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:

Correctly set up and produce hand-fastened products according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

Demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

Demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

Competency must be demonstrated in TWO areas of: adhesive/thermal (drawn on cover or heated binding tape application), mechanical (wire stitcher or heavy duty stapler including saddle and flat stitching), hand sewing (single and multi-section books)

For each area set up equipment and produce TWO basic hand-fastened products of different thickness and spine length to demonstrate equipment adjustment, according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria.

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

Assessment off the job must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.

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:

ICPCF220C Produce basic converted or finished product.

Depending on the configuration of equipment and types of jobs, virtually any other converting, binding and finishing set up unit can be assessed at the same time.

Fastening process may include:

adhesive fastening such as:

cold and hot melt gluing

taping

mechanical fastening such as wire stitching, velo, comb and wire binding

hand section sewing.

Fastening units may include:

a range of manually operated equipment.

Substrate types may include:
