What an assessment for SHBHTLS002 must cover

25 assessable components: 2 elements (11 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 4 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 7 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Research emerging trends and technologies in the hairdressing industry.

  • 1.1Identify emerging design trends and technologies using appropriate sources of information.
  • 1.2Research and adapt relevant ideas and approaches from other industry practitioners considering intellectual property and copyright requirements.
  • 1.3Evaluate currency and credibility of information gathered.
  • 1.4Examine and clarify implications and consequences of emerging trends and technologies.
  • 1.5Assess resource requirements and costs associated with new techniques and experimental approaches.
  • 1.6Critique and review emerging trends and technologies with relevant team members.

2 Experiment with new hair techniques and technology.

  • 2.1Conduct trials of researched designs, techniques and technologies.
  • 2.2Adapt or introduce new products, materials, tools and equipment for the achievement of different effects.
  • 2.3Assess results of experimentation, balancing need for creative effectiveness and cost practicality.
  • 2.4Engage in professional discussion about results of research and experimentation and make decisions on introducing new techniques and technologies.
  • 2.5Identify resource requirements associated with introducing chosen techniques and technologies and commercial viability of offering new services.

Performance evidence

  • complete a research project using information from at least three different sources to: • identify and explore emerging hair design trends and technologies: • develop a report which covers: • analysis of emerging design trends and technologies • implications of adoption including implications for the commercial viability of hair designs that align to emerging trends • impacts on own current design practice • potential for generating commercial opportunities • information on discussions and debates and the individual’s position on emerging design trends and technologies • plans for integrating emerging trends to own professional design practice
  • trial and experiment with three design trends and associated techniques and technologies, chosen from the above research project
  • add to the research report: • results of experimentation with design trends, techniques and technologies • any experiences where design skills have been extended by using emerging trends during or post research.

Knowledge evidence

  • sources of reliable information on emerging hair design trends and technologies: • local and international industry associations • professional design practitioners • trade magazines • trade shows • industry seminars • suppliers of professional hair products, tools, and equipment
  • primary components of copyright, intellectual property and design laws: • business or individual’s rights over original designs • business or individual’s responsibility to comply with laws that protect copyrighted products • extent to which work can be used or adapted • procedures for seeking permission to use or adapt the work of others and, systems for the administration of copyright

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SHBHTLS002 needs to address all 25 unit components: 2 elements with 11 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 4 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for SHBHTLS002?

Auditori pulls the current release of SHBHTLS002 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for SHBHTLS002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SHBHTLS002 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of SHBHTLS002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
