Unit of Competency ICPPRP231 - Manually combine spot colour and basic four-colour images
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manually prepare images and film and combine elements and prepare registration and artwork for the next production stage.It applies to individuals in the printing industry who design and prepare layouts and artwork and manipulate images and texts to meet production requirements. They generally work under direct supervision.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 Pre-Press field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
