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:

imposition that best meets the job specifications and substrate size

the underlying skill of solving complex technical problems of imposition to conform to brief specifications 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

produce TWO complex impositions 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, equipment and industry software packages 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, production requirements and imposition schemes 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 fit, spatial relationships between elements, impositions and colour profiles

problem-solving skills by adjusting fit and imposition schemes to production requirements so that output meets the job brief

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

Required knowledge

examples of how subsequent printing processes or electronic output affect imposition

imposition marks and why are they there

difference between saddle stitch and perfect binding

head margins

difference between sheetwise and work and turn

trapping requirements that apply for specific jobs

saving a PostScript file

imposition set up document

installing fold and cut marks

nominating creep settings

creep and bottling

availability of a server signature program to the output station

technique that is used to verify that pictures and fonts are available

mock-up and why is it used

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

other sources of information that are available

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.

Imposition software may include:

may include Imposition Publisher, Preps, DynaStrip, Impose-X, FACILIS IM, Panther PageImposer. New software applications and new versions of existing products enter the market regularly and therefore this example group will change

imposition plug-ins (eg Quark Express, Impolite) and imposition components of page layout applications where imposition is completely automated are not appropriate for assessing this unit of competency.

Input may include:

complex imposition data.

Capture may include:

any desktop or proprietary computing system.

Manipulation/edit may include:

a suitable imposition application.

Output may include:

printers, hard disk, imagesetters, digital proofers or plotters.

Complexity may include:

complex refers to intricate and detailed imposition and may include difficult cuts for packaging, design variations, folds and bindings.

Quality standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.
