How are the qualifications graded and assessed?

The overall grade for each qualification is a ‘pass’. The learner must achieve all the required units within the specified qualification structure.

To pass a unit the learner must:

achieve all the specified learning outcomes

satisfy all the assessment criteria by providing sufficient and valid evidence for each criterion

show that the evidence is their own.

The qualifications are designed to be assessed:

in the workplace or

in conditions resembling the workplace, as specified in the assessment requirements/strategy for the sector, or

as part of a training programme.

Assessment strategy

The assessment strategy for these qualifications has been included in Annexe D. They have been developed by Habia in partnership with employers, training providers, awarding organisations and the regulatory authorities. The assessment strategy includes details on:

nail services realistic working environment requirements

where simulated activities may be used

areas within Beauty and Spa Therapy National Occupational Standards for which mandatory written question papers must be developed

occupational expertise requirements for Beauty and Spa Therapy Assessors and Verifiers

requirements for continuing professional development for Assessors and Verifiers of Beauty and Spa Therapy technical units

nationally agreed service times for Beauty Therapy and Spa Therapy NVQ assessment purposes.

Evidence of competence may come from:

current practice where evidence is generated from a current job role

a programme of development where evidence comes from assessment opportunities built into a learning/training programme whether at or away from the workplace

the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) where a learner can demonstrate that they can meet the assessment criteria within a unit through knowledge, understanding or skills they already possess without undertaking a course of learning. They must submit sufficient, reliable and valid evidence for internal and standards verification purposes. RPL is acceptable for accrediting a unit, several units or a whole qualification

a combination of these.


7

It is important that the evidence is:

Valid relevant to the standards for which competence is claimed

Authentic produced by the learner

Current sufficiently recent to create confidence that the same skill, understanding or knowledge persist at the time of the claim

Reliable indicates that the learner can consistently perform at this level

Sufficient fully meets the requirements of the standards.

Types of evidence

To successfully achieve a unit the learner must gather evidence which shows that they have met the required standard in the assessment criteria. Evidence can take a variety of different forms including the following examples:

direct observation of the learner’s performance by their assessor

outcomes from oral or written questioning

products of the learner’s work

personal statements and/or reflective accounts

outcomes from simulation, where permitted by the assessment strategy

professional discussion

assignment, project/case studies

authentic statements/witness testimony

expert witness testimony

reflective accounts

evidence of Recognition of Prior Learning.

Learners can use one piece of evidence to prove their knowledge, skills and understanding across different assessment criteria and/or across different units. It is, therefore, not necessary for learners to have each assessment criterion assessed separately. Learners should be encouraged to reference the assessment criteria to which the evidence relates.

Evidence must be made available to the assessor, internal verifier and Edexcel standards verifier. A range of recording documents is available on the Edexcel website www.edexcel.com. Alternatively, centres may develop their own.



8

What do you need to offer these qualifications?

Centre recognition

Centres that have not previously offered Edexcel qualifications need to apply for and be granted centre recognition as part of the process for approval to offer individual qualifications. New centres must complete both a centre recognition approval application and a qualification approval application.

Existing centres will be given ‘automatic approval’ for a new qualification if they are already approved for a qualification that is being replaced by the new qualification and the conditions for automatic approval are met. Centres already holding Edexcel approval are able to gain qualification approval for a different level or different sector via Edexcel online.

Approvals agreement

All centres are required to enter into an approvals agreement which is a formal commitment by the head or principal of a centre to meet all the requirements of the specification and any linked codes or regulations. Edexcel will act to protect the integrity of the awarding of qualifications, if centres do not comply with the agreement. This could result in the suspension of certification or withdrawal of approval.

Quality assurance

Detailed information on Edexcel’s quality assurance processes is given in Annexe B.

What resources are required?

Each qualification is designed to support learners working in the Beauty Therapy sector. Physical resources need to support the delivery of the qualifications and the assessment of the learning outcomes and must be of industry standard. Centres must meet any specific resource requirements outlined in Annexe D: Assessment strategy. Staff assessing the learner must meet the requirements within the overarching assessment strategy for the sector.

The unit title is accredited on the QCF and this form of words will appear on the learner’s Notification of Performance (NOP).

This is the unit owner’s reference number for the specified unit.

This code is a unique reference number for the unit.

All units and qualifications within the QCF have a level assigned to them, which represents the level of achievement. There are nine levels of achievement, from Entry level to level 8. The level of the unit has been informed by the QCF level descriptors and, where appropriate, the NOS and/or other sector/professional.

All units have a credit value. The minimum credit value is one, and credits can only be awarded in whole numbers. Learners will be awarded credits when they achieve the unit.

A notional measure of the substance of a qualification. It includes an estimate of the time that might be allocated to direct teaching or instruction, together with other structured learning time, such as directed assignments, assessments on the job or supported individual study and practice. It excludes learner-initiated private study.

This provides a summary of the purpose of the unit.

The assessment/evidence requirements are determined by the SSC. Learners must provide evidence for each of the requirements stated in this section.

Learning outcomes state exactly what a learner should know, understand or be able to do as a result of completing a unit.

The assessment criteria of a unit specify the standard a learner is expected to meet to demonstrate that a learning outcome, or a set of learning outcomes, has been achieved.

