What an assessment for ICTCBL219 must cover

43 assessable components: 4 elements (26 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 5 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 Build and test direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) circuits and telephone earthing

  • 1.1Identify any hazards and work health and safety (WHS) issues for safe worksite and notify appropriate personnel
  • 1.2Connect series and parallel DC and AC circuit configuration following safe work practices
  • 1.3Choose appropriate test equipment and measure values of electrical quantities of circuits
  • 1.4Use calculations to verify measured values of electrical quantities in series and in parallel circuit configuration
  • 1.5Compare measured values to calculated values and determine reasons for any variations
  • 1.6Evaluate results and determine probable faults if relevant
  • 1.7Measure voltages present on telephone line and compare to exchange battery voltage
  • 1.8Measure resistance to earth, ensuring electrical earth in telecommunications installation

2 Configure a safe ADSL circuit configuration with mode 3 connection

  • 2.1Determine effects of bandwidth, frequency and attenuation on DSL circuits as used for broadband client access
  • 2.2Design and configure ADSL circuit from network boundary through to mode 3 socket for alarm system connected to monitoring station
  • 2.3Configure connection to ensure that ADSL circuit is not disconnected for safety reasons when alarm activation in conjunction with a mode 3 socket disconnects plain old telephone service (POTS) circuit
  • 2.4Use level 3 tester to verify correct termination and installation of digital transmission line

3 Diagnose and rectify faults

  • 3.1Determine urgency and impact of faults and required response timeframe for clearance
  • 3.2Identify type of fault and determine most probable causes of fault from data and historical trends where available
  • 3.3Select tools and test equipment relevant to system and type of fault
  • 3.4Diagnose fault in methodical and safe manner using suitable fault-finding technique
  • 3.5Isolate fault progressively to remove likely variables from diagnostic
  • 3.6Determine options to rectify fault and present to client for decision on rectification
  • 3.7Document test methods and results, and file with other system installation records

4 Alter existing services

  • 4.1Identify existing and proposed cable systems for altering services to existing installation
  • 4.2Plan alterations to cause minimal disruption to ongoing client activity
  • 4.3Use appropriate tools to safely terminate telecommunications cables and outlets
  • 4.4Identify and rectify any cable fault
  • 4.5Carry out alterations in safe manner and according to both mandatory and recommended industry standards
  • 4.6Identify risks posed by contact with remote power feeding services
  • 4.7Test alteration and obtain sign off with client

Performance evidence

  • demonstrate the use of asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) concepts in application and design
  • demonstrate fault-finding techniques to locate cabling faults in telecommunications networks
  • solve calculations for direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electrical problems
  • apply digital transmission principles and testing
  • demonstrate the use of ADSL test equipment
  • comply with all related work health and safety (WHS) requirements and work practices in the alteration of existing client services.

Knowledge evidence

  • discuss WHS issues and practices relating to ADSL circuits and working with electricity
  • describe typical electrical faults, fault-finding techniques and the type and use of testing equipment, including: - multimeter to measure direct current (DC) voltage, current and resistance - continuity tester to check continuity wiring - testing of open circuits and short circuits - ADSL test set
  • identify the appropriate tools used in ADSL cabling
  • describe the types of cable terminations used for a range of telecommunications cable applications
  • outline the following: - ADSL circuitry and configurations - digital transmission concepts, including installation practices and testing - procedures in altering existing services, including sign off - the distinction between analog and digital signals.

Foundation skills

  • Reading: Uses explicit strategies to make connections between information and ideas while reading
  • Writing: Interrelates ideas, information and some support material when writing about familiar topics
  • Oral Communication: Demonstrates awareness of choices for register, especially in situations that are familiar
  • Numeracy: Uses ‘in the head’ and written methods to calculate, and uses calculation and technological processes and tools to undertake the problem solving process
  • Navigate the world of work: Takes personal responsibility for adherence to legal and regulatory responsibilities relevant to own work context, and draws attention to any issues that may affect self or others
  • Get the work done: • Implements actions as per plan, making slight adjustments if necessary, and addressing some unexpected issues • Automatically implements standard procedures for routine decisions in response to familiar problems • Understands when to take responsibility and when to notify others

Questions about assessing ICTCBL219

What does an assessment tool for ICTCBL219 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTCBL219 needs to address all 43 unit components: 4 elements with 26 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 5 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 ICTCBL219?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTCBL219 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 ICTCBL219 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTCBL219 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 ICTCBL219, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
