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:

correctly set up and use binding and finishing equipment to produce finished digitally printed products according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

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

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

finish a digital product using two different types of binding and/or finishing

set up equipment and produce two bound and/or finished digitally printed products (for each type of binding and/or finishing),according to manufacturer's and job specifications and enterprise procedures.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

that conditions are typical ambient conditions found in the workplace

access to relevant facilities, equipment and materials used for converting and finishing of digitally printed products, such as trimmers, small guillotines, electronic staple machines and wiro binding units

use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

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

third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

practical demonstration by the candidate when converting and finishing a digitally printed product.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

ICPPR384A Set up and produce basic digital print.

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

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

communication skills for reporting faulty equipment performance and completing production records and other documentation

teamwork skills for maintaining the production process in association with other workers

numeracy skills for calculating production run and completing documentation

technical skills for using electronic finishing equipment

problem-solving skills for recognising finishing faults and determining adjustments

Required knowledge

OHS factors needed to be addressed when adjusting machinery

safety measures that should be taken when setting up and operating finishing equipment

information concerning binding that is found in the job documentation or production control system

factors that determine the correct binding technique for a job

advantages and disadvantages of wiro and comb binding

advantages and disadvantages of saddle and side stitching

problems that may occur when folding a digitally printed job