Learners must reference the type of evidence they have and where it is available for quality assurance purposes. The learner can enter the relevant key and a reference. Alternatively, the learner and/or centre can devise their own referencing system.

This provides a summary of the assessment methodology to be used for the unit.

The learner should use this box to indicate where the evidence can be obtained eg portfolio page number.

The learner should give the date when the evidence has been provided.

Unit 1: Monitor Procedures to Safely Control Work Operations

Unit code: G22

Unit reference number: Y/601/5875

QCF level: 3

Credit value: 4

Guided learning hours: 30

Unit summary

This unit is about making sure that statutory and workplace instructions are being carried out. It describes the competences required to make sure that:

a health and safety procedures are being followed within work areas

b appropriate action is undertaken to control workplace hazards.

Evidence requirements

1 The Common Evidence Requirements below are in addition to the ENTO Assessment Strategies approved by UKCG in February 2008.

2 The standards require evidence of consistent occupational competence, as defined by the standards, to be demonstrated through relevant work activities. A variety of assessment methods should be used to confirm competence. Assessment of knowledge should be integrated with the assessment of performance wherever possible and appropriate.

3 Assessment of performance and knowledge in the workplace

Monitoring the operation of workplace health and safety procedures is the legal responsibility of all senior staff in a salon, not just that of the manager or proprietor. These responsibilities extend beyond salon staff to all people entering the business eg clients, suppliers, contract cleaners, etc. Therefore, in the context of this unit, ‘other people’ includes not only other employees, but all those who have a reason to be on salon premises at any time.

Evidence for outcomes relating to ‘other people’, therefore, may be drawn from a wide base of possibilities eg politely instructing clients to hang coats in the place provided and stow their bags at reception to comply with workplace procedures to avoid obstructions and accidents in salon work areas; briefing a new starter on some aspect of workplace health and safety procedures. (Outcome 1e)


14

4 All evidence must be derived from performance in the workplace or approved Realistic Working Environment conforming to current Habia criteria.

Simulation is not allowed for any performance evidence within this unit as the outcomes can be demonstrated by a combination of assessment methods drawn from:

direct observation of the candidate in the workplace

witness testimony by colleagues and line managers of the candidate’s successful performance of activities in the workplace

documentary and other product-based evidence

a personal report by the candidate endorsed by colleagues

questions

discussion

professional discussion.

5 This is not an exhaustive list and the Common Evidence Requirements are owned by the Awarding Bodies who will develop their own guidance documentation on evidence requirements. However, given the nature of the outcomes required, it is likely various types of documentary evidence, questioning and discussion will form the main assessment methods for the hair and beauty industries.

Assessment methodology

This unit is assessed in the workplace or in conditions resembling the workplace. Learners can enter the types of evidence they are presenting for assessment and the submission date against each assessment criterion. Alternatively, centre documentation should be used to record this information.

This is a job ready unit which is competency based. This unit is about enhancing and maintaining nails using UV gel. To carry out this unit the learner will need to maintain effective health, safety and hygiene procedures throughout their work.

This unit applies to Nail Services.


1 Simulation is not allowed for any performance evidence within this unit.

2 Leaners must practically demonstrate in their everyday work that they have met the standard for enhancing and maintaining the appearance of the nails using UV gel.

3 The assessor will observe the learner’s performance on at least five separate occasions, on at least three different clients, on a full set of nails:

one sculpting using pink and white gel

one full set of coloured UV gel enhancements

one rebalance and reposition of white product

one client to be a nail biter using tips with French opaque overlays

one removal technique.

4 Learners must show that they have:

used all the consultation techniques

a questioning

b visual

c manual

d reference to client records


20

carried out at least one of the necessary actions*

a encouraged the client to seek medical advice

b explained why the service cannot be carried out

c modified the treatment

worked on three of the seven nail shapes and conditions*

a bitten

b hook

c ski jump

d disclosed, eg yellowing, stained, bruising and white spots#

e fan

f misshapen

g split

dealt with three of the five problems*

a lifting of product

b cracking and splitting of product

c loss of artificial nail structure

d disclosure of product

e damage of natural nails

worked with all UV gel colours

a opaque

b pink and white (French finish)

c colour

dealt with all nail maintenance

a infill

b rebalance

c reposition of white tip product

d replacement of overlay

e repair of overlay

covered one of the two removal techniques

a chemical

b manual

provided all types of advice

a suitable aftercare products and their use

b avoidance of activities which may cause contra-actions

c recommended time intervals in-between UV gel nail enhancements


21

* However, learners must prove to their assessor that they have the necessary knowledge, understanding and skills to be able to perform competently in respect of all the items in these ranges.

5 It is likely most evidence of learners’ performances will be gathered from the observations made by the assessor, but learners may be required to produce other evidence to support their performance if the assessor has not been present.

6 This unit requires mandatory written questions in accordance with the Habia Assessment Strategy for Nail Services.

Unit 3: Enhance and Maintain Nails Using Liquid and Powder

Unit code: N7

Unit reference number: T/600/9100

QCF level: 3

Credit value: 10


Unit summary

This is a job ready unit which is competency based. This unit is about enhancing and maintaining nails using liquid and powder. To carry out this unit the learner will need to maintain effective health, safety and hygiene procedures throughout their work.



