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 this training package.

Overview of assessment

A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the Elements, Performance Criteria and skills and knowledge.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that competence is demonstrated in the knowledge and skills defined in this unit. These may include the ability to:

identify critical materials properties and printed and decorated film process characteristics in relation to the process requirements and the end product

take appropriate action to observe equipment, materials and products for out of specification results, make adjustments and identify problems to be reported.

Consistent performance should be demonstrated. For example, look to see that:

production quality and output standards are met consistently

the process runs consistently and smoothly.

Assessment method and context

Assessment will occur on an industrial film printing/decorating machine(s) equipment and will be undertaken in a work-like environment.

Competence in this unit may be assessed:

on an operating plant allowing for operation under all normal and a range of abnormal conditions

in a situation allowing the generation of evidence of the ability to respond to problems

by use of a suitable simulation and/or a range of case studies/scenarios

by a combination of these techniques.

In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge and theoretical assessment will be combined with appropriate practical/simulation or similar assessment. Assessors need to be aware of any cultural issues that may affect responses to questions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oracy, language and literacy capacity of the assessee and the work being performed.

Specific resources for assessment

This section should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement for this unit of competency. Resources required include suitable access to an operating plant or equipment that allows for appropriate and realistic simulation. A bank of case studies/scenarios and questions will also be required to the extent that they form part of the assessment method. Questioning may take place either in the workplace, or in an adjacent, quiet facility such as an office or lunchroom. No other special resources are required.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Required Skills and Knowledge

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

Application of knowledge of the materials, equipment and process sufficient to recognise material and equipment conditions which may lead to out of specification production.

Knowledge of organization procedures and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and work standards.

Competence includes the ability for the practical completion of the job to apply and/or explain:

impact of incorrect or faulty materials

production workflow sequences and materials demand

focus of operation of work systems and equipment

correct selection and use of equipment, materials, processes and procedures

hazards of the materials and process and appropriate hazard control procedures

distinguish between causes of faults such as wrong raw materials, incorrect quantity of materials, contaminated materials

function and operating principles of film printing and decorating equipment

impact of variations in raw materials and equipment operation in relation to final product

material properties and their interactions with process conditions

relationships between material properties and process conditions

changes to material properties to better suit process requirements.

product problems related to material properties

product problems related to process conditions

adjustments to process conditions to meet material and product requirements.

Competency also includes the ability to:

plan own work, including predicting consequences and identifying improvements

identify factors which may affect product quality or production output and appropriate remedies

identify when the operator is able to rectify faults and when assistance is required.

Language, literacy and numeracy requirements

This unit requires the ability to read and interpret typical product specifications, job sheets and material labels as provided to operators.

Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms.

Basic numeracy is also required, eg to determine that 16 units and 46units are equal to a total of 62 units.

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. Add any 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.

Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.

Context

This competency applies to all printing and film decorating equipment within the plastics and rubber industries. It includes the operation of all relevant additional equipment where that equipment is integral to the printing and film decorating process.

Procedures

All operations are performed in accordance with procedures.

Procedures include all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards.

Tools and equipment

This competency includes use of equipment and tools such as:

hand carts and trolleys

knives and other package opening equipment

hoists/lifting equipment not requiring any special permits or licences

relevant personal protective equipment

hand tools used in the printing and decorating process

material loading equipment used for loading of raw materials

relevant personal protective equipment.

Hazards

Typical hazards include:

dusts/vapours/fumes

hazardous materials

manual handling hazards

knife hazards.

Problems

'Anticipate and solve problems' means resolve a wide range of routine and non-routine problems, using product and process knowledge to develop solutions to problems which do not have a known solution/a solution recorded in the procedures.

Typical process and product problems may include:

variations in materials

contamination of materials

equipment operation problems

machine malfunction

product anomalies such as sticking, 'veining', misprints.

Variables

Key variables to be monitored include:

speed

colour

production time

output rate

product integrity and general conformance to specification/sample.
