Unit of Competency ICPCBF395 - Set up and operate folder gluer machine
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up and operate a folder gluer machine with minimum downtime or wastage.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 a folder gluer machine and other special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
