First, you are instructed in how to perform a task or skill.
Then, you practice this over again and again, until you no longer require constant supervision but you may still be a little slow at performing the task or skill.
Finally, your trainer no longer watches you, or checks your work, and you can perform that task or skill over and over again and do it in a commercially viable timeframe e.g. shampoo a client's hair in approximately 7 minutes.
WHEN YOU REACH THIS STAGE YOU ARE READY FOR ASSESSMENT!
Assessments take place when:
You feel confident of completing the assessment.
When you have demonstrated the level of competency required.
Have evidence that you can do the task repeatibly.
To be considered competent you must be able to perform a skill within a commercially acceptable timeframe, repeatedly, without any assistance.
