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 ability to:

the page layout and overall design meet the job specifications, reproduction requirements and final end use

the underlying skill of combining and assembling should be transferable across the design and pre-press sectors. It is important that the substrate for reproduction is identified and that the competencies be demonstrated with a clear identification of printing processes

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

use a desktop platform (or high-end system) with appropriate layout, design and drafting software to combine and assemble TWO jobs following the job brief and according to 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. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

it is expected that special purpose tools and equipment will be used where appropriate.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information by interpreting implicit and explicit requirements of the job brief

collecting, analysing and organising information by accessing data on software capabilities and production requirements and matching them with the job brief

planning and organising activities by planning the sequence of operations to facilitate smooth processing of the job

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others

mathematical ideas and techniques by calculating enlargement/reduction factors, fit, spatial relationships between elements and colour profiles

problem-solving skills by adjusting fit and using colour correction so that output meets requirements of the brief

use of technology by using software correctly to ensure ease of subsequent processing

Required knowledge

creating a page layout according to job specifications?

function of electronic trapping of image elements as applied to image assembly

trapping and job specification

step and repeat layout to suit a job specification

main criteria for evaluating the final output

requirements of a contract proof as compared to an in-house check proof

manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where are they kept and information that is included in these documents

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.

Output may include:

Imagesetter, laser printer, CTP, digital print.

Input may include:

specific elements of type and/or screened images to be supplied either as hard copy or electronic files and along with layout or detailed job brief.

Capture may include:

scanning device and/or electronic file storage.

Manipulation/edit may include:

appropriate software relative to image input.

Complexity may include:

fairly simple layouts with text and colour images.

Quality standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.
