TRAINING RECORD BOOK & COLLECTION OF EVIDENCE

This is your Bible. It is your responsibility to ensure that the evidence you are collecting is signed by your employer/trainer prior to attending off job training. You must bring your Training Record Book to Off-Job Training every day you attend. You must look after your Training Record Book. It is important that your collection of evidence is up to date. You may not sit an Assessment for a task that does not have the required amount of evidence signed off.

If you have achieved Unit Standards on a full time Training Programme you will need to ask that Training Provider to sign off in your Training Record Book prior to the first day of Off-Job Training.

This collection of evidence is a VITAL part of the Assessment process.

1. Collection of evidence confirms tasks are being completed regularly in salon to the required standard. This means working on different clients within stated timeframes and following the Hairdressers Health Regulations, Manufacturer’s Instructions, and Health &s Safety Requirements.
2. Collection of evidence confirms that the apprentice is ready for Assessment. Evidence with a valid signature should decrease the need for re-assessment.
3. Once a task can be performed without assistance, the employer/trainer may sign the Evidence section of the Training Record Book. Every box must be signed prior to assessment.
4. The Training Record Book must be bought each day that Off-Job Training is attended.
5. Instructions to the candidate for each unit standard expected to be achieved in a year,at the back of the Induction book. Take time to read these instructions as they provide valuable information to collect valid evidence and achieve Assessment.

All evidence for all Assessments must be signed off in your Training Record Book prior to attending Block 2.
