CASE STUDY ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Level 2 Board Certified Haircolorist

To earn the Level 2 Board Certified Haircolorist digital badge, the candidate must have first passed the Level 1 Written Assessment. They must then complete five Case Study Assessments that evaluate their ability to analyze, formulate, and resolve complex haircolor scenarios. Each case is worth up to 32 points, with a maximum possible score of 160. A minimum of 128 points is required to pass.

Candidate responses are evaluated through a peer-review process. Answers are compared to model responses developed by a panel of Board Certified Haircolorists and Assessors. Each submission is independently reviewed and scored by three separate assessors to ensure consistency, fairness, and alignment with professional standards.
