What an assessment for ICTTEN208 must cover

39 assessable components: 3 elements (13 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 17 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 Connect, test and verify alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) circuitry

  • 1.1Identify work health and safety (WHS) issues and notify appropriate personnel
  • 1.2Connect a series and a parallel circuit following safe work practices
  • 1.3Choose appropriate test equipment and measure voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (Ω) values for the electricity in these circuits
  • 1.4Use calculations to verify the flow of electrical current in these circuits
  • 1.5Compare measured values to calculated values and determine reasons for any variations
  • 1.6Measure low voltage (LV), extra low voltage (ELV) or telecommunications network voltage (TNV) and determine if values are within equipment or power supply specifications
  • 1.7Use appropriate test equipment to measure AC voltage (multimeter) or AC current (clamp meter) in a safe manner that does not require an LV circuit to be disconnected
  • 1.8Test residual current devices (RCD) or earth leakage devices to ensure they are operational prior to working with AC mains powered equipment, power supplies and tools
  • 1.9Evaluate results and determine probable faults as required

2 Evaluate analog and digital signals

  • 2.1Compare characteristics of an analog signal and a digital signal
  • 2.2Produce a layout using building blocks to represent a typical analog and a typical digital circuit to show different characteristics

3 Perform cable selection

  • 3.1Compare basic transmission characteristics, resistance, impedance and effects of signal frequency of different types of cables and select the most appropriate type to suit application
  • 3.2Connect two devices with a patch cable and test the connection

Performance evidence

  • use fundamental electrical principles to solve basic AC and DC electrical problems
  • connect and test an AC and a DC circuit
  • respond to test results found to be out of expected specifications.

Knowledge evidence

  • legislative requirements and enterprise protocols, policies and procedures relevant to work activity
  • principles of AC and DC electricity and how it impacts telecommunications work including:
  • AC and DC electrical SI units of measurement
  • work health and safety (WHS) issues including extra low voltage and high voltage precautions
  • principles of Ohm’s law and other relevant calculations for single path circuits
  • circuit configuration
  • common AC and DC faults, fault-finding techniques, and procedures for the use and care of testing equipment
  • application of binary to decimal conversion and vice versa
  • principles of analog and digital electronics and building blocks common to analog and digital circuits
  • distinction between analog and digital signals and devices
  • electrical current, electromotive force (EMF), AC and DC electrical current
  • features and applications of cable types such as single sheathed cable, unshielded twisted pair (UTP), coaxial and fibre cables
  • electronic devices, cable types and their applications
  • basic characteristics found in AC waveforms
  • techniques to convert analog to digital and digital to analog
  • characteristics of signal transmission
  • common telecommunications cables and their characteristics of use and application.

Foundation skills

  • Reading: Interprets textual information to inform decision-making process
  • Writing: Uses industry specific language to produce technical documentation
  • Oral Communication: Articulates specific concerns and issues clearly and listens to and acts on responses of others
  • Numeracy: Performs basic calculations to check data, make predictions and make comparisons Selects and uses appropriate tools to take measurements, analyse results and perform calculations
  • Navigate the world of work: Follows legislative requirements and enterprise protocols, policies and procedures relevant to own role
  • Get the work done: Determines job sequence and works logically and systematically to undertake clearly defined tasks Identifies task requirements to decide on appropriate equipment and practices Applies problem-solving processes within scope of own role to locate and resolve faults

Questions about assessing ICTTEN208

What does an assessment tool for ICTTEN208 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTTEN208 needs to address all 39 unit components: 3 elements with 13 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 17 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 ICTTEN208?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTTEN208 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 ICTTEN208 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTTEN208 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 ICTTEN208, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
