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!

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:

produce a complex fastened product that meets job specifications, production timeframes and quality standards

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

competency must be demonstrated in any ONE of adhesive, mechanical or section sewing. For each process produce TWO complex jobs using different sizes and weights of substrate according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria

demonstrate use of computerised control, monitoring and data entry systems if available and appropriate.

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.

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.

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.

Substrate handling may include:

large or small sheet/section handling systems.

In-line processes may include:

minor processes that are integral to this competency can include basic in-line operations such as perforating, numbering, slitting that do not in themselves constitute another defined unit of competency. Where a major in-line process is defined as a separate competency (eg flat-bed cutting, folding) it should be assessed as such.

Fastening processes may include:

adhesive fastening such as cold and hot melt gluing, taping of substrates of varied form, weight or shape, eg hard case making, casing in, spine lining

mechanical fastening such as wire stitching, loop stitching of substrates of varied form, weight or shape

section sewing.

Fastening units may include:

a range of machines with manual, semi-automated, fully automated or computerised process control.

Complexity may include:

complex refers to use of automatic adhesive and thermal machines, multiple head mechanical machines, section sewers.

Substrate types mat include:

range of substrates within the major categories of paper, pressure sensitive material, board, plastics and related films, or metal.
