General Information
Requirements
Assessment Method
Assessors can use the criteria to determine levels of prior learning through dialog with the candidate, direct observation and any other appropriate and relevant evidence. They can score each of the criteria "L", "S", "H". An "N" indicates no evidence and this is the default setting. "L" indicates some capability but some help still required and the candidate is not secure with that particular criterion. "S" indicates secure mastery of the criterion. "H" indicates that the candidate is operating beyond the basic requirements of the criterion. If all criteria are matched with "S" or "H" the unit is passed. All criteria must be at least "S" for a pass.
The Entry 3 learner will be becoming increasingly capable of making use of skills, knowledge and understanding to carry out simple structured tasks and activities with occasional guidance and intervention. They will start to relate tasks to contexts and be aware of consequences of actions for themselves and others. While support and guidance are still needed they will demonstrate increasing capability of working self-sufficiently with simple structured tasks.
An activity will typically be 'structured' when:
* there are several steps that need to be sequential; and
* the learner has opportunities to practice the sequence or clear guidance is provided.
1.1 I can monitor production settings
The candidate should be able to monitor production
Evidence: Relevant information in their publications and documents.
Additional information and guidance
Various devices and equipment in the process will have unique settings for individual tasks and candidates should be comfortable working with these settings as required.
1.2 I can check tools and equipment for safety
Candidates should be able to demonstrate safety protocols
Evidence: From portfolio files and assessor verification.
Additional information and guidance
Production line type equipment is under a lot of use and can fail badly and with serious consequences if not maintained. Candidates should carry out regular and routine inspections of equipment to make sure they are safe to run.
1.3 I can control the flow of raw materials
Candidates should be able to work equipment effectively
Evidence: From portfolio files.
Additional information and guidance
The packaging process will require some form of raw materials as an input and these will need to be in the correct form, type, temperature etc to work properly. Candidates responsible for this section will need to be aware of the correct parameters.
1.4 I can identify unsafe situations and take appropriate action
Candidates will be able to demonstrate good safety awareness
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Additional information and guidance
Candidates should be aware of situations that are potentially unsafe and take the appropriate actions, either by guidelines or common sense.
1.5 I can maintain a clean and tidy environment
Candidates will be able to keep the working area safe and clean
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Additional information and guidance
Many accidents at work occur due to loose cables or equipment lying around. Candidates need to be encouraged to keep their areas safe and tidy and clean up after themselves and others as required.
1.6 I can comply with regulations and guidelines
Candidates will be able to understand the legal constraints
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Additional information and guidance
Most work environments will have specific local guidelines, but also be governed by regulations and laws on health and safety at work. Candidates need to show an awareness of these and apply them to the best of their ability.
The assessor should keep a record of assessment judgements made for each candidate and make notes of any significant issues for any candidate. They must be prepared to enter into dialog with their Account Manager and provide their assessment records to the Account Manager through the on-line mark book. They should be prepared to provide evidence as a basis for their judgements should it be required by the Principal Assessor or their Account Manager/external moderator. Before authorising certification, the Account Manager must be satisfied that the assessors judgements are sound.
