What an assessment for ICPSCP374 must cover

53 assessable components: 7 elements (26 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 20 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 Identify job requirements

1.1Substrate is checked against job specifications with any irregularities reported and rectified where possible
1.2Ink is checked against job specifications
1.3Stencil is checked against job specifications

2 Prepare machine to print

2.1Substrate position and stencil registration are adjusted according to job specifications
2.2Ink is applied to screen in quantity required for screen size
2.3Equipment is kept clean and spills are minimised

3 Produce proof print

3.1Proof print is run off and checked for colour, strength, registration, adhesion, clarity, gloss level, drying or curing, artwork detail and other technical aspects according to job specifications
3.2Adjustments are made according to product and machine specifications
3.3Belt speed and energy required are set to achieve desired curing or drying properties
3.4Appropriate approval to commence production is sought prior to commencement

4 Run job and monitor print quality

4.1Printing speed production is adjusted to maximise quality and output
4.2Print quality is continuously evaluated and adjusted as required
4.3Effects of ink alterations during run are monitored and any discrepancy is notified according to enterprise procedures
4.4Workplace documentation is completed as required
4.5Curing and drying are constantly monitored and adjusted according to manufacturer or supplier and job specifications

5 Carry out routine user maintenance

5.1Equipment is cleaned according to enterprise procedures
5.2Fault conditions are identified and reported according to enterprise procedures

6 Stack production output

6.1Output is checked for thorough drying or curing before stacking
6.2Job identification is labelled and recorded
6.3Job status and progress are checked against job specifications and any necessary action is taken

7 Conduct shutdown of production process

7.1Material is transferred to correct destination in safe manner
7.2Excess ink, screens, squeegees and flood coaters are removed and cleaned according to work health and safety (WHS) requirements and manufacturer or supplier specifications
7.3Waste materials and chemicals are disposed of according to manufacturer or supplier specifications, regulatory requirements and enterprise procedures
7.4Equipment and surrounding areas are cleaned according to manufacturer or supplier specifications and enterprise procedures
7.5Tools and equipment are stored and maintained according to manufacturer or supplier to ensure ease of access and operator safety
7.6Correct procedure for dealing with spilt chemicals is demonstrated according to WHS requirements

Performance evidence

complete TWO different jobs on a semi- automatic machine according to relevant job, manufacturer, enterprise and health and safety requirements. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge evidence

outline the process for recording and reporting any substrate irregularities
describe the process for checking ink compatibility and stencil compatibility
discuss limitations when setting the substrate position and the precautions required when applying ink to the screen
describe the products and materials that are used to keep the equipment clean
describe health and safety concerns when producing a semi-automatic print
outline the quality control devices that are used to check the print standards and variables or tolerances to note when checking the print against the proof
describe the relationship between ink film thickness and ink density and acceptable maximum and minimum ink densities
discuss the properties that determine belt speed and heat unit settings for curing
identify the person responsible for final approval before commencing the production run
outline the process for quality inspection during printing and the frequency of inspection
discuss the importance of monitoring ink during the print run
discuss the purpose of workplace documentation
outline health and safety concerns in relationship to monitoring drying or curing systems
describe the maintenance that should be carried out on this machine and the importance of reporting faulty equipment
describe stacking, storing and handling processes and the importance of labelling and recording processes
describe the health and safety practices that must be adhered to when reclaiming screens
describe the importance of keeping equipment and surrounding areas clean, including the cleaning of screens and squeegees
describe the correct procedures for disposing of liquid waste
outline the processes for storing screens to minimise damage
identify required manuals, safety and other documentation and briefly outline the relevant information in each source.

Foundation skills

Reading: Establishes job requirements and correct processes from relevant information
Writing: Records information relating to job outcomes and machinery problems
Oral Communication: Checks the progress and quality of the job with supervisor
Numeracy: Uses simple mathematical calculations to determine drying time and optimum belt speed
Navigate the world of work: Complies with organisational, legal and regulatory requirements related to own work with specific reference to safety
Get the work done: Understands the purposes, specific functions and key features of common digital systems and tools and operates them effectively to complete routine tasks Takes responsibility for planning and organising own workload, identifying ways of sequencing and combining elements for efficiency Automatically implements standard procedures for routine decisions Recognises and takes responsibility for addressing predictable problems in familiar work contexts

Questions about assessing ICPSCP374

What does an assessment tool for ICPSCP374 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPSCP374 needs to address all 53 unit components: 7 elements with 26 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 20 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 ICPSCP374?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICPSCP374 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 ICPSCP374 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICPSCP374 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 ICPSCP374, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
