What an assessment for ICPSCP3510 must cover

44 assessable components: 5 elements (19 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 18 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 Inspect screen

  • 1.1Identify screen frames and determine colour sequence
  • 1.2Examine screen frame for defects and undertake action as required
  • 1.3Tape each screen as required
  • 1.4Inspect screens against film positives, variations in centring, registration and alignment, and undertake action as required
  • 1.5Handle screen frame, mesh and stencil according to manufacturer specifications

2 Maintain and adjust machine

  • 2.1Inspect machine and carry out user maintenance according to manufacturer specifications and enterprise procedures
  • 2.2Make required periodic adjustments according to manufacturer specifications

3 Install screen frames and dry run machine

  • 3.1Position laysheet in grippers and side-lay according to manufacturer specifications
  • 3.2Image position is established on laysheet
  • 3.3Position screen frame in screen frame holder
  • 3.4Confirm registration, alignment and centring and tighten screen clamps
  • 3.5Run machine through printing, and confirm that substrate registers in lays

4 Prepare and position flood bar and squeegees

  • 4.1Assemble flood bar and squeegee and confirm that flood bar is free of nicks and burrs
  • 4.2Sharpen squeegee blade according to manufacturer specifications and ink system requirements
  • 4.3Position flood bar and squeegee according to job specifications with squeegee at required pre-determined angle
  • 4.4Adjust on and off contact according to ink system and printing speed
  • 4.5Adjust squeegee and bring into contact with substrate

5 Set up drying or curing unit

  • 5.1Set up belt speed and energy according to job requirements and adjust printing speeds
  • 5.2Stack stock as required at end of dryer

Performance evidence

  • prepare a machine for printing two different jobs by installing the screen frame and squeegee or flood coater and setting up a drying or curing unit to achieve the desired properties, according to manufacturer specifications, enterprise procedures and work health and safety (WHS) requirements.

Knowledge evidence

  • WHS requirements for: drying or curing units, handling blades, handling screen frame, mesh and stencil
  • colour sequence of screens and signs of defects when examining screen and stencil
  • variation between the positive and stencil
  • maintenance required on the equipment, including periodic adjustments of the drying or curing units
  • different machine capabilities and characteristics
  • function of the printing base
  • lay sheet position on the printing base and the image position on the lay sheet
  • type of lay sheet being used
  • frame position in the frame holder, and registering and alignment of the stencil with the image on the lay sheet
  • checks required to maintain register
  • required characteristics of a squeegee blade or flood coater
  • purpose of shore hardness of squeegee material and the length of squeegee or flood coater
  • positioning, fixing and adjustment of the squeegee or flood coater and the relationship of the squeegee to the flood coater
  • adjustment of on and off contact distance and peel-off requirements of the screen frame
  • relationship of the machine stroke to off contact or peel-off requirements
  • effects of temperature on the substrate
  • factors determining belt speed and energy requirements
  • manufacturer manuals, enterprise procedures and work health and safety documentation, including their location and purpose.

Foundation skills

  • Reading: Establishes job requirements from relevant information
  • Numeracy: Uses simple mathematical calculations to determine and adjust resources and equipment
  • Self-management: Complies with enterprise procedures Considers own role in terms of its contribution to broader goals of the work environment
  • Planning and organising: Takes responsibility for planning and organising own workload, identifying ways of sequencing and combining elements for efficiency Automatically implements standard procedures for routine decisions
  • Problem solving: Identifies and takes responsibility for addressing predictable problems in familiar work contexts
  • Technology: Identifies the purposes, specific functions and key features of common digital systems and tools, and operates them effectively to complete routine tasks, adapting some functions to improve personal efficiency

Questions about assessing ICPSCP3510

What does an assessment tool for ICPSCP3510 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPSCP3510 needs to address all 44 unit components: 5 elements with 19 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 ICPSCP3510?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICPSCP3510 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 ICPSCP3510 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICPSCP3510 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 ICPSCP3510, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
