Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up and produce a hand-made box. It applies to the binding and finishing sector, not the carton sector of the industry. 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 facilities, equipment and materials used to produce a hand-made box.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
