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:

proofing is free from errors and final output to digital printer/plotter conforms to the job specifications

the underlying skills of outputting an image should be transferable across the pre-press sector. It is important that the substrate for reproduction is identified and that the competency 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

calibrate and use at least TWO devices to output to film, paper or plate, images captured electronically 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 the job brief

collecting, analysing and organising information by matching the specifications of output devices and file formats to ensure output meets the job brief

planning and organising activities by managing print queues to facilitate workflow

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others

mathematical ideas and techniques by adjusting output devices so that output matches data files and the job brief

problem-solving skills by adjusting output devices so that output matches data files and the job brief

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

Required knowledge

the types of output devices used in pre-press

considerations that would determine the application of these devices

function of the calibration software

calibrating at least TWO different output devices to ensure job specifications are achieved

procedure for downloading a file to the output device

main considerations to ensure accurate transfer of the file

correct handling and material loading of the output device

correctly identifying a processed image

factors that control image quality through a processor

criteria for identifying a correctly transferred file

requirement of the image to meet job specifications

meeting job specifications

the criteria for evaluating a final film

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:

commercial digital printers/plotters (not office laser printers), paper image setters, plate setters and all PostScript devices.

Input may include:

files from a variety of software sources.

Quality standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.
