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:

safely set up, operate and monitor an in-line mail machine and rectify any faults with productions. This will be done with minimum downtime

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

the individual will set up and complete a job that includes multiple inserts and rectify any routine production problems that occur, with minimum downtime

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 an in-line cut sheet form feeder, folder and inserter.

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/observation 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

literacy skills to read job specifications and document results of job reconciliation

basic numeracy skills to reconcile mail

planning and organising by ensuring that materials are in the correct order and position prior to production

teamwork by maintaining the production process in association with others

problem solving by identifying and rectifying faults in the operation of the machine

Required knowledge

waste disposal procedures
