Record of grades achieved VTCT has graded this qualification by allocating points to three separate assessment elements; the graded practical assessment in units, external examinations and the graded synoptic assessment. VTCT has weighted these assessments according to their relative difficulty (level) and demand (size). The three assessment elements are: 1. Graded practical assessment 2. External examinations 3. Graded synoptic assessment Assessors should record the grades achieved in each assessment element by completing each section. VTCT Level 2 Diploma in Barbering 7
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. Practical assessment Mandatory units Fail Pass Merit Distinction UHB169M 0 175 210 245 UHB177M 0 250 300 350 UHB152M 0 140 160 180 UHB179M 0 225 270 315 UHB180M 0 425 510 595 UHB181M 0 100 120 140 UHB151M 0 140 160 180 UCO34M 0 N/A N/A N/A UHB175M 0 125 150 175 Total points Assessor IQA (if sampled) Learner EQA (if sampled) 8 VTCT Level 2 Diploma in Barbering
