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 ensure addresses are affixed securely and in the correct position and any production problems are fixed with minimum downtime demonstrate all safety devices on the machine the individual must complete TWO entire jobs within enterprise accepted timeframes 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 access to a Cheshire labelling machine
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 onthejob performance by the candidate
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example ICPSUC Reconcile process outputs ICPSU243C Reconcile process outputs.