The assessment of this unit needs to meet the requirements of the Habia Nail Services Assessment Strategy.


2 Learners must practically demonstrate in their everyday work that they have met the standard for enhancing the appearance of natural nails using liquid and powder.

3 The assessor will observe the learner’s performance on at least five separate occasions, on at least three different clients, on a full set of nails

one sculpting using pink and white powder

one full set of coloured powder enhancements

one rebalance and reposition of white product

one client to be a nail biter using tips with French opaque overlays


4 The learners must show that they have:


a questioning

b visual

c manual



38

dealt with at least one of the necessary actions*



c modifying the treatment

worked on three of the nail shapes and conditions*

a bitten

b hook

c ski jump

d discoloured, eg yellowing, stained, bruising and white spots

e fan

f misshapen

g split

dealt with three problems*




d discolouration of product


used all liquid and powder colours

a opaque

b pink and white (French finish)

c colour

dealt with all nail maintenance

a infill

b rebalance

c reposition of white tip product

d replacement of overlay

e repair of overlay

covered one removal technique

a chemical

b manual




c recommended time intervals in-between liquid and powder nail enhancements


39

* However, Learners must prove to their assessor that they have the necessary knowledge, understanding and skills to be able to perform competently in respect of all the items in these ranges.

5 It is likely most evidence of learners’ performances will be gathered from the observations made by the assessor, but learners may be required to produce other evidence to support their performance if the assessor has not been present.

Unit 4: Enhance and Maintain Nails Using Wraps

Unit code: N8

Unit reference number: K/600/9093

QCF level: 3

Credit value: 8


Unit summary

This is a job ready unit which is competency based. This unit is about enhancing and maintaining nails using wraps. To carry out this unit the learner will need to maintain effective health, safety and hygiene procedures throughout their work. This unit applies to Nail Services.


The assessment of this unit needs to meet the requirements of the Habia Nail Services Assessment Strategy.


2 The learner must practically demonstrate in their everyday work that they have met the standard for enhancing and maintaining the appearance of the nails using wraps.

3 The assessor will observe the learner’s performance on at least three separate occasions, on at least three different clients, on a full set of nails:

one tip and fibreglass overlay

one rebalance with fabric


4 The learners must show that they have:


a questioning

b visual

c manual



56




c modifying the treatment

worked on three of the five nail shapes and conditions*

a bitten

b ski jump

c fan

d misshapen

e split

dealt with three of the five problems*




d discolouration of product


used two of the three wrap fabrics

a silk

b fibre glass

c other

dealt with all nail maintenance*

a infill

b rebalance with fabric

c replacement of overlay

d repair of overlay

covered one of the two removal techniques

a chemical

b manual




c recommended time intervals in-between wrap nail enhancements

* However, learners must prove to their assessor that they have the necessary knowledge, understanding and skills to be able to perform competently in respect of all the items in these ranges.


57

5 It is likely most evidence of the learners’ performances will be gathered from the observations made by the assessor, but learners may be required to produce other evidence to support their performance if the assessor has not been present.

Unit 5: Plan and Create Nail Art Designs

Unit code: N9

Unit reference number: K/600/8767

QCF level: 3

Credit value: 6


Unit summary

This is a job ready unit which is competency based. This unit is about planning and creating nail art design. To carry out this unit the learner will need to maintain effective health, safety and hygiene procedures throughout their work.

This unit applies to Nail Services only.

Assessment requirements/evidence requirements

The assessment of this unit needs to meet the requirements within the Habia Nail Services Assessment Strategy:


2 The learner must practically demonstrate in their everyday work that they have met the standard for providing nail art service.

3 The Assessor will observe the learners performance on at least three occasions, one of which must use liquid and coloured powders or coloured UV gel, using a minimum of three colours.

4 The learner must show that they have:

used all consultation techniques

a questioning

b visual

c manual





c modified the service


72

used all nail art designs

a 3D

b embedding

c alternative tip shapes

used all nail art techniques

a coloured blending

b marbling

c painting

used five of the eight nail art products

a shells

b lace

c flowers

d glitters

e jewels

f decals

g liquid and coloured powders

h coloured UV gels

provided all types of service advice



c recommended time intervals in-between nail services.

* However, the learner must prove to their assessor that they have the necessary knowledge, understanding and skills to be able to perform competently in respect of all the items in these ranges.

5 It is likely most evidence of the learners performance will be gathered from the observations made by the assessor but the learner may be required to produce other evidence to support the performance if the assessor has not been present.

6 There are no written papers required for this unit.

The assessment and quality assurance requirement for this qualification/unit provides evidence towards A and V units.

Unit code: N10

Unit reference number: Y/600/8781

QCF level: 3

Credit value: 5


Unit summary

This is a job ready unit which is competency based. This unit is about developing a range of creative nail images. To carry out this unit the learner will need to maintain effective health, safety and hygiene procedures throughout their work.

This unit applies to Nail Services only.




2 The learner must practically demonstrate in their everyday work that they have met the standard for designing and creating images incorporating nail service techniques.

