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 products involving a range of minor flatbed cutting processes including kiss cutting hole punching hole drilling slotting slitting sheeting creasing scoring and pin perforating indexing and round cornering according to job specifications and production timeframes

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

competency must be demonstrated on THREE different processes For each process produce TWO jobs with different types and sizes of substrate and design of finished patterns according to manufacturers and job specifications enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria

demonstrate use of computerised control monitoring and data entry systems if available and appropriate

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

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 Prepare load and unload reels and cores on and off machine

ICPSU201C Prepare, load and unload reels and cores on and off machine

ICPSUC Prepare load and unload product on and off machine

ICPSU202C Prepare, load and unload product on and off machine

ICPSUC Operate and monitor machines basic

ICPSU208C Operate and monitor machines (basic).

Since the component processes often occur as inline processes they may also be assessed at the same time as virtually any printing converting binding and finishing or corrugating process

Substrate handling may include:

Cutting process may include:

In-line processes may include:
