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

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

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit

correct processing of colour negatives and transparencies and colour prints which demonstrate the application of selected techniques

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for

practical demonstration of skills using required equipment and materials and selected techniques for colour processing and printing

presence of time constraints that reflect industry practice and standards

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge and might include

direct observation of the candidate using colour processing and printing techniques

questioning and discussion about candidates intention and work outcome

verbal or written reports

evaluation of work prints produced by the candidate

review of folios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands eg literacy and the needs of particular groups eg people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English remote communities and those with interrupted schooling
