Evidence Required
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 following is essential: photographed image meets the quality and look/feel requirements of the brief. The digital camera functions are used to capture the required image understanding of image editing should be transferable across associated sectors of the printing industry evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment appropriate image manipulation software, hardware and file storage capability. |
Method of assessment | The following assessment method is appropriate for this unit: direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended. |
