Issue Date: April 2024


This unit requires the individual to inspect and cut substrate according to job specifications and end use of the product.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to inspect and cut substrate according to job specifications.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

inspect and cut substrate according to job specifications

for valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

guillotine and associated equipment.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information by ensuring substrate quality standards

collecting, analysing and organising information by inspecting the substrate and its print capability, including the need for any special preparation requirements

planning and organising activities by taking necessary preventive action to avoid wastage and to ensure best yield with respect to grain direction and the type of substrate selected

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others

mathematical ideas and techniques by setting clamping pressures and adjusting them according to job specifications

problem-solving skills by checking quality of cuts to ensure quality standards are met

use of technology by using guillotines and other equipment to prepare and cut screen print substrate

Required knowledge

information contained in job specifications

process for checking guillotine knives

guillotine set up and operation

safe guillotine handling and operation

proper stacking and storage of processed substrate

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Substrates may include:

range of substrates in categories of paper, paperboard, corrugated board, plastics.

Cut may include:

single knife, manual guillotines.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
