What an assessment for ICPPRP2670 must cover

41 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 16 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 5 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 Select and prepare plate

1.1Evaluate job specifications to determine required type and size of plate for the job and required software
1.2Identify manufacturer specifications for required plate
1.3Select plate according to quality requirements of output
1.4Prepare plate to accommodate printing machine plate positioning requirements
1.5Assemble required data and equipment for processing

2 Expose plate

2.1Clean work area
2.2Select exposure unit according to output requirements
2.3Establish exposure control as required
2.4Monitor and adjust exposure and vacuum frame according to manufacturer specifications

3 Process plate

3.1Monitor and adjust plate processing unit according to enterprise requirements and work health and safety (WHS) procedures
3.2Select and review program options for processing according to quality requirements
3.3Process plate

4 Post-treat plate

4.1Check plate for quality of outcome and analyse for conformance to job specifications
4.2Implement changes to plate image and confirm standard of output required
4.3Chemically treat and bake plate as required
4.4Prepare plate for storage prior to printing according to manufacturer specifications

Performance evidence

prepare, set up and use lithographic plate exposure and plate processing equipment and software to produce one lithographic plate manually and one with machinery.
modify the plate image to deliver the required standard of output
identify the substrate for reproduction
ensure plate quality meet requirements for the identified printing processes.

Knowledge evidence

types of lithographic plates and the criteria for their selection
advantages and disadvantages of negative and positive plates
computer-to-plate (CTP) printing and its industry-standard equipment software
plate exposure techniques and control, including: the squared and centred position of images, importance of colour bars and control strips, light sources used in plate exposing frames
plate processing
work health and safety (WHS) requirements when processing printing plates
baths and solutions used in a plate processing machine
impacts of changes in processor time on the final plate
plate finishing and correction procedures
purpose of gumming a plate
post-exposure techniques
criteria used to evaluate plate accuracy
procedures to address dot gain issues
difference between physical and optical dot gain
plate punching and registration and procedures required to maintain accuracy
manufacturer manuals, enterprise procedures and work health and safety and enterprise documentation, including their location and purpose.

Foundation skills

Reading: Identifies and evaluates text to establish job requirements
Self-management: Identifies and follows enterprise procedures associated with own role
Planning and Organising: Determines priorities and sequences steps involved in clearly defined, familiar tasks and identifies and assembles required resources
Technology: Identifies purposes, specific functions and key features of common lithographic print equipment and tools and operates them to produce plates to requirements
Problem Solving: Applies analytical processes to resolve technical problems. Initiates standard procedures when responding to familiar problems within immediate context

Questions about assessing ICPPRP2670

What does an assessment tool for ICPPRP2670 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPPRP2670 needs to address all 41 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 16 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 ICPPRP2670?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICPPRP2670 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 ICPPRP2670 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICPPRP2670 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 ICPPRP2670, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