3 The learner must produce evidence of creating three different nail designs, two of which must combine nail enhancements and nail art. The Assessor must observe on at least one occasion.

a photo shoot

b catwalk shows

c competition

d client specifications


82

considered two of the three images

a based on a theme

b avant-garde

a accessories

b clothes

c make-up

d props

Annexe B: Quality assurance

Key principles of quality assurance

A centre delivering Edexcel qualifications must be an Edexcel recognised centre and must have approval for qualifications that it is offering.

The centre agrees as part of gaining recognition to abide by specific terms and conditions around the effective delivery and quality assurance of assessment; the centre must abide by these conditions throughout the period of delivery.

Edexcel makes available to approved centres a range of materials and opportunities to exemplify the processes required for effective assessment and provide examples of effective standards. Approved centres must use the guidance on assessment to ensure that staff who are delivering Edexcel qualifications are applying consistent standards.

An approved centre must follow agreed protocols for: standardisation of assessors; planning, monitoring and recording of assessment processes; internal verification and recording of internal verification processes; and for dealing with special circumstances, appeals and malpractice.

Quality assurance processes

The approach to quality assured assessment is made through a partnership between a recognised centre and Edexcel. Edexcel is committed to ensuring that it follows best practice and employs appropriate technology to support quality assurance process where practicable. Therefore, the specific arrangements for working with centres will vary. Edexcel seeks to ensure that the quality assurance processes that it uses do not place undue bureaucratic processes on centres and works to support centres in providing robust quality assurance processes.

The learning outcomes and assessment criteria in each unit within this specification set out the standard to be achieved by each learner in order to gain each qualification. Edexcel operates a quality assurance process, which is designed to ensure that these standards are maintained by all assessors and verifiers.

For the purposes of quality assurance all individual qualifications and units are considered as a whole. Centres offering these qualifications must be committed to ensuring the quality of the units and qualifications they offer, through effective standardisation of assessors and internal verification of assessor decisions. Centre quality assurance and assessment processes are monitored by Edexcel.


134

The Edexcel quality assurance processes will involve:

gaining centre recognition and qualification approval if a centre is not currently approved to offer Edexcel qualifications

annual visits to centres by Edexcel for quality review and development of overarching processes and quality standards. Quality review and development visits will be conducted by an Edexcel quality development reviewer

annual visits by occupationally competent and qualified Edexcel Standards Verifiers for sampling of internal verification and assessor decisions for the occupational sector

the provision of support, advice and guidance towards the achievement of National Occupational Standards.

Centres are required to declare their commitment to ensuring quality and appropriate opportunities for learners that lead to valid and accurate assessment outcomes. In addition, centres will commit to undertaking defined training and online standardisation activities.


135

Annexe C: Centre certification and registration

Edexcel Standards Verifiers will provide support, advice and guidance to centres to achieve Direct Claims Status (DCS). Edexcel will maintain the integrity of Edexcel QCF NVQs through ensuring that the awarding of these qualifications is secure. Where there are quality issues identified in the delivery of programmes, Edexcel will exercise the right to:

direct centres to take actions

limit or suspend certification

suspend registration.

The approach of Edexcel in such circumstances is to work with the centre to overcome the problems identified. If additional training is required, Edexcel will aim to secure the appropriate expertise to provide this.

What are the access arrangements and special considerations for the qualifications in this specification?

Centres are required to recruit learners to Edexcel qualifications with integrity.

Appropriate steps should be taken to assess each applicant’s potential and a professional judgement made about their ability to successfully complete the programme of study and achieve the qualification. This assessment will need to take account of the support available to the learner within the centre during their programme of study and any specific support that might be necessary to allow the learner to access the assessment for the qualification. Centres should consult Edexcel’s policy on learners with particular requirements.

Edexcel’s policy on access arrangements and special considerations for Edexcel qualifications aims to enhance access to the qualifications for learners with disabilities and other difficulties (as defined by the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act and the amendments to the Act) without compromising the assessment of skills, knowledge, understanding or competence. Please refer to Access Arrangements and Special Considerations for BTEC and Edexcel NVQ Qualifications for further details. www.edexcel.com.

Annexe D: Assessment strategy

Assessment Strategy for Nail Services NVQs

Key Mandatory Components of the Assessment Strategy

Part 2 sets out the Key Mandatory components of our Assessment Strategy for NVQs and SVQs, which are:

Performance in the workplace, the use of realistic working environments, requirements for a realistic working environment and the use of specific simulated activities

Habia’s approach to External Quality Control of Assessment

The requirements for the occupational expertise of External Verifiers, Internal Verifiers and Assessors.

Each of the above is expanded in more detail below.

Performance in the Workplace and Use of Simulations

The Nail Services NVQs/SVQs may be assessed in the workplace and/or an approved ‘realistic working environment’ meeting the criteria set out in Appendix 1A.

Habia wishes to make clear its stance on the use of simulated activities and a realistic working environment. The key criterion for allowing the use of simulated activities in the assessment of performance is the rarity of the opportunity to undertake the activities required by the standard of competence. Examples of these activities include:

dealing with fire and other emergencies

dealing with health and safety activities outside or peripheral to normal practices

client/customer relationships

contra-indications/contra-actions.

Therefore, a simulated activity is viewed as ‘any structured assessment exercise involving a specific task which reproduces real life situations’. In this it is distinct and separate from the use of an approved realistic working environment as the latter allows the candidate to perform an entire occupational role over an extended period of time, in an environment which as closely as possible replicates the working environment and involves real work on real clients drawn from members of the public.

