Unit of Competency ICPSUP263 - Perform basic industry calculations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to perform basic trade calculations and measurements.It applies to individuals who perform a range of mainly routine tasks in various sectors of the printing and graphic arts industry, using limited practical skills and fundamental knowledge in a defined context. 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 Support field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Calculate costs and dimensions

1.1 Additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions of costs and dimensions are correctly calculated

1.2 Material and time costs are correctly calculated for elements of a job/brief

1.3 Percentages of cost and time are correctly calculated to fulfil requirements of a job/brief

1.4 Results of calculations are correctly recorded

2. Calculate area, density and volume

2.1 Density and/or volume of fluids and colours are correctly calculated and applied

2.2 Percentages of densities and volumes are correctly calculated to fulfil requirements of a job/brief

3. Use basic measuring tools and apply results of measurement

3.1 Appropriate measuring tools are selected and used correctly and accurately

3.2 Measurements are correctly interpreted and used in appropriate calculations

Evidence of the ability to:

perform numerical calculations involving basic arithmetic, percentages and geometry to calculate costs, dimensions, weights, areas, density and volumes

complete activities using basic measuring tools used in the printing industry

document the results of calculations.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain how to perform quick approximations of expected answers

describe parallax errors and how they affect measurements

explain how acceptable tolerances in measurement are determined

list the measuring tools available in the workplace and briefly describe the function of each tool.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.

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.
