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:

operate a platen, cylinder or rotary printing machine ensuring an efficient routine production flow that maintains product quality standards

rectify production problems with minimum downtime

shut down machine correctly and clean according to OHS guidelines

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

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

manipulate embellishment tools and operations

produce two basic relief printing jobs (if possible including at least one in-line process) 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 and equipment,including platen, cylinder or rotary printing machines

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

practical demonstration by the candidate when setting up and producing a basic relief printed product.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended. Evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity with other units, for example:

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

ICPSU202C Prepare, load and unload product on and off machine

ICPSU208C Operate and monitor machines (basic)

ICPPR393A Set up for basic relief printing.

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.

location of information concerning the correct operation of the machine

shutdown and wash procedures

dangers from solvents and solutions used to clean the inking system, plates, cylinders and the press

procedures for correctly storing plates following printing

parts of the machine that should be thoroughly cleaned following the print run

components that should be inspected for wear following the print run

important records to be kept for repeat prints

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