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:

set up a die or block and the reel or sheet systems and jigs for gold blocking or hot foil stamping. The individual will conduct a proof run and adjust settings to ensure production speeds are attained

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

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

set up for foil stamping on TWO occasions (if possible including at least ONE in-line process if relevant) according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

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

gold blocking or hot foil stamping machine.

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:

ICPSU201C Prepare, load and unload reels and cores on and off machine

ICPSU202C Prepare, load and unload product on and off machine

ICPSU207C Prepare machine for operation (basic)

ICPPR262C Produce foil stamped product.

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 job tickets and requirements

collecting, analysing and organising information by collecting and assessing data about foil stamping process and machine specifications and characteristics and how these interact

planning and organising activities by providing information about time and materials requirements for production scheduling

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others

mathematical ideas and techniques by calculating die position and requirements for foil and substrate

problem-solving skills by recognising proofing faults and determining adjustments to correct them

use of technology by using monitoring equipment and interpreting readouts

Required knowledge

job specifications

procedures if vital information were missing from the job ticket

checks that should be undertaken prior to set up (availability of materials etc.)

web or sheet or product transportation (as relevant)

major OHS concerns when setting up transportation systems

printing side of the material

purpose of nip rollers

how the sheet position is determined for the job

why the same side lay is used in both print and foil stamping

selection of appropriate front lays

how high the side and front lays are to be set

register check be carried out

correct table height

foils and substrates

characteristics that must be considered when selecting foil for foil stamped product

type of foil that would be required for foiling on plastic films

products and the appropriate foils

machine set up

OHS concerns related to the set up

effect of a soft packing on the foil stamped product

methods that can be used to create harder packing

effect a higher dwell time has on the foil stamped product

what temperature would be the starting point when setting up

implications if the temperature was set too high

height that the die should be mounted

required pressure

proofing and adjusting

precautions that should be taken to protect from burns

not using the first sheet or object printed as a proof during set up

cause of an uneven print (top to bottom)

length of time for temperature adjustments to become effective

signs of a temperature setting that is too high

how much the foil should draw through the press on each pass

machine manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where are they kept and information 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.

In-line processes may include:

minor processes that are integral to this competency can include basic in-line operations such as perforating, numbering, date coding, 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.

Machines may include:

a range of foil stamping machines, including machines with computerised monitoring and/or control.

Substrate handling may include:

wide or narrow reel or large or small sheet or 3D object handling systems.

Foils may include:

range of foils used in gold blocking and hot foil stamping.

Substrate types may include:

range of substrates within the major categories of paper, pressure sensitive material, board, wood, plastics and related films, metal injection moulded plastics, moulded plastics, lacquered substrate.

Colour matchingsystems may include:

use of visual colour assessment and matching under controlled lighting conditions.

Design may include:

simple graphics and text. Minor variation in registration and position.
