Graded synoptic assessment Assessors should record the grades achieved in each assessment element by completing each section. VTCT Level 2 Diploma in Barbering 7

8 1. Graded practical assessment All practical mandatory units are graded. Grades awarded for units are based on practical skills observed in performance assessments. Assessors should record the grade achieved by circling the appropriate grade column here. Once all mandatory units have been completed, assessors should add the points achieved for each unit together to calculate the total points for the graded practical assessment.

The graded synoptic assessment varies year on year and covers a range of mandatory units. VTCT issues an annual marking pack for synoptic assessment which is completed by the assessor and sampled by the Internal Quality Assurer and External Quality Assurer.
