Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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:

ensure addresses are affixed securely and in the correct position and any production problems are fixed with minimum downtime

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

the individual must complete TWO entire jobs within enterprise accepted timeframes

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

access to a Cheshire labelling machine.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are 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, for example:

ICPSU243C Reconcile process outputs.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery and lifting materials

literacy skills to read job specifications

basic numeracy skills to reconcile mail

basic materials handling and use of technology skills

literacy skills to read job specifications and document an information matching trail

effective communication with colleagues and supervisors

teamwork with colleagues and supervisors to maintain the production process

identifying problems and faults and developing solutions

planning and organising to ensure that materials are in the correct order and are collated correctly

Required knowledge

waste disposal procedures

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Mailing procedures may include:

job could be mailed or returned to client.

Materials may include:

Cheshire labels

gummed labels that can be used on a Cheshire machine

water or glue.

Machine may include:

Cheshire machine.
