The service portfolio must be completed prior to learners undertaking the graded practical skills test. Whilst treatment portfolios will not be graded, they may be sampled by the VTCT External Quality Assurer (EQA). Evidence from the graded practical assessment must also be presented in the service portfolio.

2. Graded practical assessment

Learners must carry out a complete practical assessment which will be observed, marked and graded by centre assessors. The grade achieved in the graded practical assessment will be the grade awarded for the unit. The graded practical assessment must take place in a real or realistic working environment on a model. At a minimum the graded practical assessment for this unit must cover:

Total look – take part in an in-house or external competition to achieve a total look and provide evidence of the following: copy of the competition brief, research and mood board, final look design plan, complete at a minimum a full face make-up application and finished dressed hair style, costume/clothing, final photograph to show completed look

Recorded professional discussion can also be used as an assessment method attached to the graded practical assessment and is particularly useful for gathering evidence for criteria related to evaluation and reflection. Professional discussions should be planned and recorded.

3. External examination

Whilst the theory content of LO1 and LO2 may be naturally assessed in the graded practical assessment, it will be tested by an external examination towards the end of the period of learning. External examinations will test knowledge and understanding from across the whole vocational area (mandatory units). Learners should use the unit content section of this unit to aid revision since exam questions will test the full breadth of this section. External examinations will be set and marked by VTCT and will contribute to the overall qualification grade.

4. Graded synoptic assessment

In the last term or final third of their qualification, learners will be required to undertake a graded synoptic assessment. This will require learners to carry out a range of services from across the whole vocational area (mandatory units). Assessment coverage will vary year on year, although all services will be covered over time. VTCT will set a brief for centres which will detail the services to be covered in the graded synoptic assessment. Grading descriptors for the synoptic assessment will also be provided by VTCT. The graded synoptic assessment will be marked and graded by centre staff and externally verified by VTCT. The graded synoptic assessment will contribute to the overall qualification grade.

Skin cancer awareness

Please note this information will not be assessed for the achievement of this unit. Public awareness of skin cancer has never been higher, and yet skin cancer remains the

fastest growing cancer in the UK, especially amongst young people. The chances of a

positive outcome can be dramatically increased with early identification and diagnosis.

Professionals in hair, beauty, sports massage and health and wellbeing industries work

closely with clients and in many cases have sight of areas of skin which may not be easily

visible to the client. An informed awareness of the signs, symptoms and changes of

appearance to be aware of when checking for early signs of cancer is a crucial tool for the

conscientious practitioner in order to provide the most thorough service and in some cases,

possibly lifesaving information signposting.

Signs to look for when checking moles include utilising the ABCDE guide:

A - Asymmetry – the two halves of the area/mole may differ in their shape and not match.

B - Border – the edges of the mole area may be irregular or blurred and sometimes show

notches or look ‘ragged’.

C - Colour – this may be uneven and patchy. Different shades of black, brown and pink may

be seen.

D - Diameter – most but not all melanomas are at least 6mm in diameter. If any mole gets

bigger or changes see your doctor.

E - Elevation/evolving – elevation means the mole is raised above the surface and has an

uneven surface. Looks different from the rest or changing in size, shape or colour. Anyone

can get a suspicious mole or patch of skin checked out for free by the NHS by visiting their

doctor, who may then refer to a dermatologist (an expert in diagnosing skin cancer).

If you require any additional NHS information please refer to https://www.nhs.uk/be-clear-on-

cancer/symptoms/skin-cancer

If your learners are interested in learning more about skin cancer awareness alongside this

qualification, VTCT runs the following qualification: VTCT Level 2 Award in Skin Cancer

Awareness for Non-Healthcare Professionals.

This qualification has been specifically designed for those working in the sports massage,

health and wellbeing, beauty, hairdressing and barbering sectors. It will enable learners to

identify any changes to their client’s skin and to highlight those changes to the client using

appropriate language and communication skills. It will enable the learner to raise awareness

of skin cancer and signpost their clients to public information about skin cancer.

This qualification will enable hair, beauty and wellbeing professionals to gain the appropriate

knowledge and communication skills required to provide non-diagnostic, professional advice

and information to clients in a discrete, empathetic and confidential manner.

Also offering clients support to get warm/cool and offering refreshments.

M3 Display organisation skills by using tidy, efficient working methods

Learners must demonstrate that throughout the competition application their working area reflects an organised, tidy approach by the learner to the provision of the application for the duration of the process. The final look is achieved within the allocated time allowed and competence has been reflected at each stage of the treatment, being mindful of cost effectiveness, demonstrating efficient use of the products and tools.

D1 Reflect on the effectiveness of the competition piece created

Learners must demonstrate clear reflection and evaluate the effectiveness of the competition. They must draw conclusions based on their performance of their communication, practical skills and finished look. This needs to be in the form of physical evidence such as a written SWOT analysis or other suitable form and photographs.

D2 Create a finished look that reflects a commercially skilled application

The finished competition look must have the characteristics of professionally applied total look competition entries. Examples of the characteristics of professional total look include a creative interpretation on the brief applied with the background applications seamlessly blended, line work is even and crisp and the feature design stands out and looks clear. Evidence of continued and thoughtful design elements have been applied, in a flowing, measured and artistic manner. All additional media (hair, clothes, accessories and false eyelashes) are selected and applied to continue and enhance the theme to create the overall look meets the given brief.
