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!

Evidence of the ability to:

correctly complete TWO different jobs, entering, retrieving and preparing data for personalised printing using both text and graphics with fixed placement.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

identify appropriate computer-specific applications and the process of using them

list information found on job sheets and the process followed to ensure job requirements are met

identify different fonts used and how they may influence database composition

outline issues involved in deciding on image parameters

discuss the process of storing and retrieving digital information

outline expected production standards and any common issues that may arise.
