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:

reclaim screens, preferably of different mesh and stencil types commonly used in the industry, using manual techniques, according to job specifications

demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

reclaim THREE screens, preferably of different mesh and stencil types commonly used in the workplace, using manual techniques, according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria.

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:

skills and knowledge are demonstrated in a range of situations and in an environment that realistically reflects the workplace

access to a range of relevant tools, equipment, materials, resources and documentation used when reclaiming screens in the printing industry

application of the most current workplace procedures, processes and techniques used in the printing industry.

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.

reasons for selecting chemicals and method for screen reclamation

chemical handling and disposal

main considerations when handling and disposing of chemicals

reclamation techniques

various screen reclamation techniques available in the industry

reasons for selecting and applying a specific technique for screen reclamation

OHS constraints

hazards to be aware of in reclaiming screens

enterprise material handling policies?

personal protective clothing that should be worn when reclaiming screens

manuals, safety and other relevant documentation and the information included in these documents

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.

Ink, stencil and frametypes may include:

ink systems, stencil and frame types in common use in specific industry sectors.

Chemical type may include:

chemicals and solvents commonly used for the reclamation of screens.

Enterprise procedures may include:

tasks must be performed according to enterprise procedures and OHS requirements.

Mesh type may include:

all types of mesh material, thread counts, thicknesses, colours and weaves used in specific industry sectors.

Tension measurement techniques may include:

various different tension measurement techniques in common use in specific industry sectors.

Degree of autonomy may include:

working under supervision to previously defined procedures to ensure production requirements are met.

Quality standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.

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.
