Course Structure

Assessment

The achievement of competence will be assessed by a range of methods aiming at maximum flexibility and customization to address specific needs and learning situations: observation of ongoing activities, short formal and informal tests, presentation of portfolios, role plays, observation of group discussion. The Certificate III in Hairdressing is recognised as the traditional trade qualification which means that that there will have been a significant period of experience in a hairdressing salon in the achievement of the relevant competencies. 

Students will undertake informal assessment on an ongoing basis. This assessment will be used by the teacher to monitor student progress and to provide appropriate feed back. The informal assessments do not contribute to the results achieved by a student. Students should be aware that all competency based tasks must be completed by the submission date. If a student does not pass their formal competency based assessment then they have the right to be re-assessed.
