What an assessment for ICPPTD304 must cover

36 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 7 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 Apply operational maintenance techniques

1.1Interpret and undertake operational maintenance according to manufacturer specifications
1.2Identify and address potential risks, hazards and environmental issues and implement control measures
1.3Select and wear personal protective equipment (PPE) for work activities in accordance with work health and safety (WHS) procedures
1.4Identify and obtain equipment required for maintenance according to organisational policies and procedures
1.5Carry out routine maintenance activities according to manufacturer specifications
1.6Create and maintain a record of maintenance undertaken
1.7Identify and document recommended spare parts required according to manufacturer specifications

2 Identify and document faults and current conditions

2.1Identify and record hardware, software, user or procedural faults as they occur
2.2Assess findings and define faults to be investigated
2.3Develop a register for the purposes of documenting current conditions of hardware, software or operating procedures

3 Research and consider solutions to faults

3.1Conduct research to identify and document potential solutions to faults according to organisational policies and procedures and manufacturer specifications
3.2Develop and evaluate potential solutions to determine approach to rectification in accordance with organisation’s policies and procedures
3.3Present recommended solution to designated persons for confirmation or escalation as required

4 Implement solution

4.1Plan and prepare for implementation of solution
4.2Gather equipment and resources required for the implementation of selected solution
4.3Apply agreed techniques to respond to identified issue
4.4Test hardware, software and procedures to determine whether solution was successful in resolving identified fault
4.5Evaluate implemented solution for efficiency and record findings

Performance evidence

undertake routine maintenance on a 3D printer according to manufacturer specifications a minimum of 2 times
determine the cause of a routine malfunction a minimum of 2 times
produce documentation that records faults and recommends solutions to problems
prepare, operate and shut down a 3D printer according to manufacturer and organisational requirements.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge evidence

current hardware, software and procedures
current industry maintenance and service practices, processes and procedures
current operating systems
solutions to common faults in hardware and software
features of common 3D printers including: basic operation, common applications, hazards associated with use, construction technology
work health and safety (WHS) considerations for consumables used in current 3D printers
workplace procedures and WHS requirements for working with technologies currently used for 3D printing.

Foundation skills

Reading: Interprets familiar textual information from a range of sources to identify faults, compare technical specifications, and identify solutions to new and emerging issues
Writing: Develops materials and resources using simple vocabulary to record information in a sequential manner for client engagement as well as internal reference
Oral Communication: Presents complex information using clear and persuasive language, and appropriate tone and pace for the audience and purpose Participates in verbal exchanges using active listening and questioning to convey and clarify printing information
Navigate the world of work: Understands roles and responsibilities for tasks and makes decisions on work required Complies with organisational and manufacturer procedures and specifications
Interact with others: Understands what to communicate, with whom and how, in work situations
Get the work done: Accepts responsibility for planning and implementing routine and complex tasks Uses problem solving techniques to evaluate faults as they occur Initiates standard diagnostic and maintenance procedures when responding to familiar and unfamiliar problems

Questions about assessing ICPPTD304

What does an assessment tool for ICPPTD304 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPPTD304 needs to address all 36 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 ICPPTD304?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICPPTD304 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 ICPPTD304 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICPPTD304 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 ICPPTD304, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
