Key Benefits
These resources support delivery of SHBHCUT005 Cut hair using over-comb techniques by helping learners consult with clients, analyse hair characteristics and select over-comb techniques to suit the planned design. Trainers and assessors can use them to structure activities around establishing guidelines, using scissors over the fine or coarse end of the comb, blending interior and exterior lengths with clippers, using clipper attachments and outlining around the ears, sideburns and neckline.
Your RTO should still carry out independent validation to confirm alignment with your specific delivery context and learner cohort, as required under the Standards for RTOs. Use the assessment mapping as your starting point.
