable your assessor will integrate knowledge outcomes into practical observations through professional discussion and/or oral questioning. When a criterion has been orally questioned and achieved, your assessor will record this evidence in written form or by other appropriate means. There is no need for you to produce additional evidence as this criterion has already been achieved. Some knowledge and understanding outcomes may require you to show that you know and understand how to do something. If you have practical evidence from your own work that meets knowledge criteria, then there is no requirement for you to be questioned again on the same topic. 8
