What an assessment for ICPPRP2680 must cover

38 assessable components: 5 elements (18 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 12 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 Prepare to produce plate

1.1Identify job specifications and enterprise procedures
1.2Identify and select plate and software options according to printing requirements
1.3Confirm layer negatives
1.4Plan extra exposure masking by examining layer and cut exposure masks according to printing requirements
1.5Calculate amount of plate material required for economical use according to job specifications

2 Expose plate

2.1Identify manufacturer specifications for required equipment
2.2Use digital equipment to establish required front and back exposure time
2.3Expose plate
2.4Monitor and adjust exposure unit and vacuum frame according to manufacturer specifications

3 Develop plate

3.1Monitor and adjust chemistry balance according to manufacturer specifications
3.2Monitor and adjust washout unit according to manufacturer specifications
3.3Wash plate out to pre-determined depth pre-set by front and back exposures

4 Finish plate

4.1Dry plate in a drying oven according to manufacturer specifications for temperature and timing
4.2Clean back of the plate
4.3Post-expose plate
4.4Light finish plate

5 Establish and maintain a chemical register

5.1Establish chemical register to identify and describe purpose of each chemical and confirm finished plate meet job specifications
5.2Identify and register all chemicals used in the workplace according to enterprise and workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements

Performance evidence

produce two flexographic plates with different characteristics.
identify the substrate for reproduction and ensure plate quality is fit for the identified printing processes.

Knowledge evidence

the effect flexographic ink has on selection of plate material
quality control devices used in the exposure and development process
computer-to-plate (CTP) processes and their differences with traditional film-to-plate
industry-standard software and hardware for producing plates from digital inputs
the effect of ‘shoulder’ on the printing process
methods of overcoming ‘orange peel effect’
effects of chemicals used in detaching
methods to counteract image elongation
properties of poor plate processing and how to avoid it
the criteria for plate proof evaluation
the work health and safety (WHS) requirements for working with photopolymer plates and chemicals
manuals, and work health and safety documentation, including their location and purpose.

Foundation skills

Reading: Identifies and evaluates text to establish job requirements
Numeracy: Identifies a range of everyday mathematical information used in familiar and routine tasks
Self-management: Complies with and follows organisational procedures within scope of own role
Planning and Organising: Determines priorities and sequences steps involved in clearly defined, familiar tasks and identifies and assembles resources required. Takes responsibility for planning and organising own workload, identifying ways of sequencing and combining elements for greater efficiency
Problem Solving: Applies analytical processes to resolve technical problems and initiates standard procedures when responding to familiar problems within immediate context
Technology: Identifies purposes, specific functions and key features of flexographic photopolymer plate equipment and tools and operates them to produce plates to requirements

Questions about assessing ICPPRP2680

What does an assessment tool for ICPPRP2680 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPPRP2680 needs to address all 38 unit components: 5 elements with 18 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 ICPPRP2680?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICPPRP2680 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 ICPPRP2680 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICPPRP2680 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 ICPPRP2680, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
