What an assessment for ICTTEN817 must cover
58 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 26 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.

- 1.8Determine resources and equipment needed for work according to enterprise procedures and organisational requirements
- 1.9Assess capacity limitation of various platforms in context of the work and optimise maximum network performance
- 1.10Determine product capability and calculate allowable capacity of transmission network to allow for network growth
2 Produce link budget for transmission networks
- 2.1Analyse transmission system using equipment and vendor’s specifications to produce a link budget and assess resulting margin
- 2.2Document results of link budget analysis
3 Produce deployment plan for transmission networks
- 3.1Conduct planning work using required equipment components in compliance with transmission network deployment rules and exemption process criteria
- 3.2Produce preliminary plan on network deployment that maintains transmission network integrity
- 3.3Establish a solution to unexpected situations with consideration to job specifications, safety and enterprise procedures
- 3.4Review plan and confirm that it complies with required standards and codes when working on network access, and make required adjustments
4 Complete plan of transmission networks
- 4.1Produce final deployment plan and recommendations agreed with the customer
- 4.2Provide report on network management and performance monitoring system to be incorporated in the transmission network

Foundation skills
- Numeracy: Interprets numerical information to determine business costs and conduct link budget calculations, interpret results and evaluate different types of technical data
- Oral communication: Uses highly developed listening, observational and questioning skills to understand project scope and clarify and explore meaning
- Reading: Organises, evaluates and interprets complex technical and non-technical information including legislative, enterprise and policy documentation
- Writing: Prepares workplace documentation, including reports and recommendations, incorporating technical language to communicate complex information clearly and effectively
- Teamwork: Selects and uses required conventions and protocols when communicating with stakeholders in various work contexts Collaborates with others to achieve joint outcomes, taking the lead in identifying all issues and facilitating agreement
- Planning and organising: Uses a combination of formal, logical planning processes and an understanding of context for complex, high-impact activities with strategic implications Demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of principles, concepts, language and practices associated with the digital world and uses these to understand uses and potential of technology Implements actions according to a predetermined plan, making adjustments if necessary Takes responsibility for high-impact decisions in complex situations involving many variables and constraints Uses formal analytical and lateral thinking techniques for identifying issues, generating and evaluating possible solutions
- Self-management: Monitors adherence to organisational policies and protocols and legal and regulatory requirements of self and others

Questions about assessing ICTTEN817
What does an assessment tool for ICTTEN817 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTTEN817 needs to address all 58 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 26 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 ICTTEN817?
Auditori pulls the current release of ICTTEN817 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 ICTTEN817 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing ICTTEN817 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 ICTTEN817, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
