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:
indentify, use and store consumables used in a digital workflow
monitor stock levels of consumables
find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.
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 colour management production
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 in using and monitoring digital media consumables.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICPPR286A Finish a digital product.
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.
