Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to safely set up and operate an intelligent in-line cut sheet form feeder, folder and inserter mail machine and perform production tasks involving off-loading, packing and labelling completed packages for distribution, and identifying any production problems.It applies to individuals who work under direct supervision performing mainly routine tasks with some accountability for completing requirements in accordance with job specifications and internal procedures.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the converting, binding and finishing field of work and include access to:

in-line cut sheet form feeder

folder and inserter

special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
