Whilst treatment portfolios will not be graded, they may be sampled by the VTCT External Quality Assurer (EQA). Evidence from the graded practical assessment must also be presented in the treatment portfolio. 3

4 2. Graded practical assessment Learners must carry out a complete manicure treatment which will be observed, marked and graded by centre assessors. The grade achieved in the graded practical assessment will be the grade awarded for the unit. The graded practical assessment must take place in a real or realistic working environment on a real client. At a minimum the graded practical assessment for this unit must cover: Treatment one manicure treatment including one specialised treatment. Polish application must be a dark polish Specialised hand treatment learners must choose from one of the following to complement the manicure: paraffin wax, thermal mitts, mask Resources appropriate selection of equipment to demonstrate the full range of treatment and to meet the treatment needs and outcomes Products as a minimum the candidate is expected to demonstrate the use of nail enamel remover, cuticle massage cream or oil, cuticle remover, an exfoliation product, massage mediums, base coat, nail enamel (frosted or pearl, top coat, quick dry products) Recorded professional discussion can also be used as an assessment method attached to the graded practical assessment and is particularly useful for gathering evidence for criteria related to evaluation and reflection. Professional discussions should be planned and recorded. 3. External examination Whilst the theory content of LO1and LO2 may be naturally assessed in the graded practical assessment, they will be tested by external examination towards the end of the period of learning. External examinations will test knowledge and understanding from across the whole vocational area (mandatory units). Learners should use the unit content section of this unit to aid revision since exam questions will test the full breadth of this section. External examinations will be set and marked by VTCT and will contribute to the overall qualification grade. 4. Graded synoptic assessment In the last term or final third of their qualification, learners will be required to undertake a graded synoptic assessment. This will require learners to carry out a range of treatments from across the whole vocational area (mandatory units). Assessment coverage will vary year on year, although all services will be covered over time. VTCT will set a brief for centres which will detail the treatments to be covered in the graded synoptic assessment. Grading descriptors for the synoptic assessment will also be provided by VTCT. The graded synoptic assessment will be marked and graded by centre staff and externally verified by VTCT. The graded synoptic assessment will contribute to the overall qualification grade. 4

12 Skin cancer awareness Please note this information will not be assessed for the achievement of this unit. Public awareness of skin cancer has never been higher, and yet skin cancer remains the fastest growing cancer in the UK, especially amongst young people. The chances of a positive outcome can be dramatically increased with early identification and diagnosis. Professionals in hair, beauty, sports massage and health and wellbeing industries work closely with clients and in many cases have sight of areas of skin which may not be easily visible to the client. An informed awareness of the signs, symptoms and changes of appearance to be aware of when checking for early signs of cancer is a crucial tool for the conscientious practitioner in order to provide the most thorough service and in some cases, possibly lifesaving information signposting. Signs to look for when checking moles include utilising the ABCDE guide: A - Asymmetry the two halves of the area/mole may differ in their shape and not match. B - Border the edges of the mole area may be irregular or blurred and sometimes show notches or look ragged. C - Colour this may be uneven and patchy. Different shades of black, brown and pink may be seen. D - Diameter most but not all melanomas are at least 6mm in diameter. If any mole gets bigger or changes see your doctor. E - Elevation/evolving elevation means the mole is raised above the surface and has an uneven surface. Looks different from the rest or changing in size, shape or colour. Anyone can get a suspicious mole or patch of skin checked out for free by the NHS by visiting their doctor, who may then refer to a dermatologist (an expert in diagnosing skin cancer). If you require any additional NHS information please refer to If your learners are interested in learning more about skin cancer awareness alongside this qualification, VTCT runs the following qualification: VTCT Level 2 Award in Skin Cancer Awareness for Non-Healthcare Professionals. This qualification has been specifically designed for those working in the sports massage, health and wellbeing, beauty, hairdressing and barbering sectors. It will enable learners to identify any changes to their client s skin and to highlight those changes to the client using appropriate language and communication skills. It will enable the learner to raise awareness of skin cancer and signpost their clients to public information about skin cancer. This qualification will enable hair, beauty and wellbeing professionals to gain the appropriate knowledge and communication skills required to provide non-diagnostic, professional advice and information to clients in a discrete, empathetic and confidential manner. For more information please refer to the Record of Assessment book: G20529.pdf 12

17 Resources The special resources required for this unit are access to a real or realistic working environment which supports the provision of manicure treatments. Learners must also have access to health and safety standards, manufacturers instructions and manicure products and equipment. Delivery guidance Teachers are encouraged to use innovative, practical and engaging delivery methods to enhance the learning experience. Learners may benefit from: Meaningful employer engagement so they relate what is being learned to the real world of work and understand commercial competency and product, tools and equipment usage Work experience within a commercial spa or beauty salon so they can practise their skills in a real and supervised environment Using interactive information and technology, systems and hardware so they can learn about concepts and theories; research current trends; research product knowledge and produce visual aids Links with other units This unit is closely linked with the following units and should be assessed in line with the following guidance: UCO34M Health, safety and hygiene The health and safety unit will provide knowledge and understanding of the responsibilities for health and safety as defined by any specific legislation covering the role of a professional therapist/technician. This unit greatly underpins all practical unit delivery. Learners will be required to apply their knowledge and understanding of health and safety when preparing for a service/treatment in a real or realistic working environment. UBT193M Consultation techniques and client care Client consultation before all nail services is a legal requirement and failure to consult properly with clients prior to treatment could invalidate therapy insurance. It is essential that therapists/technicians elicit information from their clients about their medical history, including any allergies as well as checking for contra-indications. The client consultation unit underpins all technical units within this qualification and should be delivered prior to the delivery of any technical beauty therapy unit. UBT215M Anatomy and physiology for nail technologists or UBT202M Anatomy and physiology for beauty therapists The anatomy and physiology unit will provide knowledge of the structure and function of the nails and surrounding structures, as well as the relevant diseases and disorders the therapist is likely to encounter, in the areas under treatment. The anatomy and physiology unit most significantly underpins the knowledge and practical skills gained in the practical nail units. Other elements of anatomy and physiology are also relevant to this unit in terms of understanding contra-indications to treatment as well as possible contra-actions. Graded synoptic assessment At the end of the qualification of which this unit forms part, there will be a graded synoptic assessment which will assess the learner s ability to identify and use effectively in an integrated way an appropriate selection of skills, techniques, concepts, theories, and knowledge from a number of units from within the qualification. It is therefore necessary and important that units are delivered and assessed together and synoptically to prepare learners suitably for their final graded assessment. 17
