What an assessment for ICTCBL303 must cover
43 assessable components: 4 elements (21 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 9 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 Prepare to install and terminate coaxial cable
- 1.1Prepare for given work according to relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards

- 1.4Select coaxial cable type, connectors and manufacturer’s tool to comply with installation environment and client requirements
- 1.5Check proposed route and bend radius to meet manufacturer’s specifications and industry standards
- 1.6Test cable on drum for continuity and inspect visually for crushing and kinks
- 1.7Discuss with client proposed method of installation and cable route, and adjust if necessary
2 Install, terminate and test coaxial cable
- 2.1Maintain cable segregation to industry standards
- 2.2Protect integrity of coaxial shield cable to ensure no loss of signal during operation and maintain bend ratios to not exceed manufacturer’s specifications and industry standard
- 2.3Install cable securing hardware to ensure cable is not crushed or kinked while maintaining cable manufacturer’s bend radius
- 2.4Install cable following work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements, and complying with manufacturer’s specifications and industry standards
- 2.5Terminate cable and perform type of termination specified in plan using safe work practices and according to manufacturer’s specifications
- 2.6Test termination for transmission loss and signal levels, and re-terminate the coaxial cable if the transmission loss exceeds the manufacturer’s specifications
- 2.7Record all measurements
- 2.8Fit over-voltage protection devices to all cables with metallic component where required
3 Remove termination waste from work area
- 3.1Clean work area thoroughly to minimise risk of injury from loose metal strands
- 3.2Dispose of waste safely according to relevant environmental requirements
- 3.3Restore worksite to client’s satisfaction
4 Document installation
- 4.1Update plans and records with details of installation and test results
- 4.2Show client completed work and ensure work matches agreed method of installation and cable route
- 4.3Notify client of work completion and obtain sign off

Questions about assessing ICTCBL303
What does an assessment tool for ICTCBL303 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTCBL303 needs to address all 43 unit components: 4 elements with 21 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 ICTCBL303?
Auditori pulls the current release of ICTCBL303 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 ICTCBL303 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing ICTCBL303 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 ICTCBL303, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