Habia considers evidence generated in a realistic working environment meeting the criteria set out in Appendix 1A, as acceptable for the purposes of Nail Services NVQ/SVQ assessment. The use of realistic working environments will be necessary to promote access to assessment for some Nail Services candidates at present.


138

Simulated activities may only be used for Habia developed units where indicated in Appendix 1B. An additional, specific dispensation has been given to schemes operating in HM Prison Service whereby use of replica money is allowed within Unit G4 (Fulfil salon reception duties) to prevent barriers to access caused by prison rules on cash usage.

In addition to this, internal telephone systems can be used to cover Range 2 in particular by telephone. However, this cannot be done as a simulated activity and cannot be used within a role-play situation. The internal telephone system must be a permanent fixture and not set up for role-play activities.

The Institute of Customer Service (ICS) has given a special dispensation for the ‘imported’ Customer Service unit listed below to be assessed in a Realistic Working Environment (RWE) conforming to Habia’s criteria specified in Appendix 1A:

Unit G18 (ICS Unit 10), Level 2: Promote additional services or products to clients

This dispensation in no way implies that the Customer Service NVQ/SVQ itself can be achieved in an RWE. The dispensation only applies to the imported unit above.

As a matter of policy, Habia will work with industry experts and its Awarding Bodies to develop basic Evidence Requirements for use where Nail Services National Occupational Standards are used for NVQ/SVQ purposes.

Approach to Achieving Greater External Quality Control of Assessment

Our strategy to address the above is as follows:

An overall 100% achievement rate for the entire underpinning knowledge and understanding specification in the National Occupational Standards should be required of each candidate.

Habia requires all Awarding Bodies to develop externally set mandatory question papers to cover critical areas of essential knowledge and understanding within specified units for the Nail Services Levels 2 and 3 NVQs/SVQs. These units and the critical areas of knowledge have been detailed in Appendix 1C for Nail Services units.

All mandatory question papers should be internally marked by assessors using answer and/or marking guides supplied by the Awarding Body. A minimum of two differently designed sets of questions and associated answer guides should be provided for all mandatory, designated areas of questioning.

For externally set mandatory question papers, a 70% achievement rate must be attained under formal, ‘closed book’ assessment conditions, to avoid the necessity of a resit of the complete paper. For those achieving 70% or more, questions answered incorrectly may be reassessed by a variety of means (eg oral questioning, a repeat of the written questions, assignments) to ensure 100% achievement on the mandatory areas of questioning for the units being undertaken.


139

All question and answer sheets must be collected from candidates and securely retained by the centre for internal and external verification purposes. It is expected suitable systems will be in place to prevent copying or plagiarism.

It is anticipated that Awarding Bodies will make suitable alternative arrangements for those with identified special needs which may preclude them from undertaking written assessments (eg candidates who are identified as dyslexic).

It is expected Awarding Bodies will ensure:

the design of testing does not discriminate between those taking full qualifications and individual units

that assessment instruments do not directly or indirectly discriminate against any particular group and ensure equality of opportunity appropriate to employment in the Nail Services industry

that candidates are not expected to repeat questions on knowledge ‘common’ to several units

arrangements are in place for testing to be carried out at a time to meet individual needs and rate of progress

where necessary, suitable arrangements are in place for reassessment of those areas where candidates have been shown to be ‘not yet competent’

suitable arrangements are put in place for those with disabilities affecting their reading and writing capabilities.

Assessment of Essential Knowledge and Understanding Items Outside the Specification for Externally Set Mandatory Question Papers

As a 100% achievement rate is required for the entire Knowledge and Understanding specification for each unit for each candidate, other means such as oral questioning and additional portfolio evidence must be used to demonstrate that all remaining items of underpinning knowledge and understanding have been assessed and achieved satisfactorily.

Habia also requires that the Nationally Agreed Maximum Service Times quoted in Appendix 1F are used for assessment purposes for the particular, critical services listed for each level of the Nail Services NVQ/SVQ.

Requirements for the Occupational Expertise of External Verifiers, Internal Verifiers and Assessors

Habia requires that:

In addition to the requirements set out by the Regulatory Bodies, Habia specify the appropriate occupational expertise requirements. These requirements have been detailed in Appendix 1D for Nail Services. All Habia Awarding Bodies must comply with these requirements when recruiting and selecting external verifiers and implement the requirements within their current external verifier teams. All Habia Awarding Bodies must ensure their Approved Centres comply with these requirements when recruiting and selecting internal verifiers and assessors and implement the requirements with their current internal verifiers and assessors.


140

It is expected that as part of Awarding Body internal quality assurance processes, the qualifications and occupational expertise requirements of all involved in the assessment and verification process will be regularly monitored and recorded.

Because of the ever changing nature of the industries Habia represents, it is essential that assessors and verifiers keep their technical skills up-to-date and at an occupational level appropriate to the NVQs/SVQs they are assessing or verifying. All assessors and verifiers must be able to demonstrate to their Awarding Body that they engage in appropriate continuing professional development (CPD) activities.

