What an assessment for ICTTEN617 must cover

39 assessable components: 5 elements (20 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 5 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 8 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 Analyse signalling and digital path alarms and clear network faults

  • 1.1Obtain work details and scope from relevant personnel and arrange for site access in compliance with required security arrangements, legislation, codes, regulations and standards
  • 1.2Activate alarm management system, produce a trouble report and verify common channel signalling (CCS) and data faults
  • 1.3Investigate cause of alarm, analyse results, determine required repair action and allocate resources according to organisational requirements
  • 1.4Monitor repair and restoration procedures and confirm commitment to specified timelines
  • 1.5Initiate escalation procedures according to enterprise procedures
  • 1.6Reset alarms on completion of repair and monitor subsequent alarms to confirm no re-occurrence of the problem

2 Monitor integrity of data received on equipment ports

  • 2.1Activate alarm screens and monitor port times on a regular basis to confirm procedures are running
  • 2.2Clear port blockage and problems on completion of planned works and log in required database
  • 2.3Monitor repair and restoration procedures to confirm commitment to specified timelines and initiate escalation procedures as required and according to enterprise procedures

3 Monitor and acceptance test repair

  • 3.1Verify network stabilisation throughout repair and monitor repair action and confirm minimal impact on the network
  • 3.2Conduct acceptance testing according to prescribed operating procedures
  • 3.3Monitor network stability on completion and refer problems to required area for action
  • 3.4Block alarms for out-of-service circuits

4 Coordinate CCS relationships

  • 4.1Log requests for relationship change and follow up problems with required support staff
  • 4.2Monitor network stability and manage loading of data until the process is completed
  • 4.3Update models and enterprise systems

5 Coordinate CCS rearrangements

  • 5.1Log requests for rearrangement scenarios and verify feasibility of the rearrangement
  • 5.2Enter details of rearrangement in required system and update system records
  • 5.3Monitor completed work for accuracy and network stability on completion
  • 5.4Produce a copy of documentation for future reference

Performance evidence

  • manage at least two common channel signalling networks.
  • identify and implement repair actions within service assurance guidelines
  • analyse and interpret alarms including common channel signalling (CCS) and digital path
  • apply enterprise fault management priorities and escalation procedures
  • resolve problems in a methodical and logical manner
  • conduct required tests and interpret results.

Knowledge evidence

  • required legislation, codes, company work practices, regulations and standards, workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements for scoped work
  • functions and features of: alarm management systems, trouble reports, data faults, network repair and restoration procedures, acceptance tests, CCS data and signalling pathways, system monitoring alerts and alarm set-ups
  • principles of the following aspects of CCS: architecture, protocols, signalling, testing, repair and restoration procedures
  • switching network equipment operation
  • workplace documentation.

Foundation skills

  • Numeracy: Extracts and evaluates mathematical data embedded in a range of technical information
  • Reading: Organises, evaluates and interprets information from equipment and system manuals, specifications and relevant enterprise documentation
  • Writing: Prepares workplace documentation, including reports and recommendations, incorporating technical language to communicate complex information clearly and effectively
  • Teamwork: Selects and uses relevant conventions and protocols when communicating with personnel in a range of work contexts
  • Planning and organising: Sequences and schedules complex activities, monitors implementation and manages required communication
  • Problem solving: Uses analytical processes to decide on a course of action, establishing criteria for deciding between options and seeking input and advice from others, if necessary. Uses formal processes to monitor implementation of solutions and reflect on outcomes
  • Self-management: Considers and adheres to organisational procedures and protocols and legal and regulatory responsibilities when planning and undertaking work
  • Technology: Uses digital systems and tools to enter, store and analyse data

Questions about assessing ICTTEN617

What does an assessment tool for ICTTEN617 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTTEN617 needs to address all 39 unit components: 5 elements with 20 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 ICTTEN617?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTTEN617 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 ICTTEN617 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTTEN617 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 ICTTEN617, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
