What an assessment for ICTBWN302 must cover

46 assessable components: 5 elements (25 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 7 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 7 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 Set up and prepare for installation

  • 1.1Obtain relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards for compliance when conducting work
  • 1.2Scope work by obtaining project plan from appropriate personnel and arrange for site access to comply with security arrangements
  • 1.3Notify appropriate personnel of identified safety hazards at worksite
  • 1.4Determine type of FDH enclosure and optical splitter module from project plan, and identify splitter installation requirements using work instructions
  • 1.5Obtain tools and safety equipment and material to perform tasks safely and efficiently
  • 1.6Select and use required protective equipment and make site safe and secure for installation work
  • 1.7Obtain splitter module, visually inspect for splitter module damage and replace if necessary

2 Install splitter module in FDH

  • 2.1Follow work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements, and identify and avoid other services
  • 2.2Open enclosure and assess suitability of FDH according to project plan
  • 2.3Locate next available slot in splitter module area of FDH for installation
  • 2.4Insert splitter module and secure according to manufacturer’s specifications
  • 2.5Inspect installed splitter module and surrounding area for completeness of job

3 Prepare and connect splitter input fibres to feeder cable

  • 3.1Locate feeder port to be connected and remove protective cover in preparation
  • 3.2Use optical power meter to verify feeder port is not active
  • 3.3Clean adaptor and mated connector according to manufacturer’s specifications, and route splitter input fibre to correct feeder port
  • 3.4Remove dust cap and clean end face according to manufacturer’s specifications to prevent possible damage from mating contaminated connectors
  • 3.5Connect input fibre to feeder port and record connection according to organisational policy

4 Connect output fibres and test splitter

  • 4.1Determine output fibre to be connected and required adapter in distribution field
  • 4.2Clean adapter and fibre end-face according to manufacturer’s specifications
  • 4.3Route output fibre and connect with adapter in distribution field
  • 4.4Test operation of optical splitter for optical power levels at operating wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical wavelengths
  • 4.5Record connections, test results and park unused fibre leads for safety reasons according to organisational policy

5 Clean up work site

  • 5.1Replace all dust caps on internal enclosures and close FDH
  • 5.2Remove installation waste and debris from worksite and dispose of according to environmental requirements
  • 5.3Notify appropriate personnel of job completion and obtain sign off

Performance evidence

  • comply with all work health and safety (WHS) regulations, standards and work practices
  • safely use optical power test equipment
  • accurately measure optical signals at two wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) wavelengths
  • correctly install splitter in the enclosure
  • connect input and out optical fibres to the splitter
  • test optical splitter
  • complete connection recording.

Knowledge evidence

  • identify the location and summarise the contents of relevant organisational policies and procedures
  • discuss WHS risks and control measures when working with optical fibre and equipment
  • explain propagation of light in optical communication systems
  • outline the role of transmitters and receivers in optical communication systems
  • identify and describe the critical aspects of cleaning of connectors
  • summarise specific WHS requirements relating to the handling of optical fibre and the use of laser light sources
  • explain WDM applications.

Foundation skills

  • Reading: Reads and interprets specifications and other documentation from a variety of sources and consolidates information to determine requirements
  • Writing: Accurately completes relevant reports and documentation using clear and technically specific language and numerical data
  • Oral Communication: Participates in verbal exchanges with key personnel using appropriate, clear and detailed language to exchange information, ideas or solutions Uses listening and questioning skills to confirm understanding of requirements
  • Numeracy: Performs mathematical calculations to check, interpret and confirm results of system tests
  • Navigate the world of work: Complies with explicit policies and procedures Explores and implements where identified the implicit expectations of policies and procedures
  • Interact with others: Identifies and takes steps to follow accepted communication practices and protocols Complies with work instructions and contributes to work group discussions using accepted conventions
  • Get the work done: Plans and implements routine tasks and workload, making limited decisions on sequencing, timing and collaboration, and seeks assistance in setting priorities Responds to predictable routine problems and implements standard or logical solutions Uses the main features and functions of digital tools to complete work tasks and access information

Questions about assessing ICTBWN302

What does an assessment tool for ICTBWN302 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTBWN302 needs to address all 46 unit components: 5 elements with 25 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 ICTBWN302?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTBWN302 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 ICTBWN302 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTBWN302 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 ICTBWN302, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