To ensure consistency of approach on this matter across all Awarding Bodies delivering Habia NVQs/SVQs, it is a requirement that all Awarding Bodies implement Habia’s minimum requirements for CPD activities and put systems in place to monitor, record and ensure assessor and verifier achievement against these requirements. These appear in Appendix 1E for Nail Services.

Appendix 1A: Nail Services Realistic Working Environment Requirements

As the Standards Setting Body for the Hair, Beauty and Body Art sectors, Habia is responsible for defining what constitutes a ‘Realistic Working Environment’ (RWE). Habia has set down the following criteria for the assessment location. This will ensure that all candidates are being assessed against the National Occupational Standards in a realistic working environment when not in an actual, commercial workplace.

The following criteria must be included as part of centre approval and must be confirmed as being met during the first external verification visit. The criteria must then continue to be met on every subsequent visit. This will ensure that candidates are able to meet commercial needs in the workplace.

1 Assessment centres must develop realistic management procedures that incorporate a ‘salon image*’ and sales and marketing policy to attract the type and number of clients needed to ensure that the requirements of the National Occupational Standards can be achieved.

2 All assessments must be carried out under realistic commercial pressures and on paying clients and not other candidates within the same group. Wherever possible, clients should vary in age and ethnicity so that the requirements of the National Occupational Standards can be achieved.

3 All services that are carried out should be completed in a commercially acceptable timescale. Maximum service times for particular, critical services have been developed by Habia for each Nail Services NVQ/SVQ and are detailed in Appendix 1F. These times should be used for assessment purposes.

4 Candidates must be able to achieve a realistic volume of work.

5 The space per working area conforms to health and safety legislation and commercial practice.

6 The range of services, professional products, tools, materials and equipment must be up-to-date and available for use. They must enable candidates to meet the requirements of the National Occupational Standards.

7 A reception area where clients are greeted and general enquiries and appointments can be made by telephone or in person must be available. The reception area must also include a payment facility.

8 A retail facility must be provided with products that relate to the clients’ needs and the services offered.

9 The RWE must take full account of any bye-laws, legislation or local authority requirements that have been set down in relation to the type of work that is being carried out there.


143

10 Candidates must work in a professional manner taking into account establishment requirements such as:

i appearance and dress code

ii personal conduct

iii hygiene

iv reliability

v punctuality.

11 Candidates are given workplace responsibilities to enable them to meet the requirements of the National Occupational Standards.

* The use of the word ‘salon’ is not intended to deny access to the Nail Services qualification if you deliver services in other locations (eg hospitals, care centres etc). It refers to any place where professional services are carried out. However, the location must meet health and safety requirements for Nail Services.


144

Appendix 1B: Summary Of Where Simulated Activities May Be Used For Assessment Of Habia Developed Units

Simulated activities may be used for the following, if naturally occurring performance evidence is not available:

Level 2 Unit G4: Fulfil Salon Reception Duties, Outcome 4

‘Methods of Payment’ Range Variables: ‘cash equivalent’, ‘cheque’ and ‘payment card’ methods of payment.

‘Payment Discrepancies’ Range variables.

A special dispensation will continue to exist which allows the use of artificial money in HM Prisons


145

Appendix 1C: Areas Within The Nail Services National Occupational Standards For Which Mandatory Written Question Papers Must Be Developed

As a minimum requirement, Awarding Bodies are required to develop appropriate question papers to cover the areas of Knowledge and Understanding listed below.

A written paper must be produced for each technical unit. It is also recommended that a separate written paper be produced to cover the anatomy and physiology across all of the units in each qualification to prevent repetition. Appropriate written question papers must be available for the Nail Services NVQs/SVQs at Levels 2 and 3.

Appendix 1D: Occupational Expertise Requirements For Nail Services Assessors And Verifiers

1 Introduction

1.1 As the Standards Setting Body for the hair and beauty sectors, Habia is responsible for defining the occupational expertise requirements for assessors and verifiers in consultation with employers, centres and Awarding Bodies. The assessor and verifier occupational expertise requirements for the Nail Services NVQs and SVQs are shown below.

1.2 Please note that these requirements will take effect from 1 August 2010 and will apply to all assessors and verifiers. This version dated March 2009 supersedes all previous versions.

1.3 Please note all assessors and verifiers still working with the existing standards will continue to use and follow the August 2007 Assessment Strategy requirements.

2 Assessors

2.1 From 1 August 2010 all new Nail Service assessors must:

2.1.1 hold EITHER the Level 2 and/or 3 Nail Services NVQs/SVQs or equivalent* plus sufficient relevant post qualification industrial experience that is current and appropriate to the unit(s) of NVQ/SVQ they are intending to assess.

OR

substantial operational experience** that is current and appropriate to the units(s) of NVQ/SVQ they are intending to assess.

In addition they should undertake and achieve, within 18 months, the current Nail Services L2 and or L3 NVQ/SVQ appropriate to the unit(s) they are intending to assess.

2.1.2 hold or be working towards Unit A1 if carrying out all forms of assessment

OR

hold Units D32 and D33 to assess the complete Nail Services NVQs/SVQs (those work based assessors only required to make and record observations may hold just D32)

OR

hold or be working towards Unit A2 if only carrying out observations in the workplace.

2.2 From 1 August 2010 all existing assessors holding just the Level 2 Nail Services NVQ/SVQ or equivalent will only be able to assess the Level 2 Nail Services NVQ/SVQ. They will not be eligible for internal verifier or external verifier roles.


