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:
correctly set up and use binding and finishing equipment to produce finished digitally printed products according to job specifications and within the production timeframe
find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources
demonstrate all safety devices on the machine
finish a digital product using two different types of binding and/or finishing
set up equipment and produce two bound and/or finished digitally printed products (for each type of binding and/or finishing),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, equipment and materials used for converting and finishing of digitally printed products, such as trimmers, small guillotines, electronic staple machines and wiro binding units
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 when converting and finishing a digitally printed product.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICPPR384A Set up and produce basic digital print.
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.
