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 single or continuous folded product that meets the job specifications production timeframes and quality requirements

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

Produce TWO jobs if possible using different sizes and weights of substrate EITHER with a single fold to run continuously OR a single quire fold on a sheet gatherstitchfoldtrim machine OR an automatic webfed machine to achieve a single fold 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

Assessment off the job 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

Range Statement

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.

In-line processes may include:

minor processes that are integral to this competency can include basic in-line operations such as perforating, numbering, slitting that do not in themselves constitute another defined unit of competency. Where a major in-line process is defined as a separate competency (eg flat-bed cutting, folding) it should be assessed as such.

Folding process may include:

single, parallel or continuous folding

a range of machines with manual, semi-automated, fully automated or computerised process control.

Substrate type may include:

range of substrates within the major categories of paper, pressure sensitive material, board, corrugated board, plastics and related films, or metal.

Substrate handling may include:

wide or narrow reel or large or small sheet handling systems.