152

3 Internal Verifiers

3.1 From 1 August 2010 all Nail Service internal verifiers must:

3.1.1 hold the Level 3 Nail Services NVQs/SVQs or equivalent* plus sufficient relevant post qualification industrial experience that is current and appropriate to the units(s) of NVQ/SVQ they are intending to internally verify.

OR

substantial operational experience** that is current and appropriate to the units(s) of NVQ/SVQ they are intending to internally verify, and

3.1.2 hold Unit A1 or Units D32 and D33 and

3.1.3 hold D34 or hold or be working towards Unit V1

3.1.4 have sufficient experience of assessing Nail Service NVQs/SVQs.

4 External Verifiers

4.1 From 1 August 2010 all Nail Service external verifiers must:

4.1.1 hold the Level 2 and/or 3 Nail Services NVQs/SVQs or equivalent* plus sufficient relevant post qualification industrial experience that is current and appropriate to the units(s) of NVQ/SVQ they are intending to externally verify.

OR

substantial operational experience** that is current and appropriate to the units(s) of NVQ/SVQ they are intending to externally verify, and

4.1.2 hold Unit A1 or Units D32 and D33 and

4.1.3 hold or be working towards Unit V2 or hold D35 and are strongly advised to hold Unit V1 or D34

4.1.4 have sufficient experience assessing and/or internally verifying within Nail Service NVQs/SVQs.

5 Assessors and verifiers for non-technical units who are not nail technicians

5.1 There are several units in the NVQs/SVQs that cover generic skills, assessed in a Nail Services context. Some centres use assessors and verifiers from other occupations to assess and verify these.

5.2 ENTO Units HSS1 and HSS3, ICS Unit 10, SFEDI Units BD1 and BI2 have been imported into the Habia standards: Assessors of these units must meet the requirements laid down by these Standards Setting Bodies in their Assessment Strategies


153

5.3 Non-technical Nail Services Habia units: the same criteria as for assessors and internal verifiers who are nail technicians will apply, inserting the relevant NVQ/SVQ or equivalent qualification or experience and the relevant occupational area. This does not apply to external verifiers who will always be nail technicians for the Habia units. For the sake of clarification, Nail Services units cannot be internally verified by non-nail technicians.

i Occupational expertise requirements for assessors who are not nail technicians.

Non Nail Technician Assessors must have the relevant Level 2 and Level 3 NVQs/SVQs plus substantial relevant industrial experience or substantial operational experience that is current and appropriate to the level(s) of NVQ/SVQ units they are intending to assess. Where individuals have qualifications other than the relevant NVQs/SVQs, they or their centre should contact their Awarding Body to determine the acceptability of these qualifications. Assessors will only be able to assess those units in which they have formally demonstrated their competence

OR

have shown evidence of operational experience.

For NVQs, UKCES requires that assessors hold Unit A1 or A2 (if just recording observations)

OR

Unit D32 and/or Unit D33. New assessors must have a clear action plan for achieving Unit A1 and/or Unit A2 within eighteen months of beginning assessment duties. Assessment decisions by assessors who are still working towards certification must be supported by an assessor or verifier who has gained certification. This can be achieved by checking a sample of assessment decisions.

For SVQs, SQA Accreditation requires that assessors be occupationally competent and must hold Units A1 and/or A2,

OR

hold D32 and/or D33.

Please note that Habia generally requires assessors hold or are working towards Unit A1

OR

hold D32 and D33. In addition, in this case where the assessor does not have a Nail Services background, then she/he must have obtained a working knowledge of the Nail Services industry as the context for assessment, through briefing or induction, or ideally through a period of experience in a salon.

ii Occupational expertise requirements for internal verifiers who are not nail technicians.

Non Nail Services internal verifiers must have the relevant Level 3 NVQs/SVQs plus sufficient relevant industrial experience


154

OR

substantial operational experience that is current and appropriate to the level(s) of NVQ/SVQ units they are intending to internally verify. Where individuals have qualifications other than the relevant NVQs/SVQs, they or their centre should contact their Awarding Body to determine the acceptability of these qualifications. They must also have at least sufficient experience of assessing the relevant NVQs/SVQs or relevant units.

For NVQs, UKCES requires that internal verifiers hold Unit V1 or D34 and, it is recommended, also hold Unit A1 or D32 and D33. New internal verifiers must have a clear action plan for achieving Unit V1 within eighteen months of beginning internal verification. Without an appropriately qualified internal verifier, the centre must understand that it cannot submit claims for certification to the Awarding Body.

For SVQs, SQA Accreditation requires that internal verifiers be occupationally competent and must hold or be working towards Unit V1

OR

hold D34. Unit A1 or D33 is also desirable

Please note that Habia requires all internal verifiers hold Unit A1 or D32 and D33 and hold or are working towards V1. In addition, in this case where the internal verifier does not have a Nail Services background, then she/he must have obtained a working knowledge of the Nail Services industry as the context for assessment, through briefing or induction, or ideally through a period of experience in a salon.

In this case where assessors and/or internal verifiers do not have a Nail Services background, then a period of experience in a salon or attending Nail Services specific event(s) relevant to the units being assessed or verified will help them become more familiar with the requirements of the Nail Services industry.

