Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a reel or sheet-fed machine, ensuring efficient production and maintaining quality standards. It applies to individuals working in the printing and graphic arts industry performing a range of mainly routine tasks, who work under direct supervision and use limited practical skills and knowledge in a defined context. 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 printing field of work and include access to:

reel- or sheet-fed machine.

special purpose tools, equipment and materials

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
