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 ability to

set up and monitor inline printing operations that would tend to be complex in nature and incorporated into other printing processes

set up and monitor one or more inline processes on TWO occasions according to job specifications enterprise procedures and the Performance Criteria

evidence for assessment can be gathered from a combination of activities of a number of units of competency

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

reel or sheetfed machine that incorporates an inline process or operation described in the Range Statement

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
