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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence	Demonstrates skills and knowledge to: analyse design specifications and interpret production requirements identify and address faults determine requirements of design and conversion to print make minor adjustments to equipment use printing techniques to achieve design effects recognise and apply stencil application for image use, design and printing techniques evaluate own work and conduct quality checks
Consistency in performance	Consistently applies skills and knowledge when: organising work completing tasks identifying improvements using workplace practices using OH&S practices recording and reporting accidents and incidents assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment
Resource implications	Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OH&S practices.
Context for assessment	Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.
Interdependent assessment	This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates skills to:

use tools and equipment associated with screen printing

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material

maintain accurate records

communicate within the workplace

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OH&S practices

Demonstrates knowledge of:

characteristics of stencil and screen types

specific design and printing practices

printing processes and practices

different types of screens and meshes

different types of medium

stencil and printing techniques

OH&S practices, including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements	All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Appropriate personnel may include	trainers colleagues mentors designers members of the design team
Conversion technique may include	basic stencils hand cut and hand drawn stencils photosensitive stencils autographic digitally generated stencils multi coloured separations.
Media may include	ruby lithe designers opaque ink black wax crayon digital prints drafting film pen
Design outcome may include	repeat patterns border designs placement prints engineered designs banners
Screen types include	timber, steel, aluminium framed butt, mitre, nailed, glued, screwed, welded rectangle, rotary, hat, flat bed
Meshes include	mesh types: material nylon polyester metal colour: white yellow red size mono or multi-filament
Screen preparation may include	checking for mesh tension degreasing haze removing registration marks applied coating
Finished includes	touch up and tape as required wash image clean and dry check for pinholes clean wash out of image
Tools and equipment may include	rulers and tape measures light boxes graph paper photocopier overhead projector photocopier computer equipment CAD software tables
OH&S practices	OH&S practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include: manual handling techniques standard operating procedures personal protective equipment safe materials handling taking of rest breaks ergonomic arrangement of workplaces following marked walkways safe storage of equipment housekeeping reporting accidents and incidents other OH&S practices relevant to the job and enterprise
Screen and stencil and production faults include	uneven screen coating incorrectly stretched screen mesh poorly registered artwork / separations inaccurate repeat measurements incorrect exposure time used wet coating trough causing pinholes warped screen frames insufficient print paste used off printing poorly developed image poor quality colour separations stencil opacity insufficient