* Where individuals have qualifications other than the Nail Services NVQs/SVQs, they or their centre should contact their Awarding Body to determine the acceptability of these qualifications. Assessors will only be able to assess those units in which they have formally demonstrated their competence or have shown evidence of operational experience.

** Substantial operational experience means substantial hands on work served within the Nail Services industry. This can include time in any role in the Nail Services industry, for example as a technician, trainer, lecturer, assessor, verifier or salon manager/owner.


155

Appendix 1E: Requirements For Continuing Professional Development For Assessors And Verifiers Of Nail Services Technical Units

From 1 September 2001 as a condition of centre approval and continuing centre approval, centres were required to establish an ongoing, fully resourced Staff Development Plan, capable of supporting the Habia CPD requirement. (Preferably, such a Staff Development Plan should link to IIP or other formally recognised quality assurance systems.)

Assessors and verifiers must be able to demonstrate to the Awarding Body how they keep their Nail Services technical skills and knowledge up-to-date and to the occupational level at which they are assessing and/or verifying. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) must take place throughout the careers of assessors and verifiers.

This must include the completion of a minimum number of hours CPD in each twelve month period using activities approved for CPD (see below).

The minimum, annual CPD requirement for assessors and verifiers is as follows:

A total, minimum requirement for 30 hours CPD per annum which does not have to be consecutive.

The CPD requirement must be carried out in one or a combination of the types of activities listed below. No activity will carry a ‘double hours’ allowance.

‘hands on’ delivery of Nail Services to fee paying clients in a commercial salon that can be shown to develop individual skill and knowledge levels

undertaking technical Nail Services training that develops new and/or updates existing skills and/or knowledge levels

further nails services qualification work

The following activities will not count towards CPD:

reading the trade press and books

listening to tapes and watching videos

(However, the above are recommended for background knowledge to support CPD but are not approved for inclusion in the CPD hours requirement)

Individuals must provide relevant and suitable evidence that CPD has taken place within each 12 month period to be measured from 1 September — 31 August.


156

Explanatory Notes:

i technical Nail Services training — external and internal workshops and training sessions are eligible.

ii commercial salon — this is defined as a salon where the majority of nail technicians are already qualified and the main function of the salon is not training and assessment. If a training salon in a centre is closed and reopened as a commercial salon, eg during holiday periods, then this is an acceptable location for CPD to be undertaken. If there is any doubt as to the acceptability of the arrangement, guidance should be sought from Habia.

iii Nail Services qualification work — the aim of this option is to encourage assessors and verifiers to gain new skills or to update current ones. Work undertaken for this option must lead to a formally assessed and accredited qualification or unit of an NVQ/SVQ.

A nominal 30 hours has been allocated to the achievement of any Nail Services unit qualification in any one CPD year. The same unit should not be taken twice during the lifetime of any particular NVQ/SVQ or repeated within any 5 year period.

Other activities may be acceptable for CPD for which prior approval should be gained from Habia.

Calculating CPD Hours

a CPD for existing assessors and verifiers is measured within each 12 month period, taken from 1 September – 31 August each year.

b CPD hours for new assessors and verifiers shall be measured from the date their duties commence.

c Assessors and verifiers who take leave from assessment or verification duties during any twelve month period will be able to collect CPD pro rata.

d The CPD hours for part-time assessors and verifiers will be calculated pro rata based on a nominal 37 hour week. However, a minimum of 5 hours CPD in any twelve month period must be carried out by all part-time assessors and verifiers.

For example, an assessor contracted for 7 hours/week: 7 37 x 100 = approx. 20% of a full time assessor. 20% x 30 hours = 6 hours CPD in any 12 month period.

a A nominal time of 30 hours per NVQ/SVQ unit achieved has been set, regardless of the unit.

b If you are an assessor and a verifier, you only have to do the minimum of 30 hours CPD, not 60 hours.

c All External Verifiers must complete a minimum of 30 hours CPD per annum regardless of actual hours worked as an External Verifier.


157

Appendix 1F: Nationally Agreed Maximum Service Times For Nail Services NVQ/SVQ Assessment Purposes

The 2010 revised National Occupational Standards (NOS) require that technical services are carried out ‘in a commercially viable time’. To ensure consistent NVQ/SVQ assessment practices, Habia has developed a nationally agreed set of maximum service times for certain, critical services for each level of NVQ/SVQ. These times are shown below.

Note: Specialist treatments may require longer following manufacturers’ instructions.

Range of Service Times for Level 3 Nail Services

Owing to the nature of many of the services in the Level 3 NVQ/SVQs, it is not possible to set a precise time for completion. Times for critical aspects of Nail Services are quoted below.

Please note that the type, depth and breadth of services listed are those described in the Level 3 Nail Services Standards only.

Service

(excluding consultation and preparation)

Minutes (Maximum)

1. Nail enhancements (full set) 120

2. Nail enhancement maintenance – 1 colour 90

3. Nail enhancement maintenance – 2 colours 120

4. Nail enhancement removal 60

5. Airbrushing Nail Services 45

Note:

Standard service times have not been specified for the following treatments:

Electric filing

Advanced creative nail art designs.

This is because service times will vary dramatically according to client needs, treatment requirements and service delivery.
