What an assessment for ICPCBF3710 must cover

51 assessable components: 9 elements (29 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 19 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 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.

Performance evidence

produce two jobs using different sizes, styles and substrates, according to manufacturer and job specifications and enterprise procedures and each incorporating at least one of the following techniques: marbling, gilding, staining, sprinkling or spraying, burnishing, creating paste paper.

Knowledge evidence

work health and safety (WHS) risks and requirements for the different methods of paper decoration
the size, mordant and glair used for a particular process and its required strength
different methods of application and their uses
the required surface preparation timing before treatment
the different gums used in the bath, and the bath’s required consistency
common causes of blank spots on the substrate and the purpose of keeping the substrate free of dust
methods for: controlling the spread of colour, picking up gold leaf for edge gilding, minimising colour absorption in absorbent stocks, preventing colour appearance on an adjacent edge, ensuring an even coating, ensuring colour fastness
techniques used for: gilding in the round, obtaining an even impression, determining required consistency for paste, produce different patterns or effects
effect of temperature on the marbling process
the reasons for gold not sticking
the repair of a break in a gilt edge
the difference of antique gilding from a solid gilt edge
the use of red bole or black lead with the gold
the impact of inappropriate pressure on a job
steps taken to ensure an even finish
the procedure for determining required consistency of graphite/paste mixture
the most common fault with burnished edges
steps to ensure a smooth result
manufacturer manuals, enterprise procedures and work health and safety documentation, including their location and purpose.

Questions about assessing ICPCBF3710

What does an assessment tool for ICPCBF3710 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPCBF3710 needs to address all 51 unit components: 9 elements with 29 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 19 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 ICPCBF3710?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICPCBF3710 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 ICPCBF3710 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICPCBF3710 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 ICPCBF3710, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
