Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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:

follow a digital production workflow and produce work to an enterprise standard

find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

that conditions are typical ambient conditions found in the workplace

access to relevant facilities, equipment and materials used in a digital production workflow, such as high-end graphics and layout software, digital output devices and finishing equipment

use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

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

third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

practical demonstration by the candidate following a digital production workflow.

Guidance information for assessment

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

ICPPR384A Set up produce and basic digital print

ICPPR385A Apply software applications to digital production.

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

occupational health and safety (OHS) in relation to using correct ergonomics when operating the computer

communication of ideas and information by dealing with clients

collecting, analysing and organising information by successfully storing and retrieving files

planning and organising activities by completing work tasks efficiently

teamwork skills when maintaining the digital workflow in association with others

mathematical ideas and techniques when calculating required materials for a job

problem-solving skills used when fixing file errors

self-management and learning skills to evaluate and enhance personal effectiveness

using technology when utilising computer to produce a job

Required knowledge

different procedures within a digital workflow

order in which procedures are undertaken within a digital workflow

types of equipment used in a digital workflow

types of software used in a digital workflow

printing processes that can be used within a digital workflow

binding and finishing techniques that can be used within a digital workflow

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Production processes may include:

client liaison

electronic file creation

proofing

printing

binding and finishing

dispatch.

Equipment may include:

computers

digital printing devices

binding and finishing equipment.

Materials may include:

substrates

staples

binding wire

combs.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
