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, 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 profile cutting units for manufacturing the following types of envelope: banker, open-sided wallet, open-ended pocket and automatic filling, according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance in setting cutting profiles

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 both of theses. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

access to profile cutting machinery used for cutting envelope profiles.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery

communication skills when checking and confirming job specifications

planning and organising setting up the machine before producing a sample

teamwork when maintaining the production process by working in association with others

using technology such as profile cutting units during the manufacture of envelopes

problem solving when monitoring quality standards and making adjustments to machine settings

Required knowledge

common faults associated with profile cutting, what causes them and how to correct them

enterprise documentation procedures

enterprise quality standards

enterprise faults procedures

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. 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) may also be included.

Job specifications may include:

job sheets, batch processing orders, job specs.

Stepped may include:

inched, jogged, moved slowly through the process.
