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 following is essential:
set up machine to produce a range of simple straight line folded and glued cartons as required in normal production on, for example, a Royal 40, a Bobst Media or a Bobst Domino
demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources
set up machine on at least FOUR occasions for basic straight line folding and gluing of cartons with different weights and sizes of carton board according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria
evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
for example a Royal 40, a Bobst Media or a Bobst Domino.
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 and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended
