What an assessment for ICPSCP2330 must cover

48 assessable components: 6 elements (21 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 20 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare work area and equipment

1.1Clean work area according to enterprise procedures
1.2Inspect equipment and undertake remedial action prior to commencement of work as required
1.3Select coating trough and confirm it is free of nicks and burrs

2 Prepare screen

2.1Select screen according to job specifications
2.2Apply and remove according to work health and safety (WHS) requirements and manufacturer specifications
2.3Check tension of screen mesh

3 Produce emulsion

3.1Select emulsion according to requirements for ink type, print resolution, substrate, mesh type and machine type
3.2Check emulsion expiry date and take action as required
3.3Prepare emulsion
3.4Apply and dry emulsion according to manufacturer specifications

4 Process coated screen

4.1Position image films onto prepared screen and position in cleaned and prepared exposure device
4.2Position light source according to manufacturer specifications
4.3Calculate exposure and expose stencil
4.4Remove exposed screen from vacuum frame exposure device
4.5Wash exposed screen according to WHS requirements and manufacturer specifications
4.6Inspect processed stencil or screen for flaws, scum and orientation
4.7Spot out pinholes and tape according to ink type and job specifications

5 Clean stencil

5.1Dry processed stencil according to manufacturer specifications
5.2Remove backing sheet and check stencil for full adhesion

6 Store screen

6.1Label prepared screen according to enterprise procedures
6.2Store prepared screen according to manufacturer specifications

Performance evidence

prepare two different direct screens and two direct emulsion stencils using manual coating and exposure techniques according to manufacturer and job specifications, enterprise procedures and work health and safety (WHS) requirements.

Knowledge evidence

WHS risks and requirements for: working with UV exposure light, handling chemical materials, preparing emulsions, washing out exposed screens
importance of the mesh count
effect of screen tension on emulsion coating
method of determining the emulsion required for the job and emulsion selection requirements
importance of preparing the work area and equipment
effect of the coating trough edge on emulsion coating
reasons for checking the expiry date of emulsions
maximum temperature at which the emulsion can be dried
need to have vacuum pressure in the vacuum frame
selection process for the light source position
formula and process used to calculate optimum exposure time
effects of overexposure and underexposure
effect on exposure of a white or coloured mesh
procedure for washing the screen out as required
characteristics determining a good and bad stencil
reasons for drying the screen before blocking out
factors determining the type of filler used for blocking out
reasons for spotting pinholes and taping the screen
qualities by which stored screens can be identified at a later date
manufacturer manuals, enterprise procedures and work health and safety documentation, including their location and purpose.

Foundation skills

Writing: Completes required details legibly and accurately for reference details
Numeracy: Identifies basic numerical data and calculates whole numbers and decimals for exposure time and measurements
Self-management: Takes personal responsibility for adherence to enterprise procedures relevant to own role
Planning and organising: Follows clearly defined instructions and sequencing and monitors own progress for the task. Takes responsibility for routine low-impact decisions within familiar situations
Problem solving: Responds to predictable problems and implements standard or logical solutions
Technology: Identifies the purpose and some specific functions of some common digital tools used in work contexts

Questions about assessing ICPSCP2330

What does an assessment tool for ICPSCP2330 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPSCP2330 needs to address all 48 unit components: 6 elements with 21 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 20 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICPSCP2330?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICPSCP2330 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICPSCP2330 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICPSCP2330 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICPSCP2330, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
