location of machine manuals safety and other documentation relevant to this task and information included in these documents

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

correctly set up machines for a range of laminating processes according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

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

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

set up laminating machine to complete TWO or more ply laminating jobs on different substrates and of different sizes if possible including one inline process in minimum time 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

The following assessment method is appropriate for this unit

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of onthejob performance by the candidate

observation of practical tasks

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example
