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 identify different packaging materials
The candidate should be able to identify the materials they work with
Evidence: Relevant information in their publications and documents.
Additional information and guidance
This will vary slightly depending on what industry the candidates are working in, but there will be a consistent number of similar materials for packaging such as cardboard, plastics etc that candidates can identify.
1.2 I can identify packaging materials that could be recycled
Candidates should be able to demonstrate awareness of packaging materials composition
Evidence: From portfolio files and assessor verification.
Additional information and guidance
Some may be obvious by having a recycling icon on, but many materials may be composite and only knowledge of their parts will identify if they are recyclable or not.
1.3 I can recognise different facilities for packaging material
Candidates should be able to demonstrate their general knowledge of their chosen industry
Evidence: From portfolio files.
Additional information and guidance
Candidates are likely to move around within their chosen career field, so should educate themselves as to the variety and range of places that offer the services.
1.4 I can process plastic and rubber
Candidates will be able to demonstrate competence with specific packaging materials
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Additional information and guidance
Candidates should be able to work with a variety of materials in different ways.
1.5 I can process paper and cardboard
Candidates will be able to demonstrate competence with specific packaging materials
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Additional information and guidance
Candidates should be able to work with a variety of materials in different ways.
1.6 I can select suitable materials and packaging for transport
Candidates will be able to understand the needs of transport
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Additional information and guidance
Depending on the means of transport, the packaging needs to be prepared in order to be safe during that process and arrive in a state that it left in.
Moderation/verification
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.
