Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to operate and monitor machines under supervision according to enterprise requirements.It applies to individuals working as machine-minders and off-siders assisting in the operation of a machine. This unit is an integral part of most printing and converting, and binding and finishing produce units. 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 Support field of work and include access to a printing or converting machine in a production environment.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
