Evidence Required

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

produce a range of simple straight line folded and glued cartons on one of the following machines a Royal a Bobst Media or a Bobst Domino

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

produce at least FOUR simple straight line folded and glued cartons of different sizes and weights according to manufacturers 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

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

for example a Royal a Bobst Media or a Bobst Domino

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
