What an assessment for ACMFAR305 must cover
32 assessable components: 4 elements (15 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 6 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 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.

- 2.2Clean and prepare materials using tools and techniques appropriate for task
- 2.3Identify, fit and use personal protective equipment according to health and safety in the workplace procedures
3 Prepare and manage fire for welding
- 3.1Select fuel and prepare tools to manage the fuel source
- 3.2Set up forge according to workplace procedures
- 3.3Manage the fire to maintain its effectiveness as a forge
- 3.4Identify the correct forge heat for particular operations
- 3.5Assess and control risks relating to preparing and managing fire for welding according to health and safety in the workplace procedures
4 Carry out farriery welding tasks using a forge fire
- 4.1Apply and control heat to the material to be forged
- 4.2Carry out farriery welding tasks using welds and tools appropriate for task
- 4.3Extinguish the forge fire safely and complete clean-up procedures
- 4.4Dispose of waste material safely according to workplace procedures
Performance evidence
- An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit.
- There must be evidence that the individual has performed four distinct farriery welding tasks using both steel and aluminium, using a gas forge and/or a solid fuel/coke forge.
- For each task the individual must have:
- - identified requirements and specifications, and prepared materials for welding
- - selected and correctly fitted personal protective equipment (PPE)
- - prepared and managed fire for welding
- - completed tasks according to specifications and within designated timeframe.
Knowledge evidence
- An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:
- - types of forges and fuel, including: solid fuel - coke, coal or charcoal; LPG gas
- - equipment used in welding tasks for farriery activities, including: anvil and stand; welding flux; hand tools for fire welding
- - principles and practices for welding using a forge, including: materials to be welded and how they react to heat; process of welding by forge-produced heat including different heat levels; tools appropriate for different types of forges
- - types of welding tasks, including: bending; drawing down; forge brazing; forge welding - straight scarf and diagonal scarf welds; punching and drifting; upsetting or jumping up
- - safe work practices, including: manual handling; types of PPE; use of fire and dangers to operators; use of bottled gas; dry and ventilated location; emergency procedures; safe disposal of waste materials; workplace health and safety requirements relating to use of forges.
Foundation skills
- Reading: Interpret symbols and diagrams in welding instructions
- Numeracy: Estimate time to complete activities; Monitor temperature gauges
- Navigate the world of work: Take responsibility for adherence to work health and safety requirements relating to welding activity and work area
- Get the work done: Plan, sequence and prioritise tasks and assemble equipment to carry out welding tasks, judging correct welding heat to perform process on selected material; Monitor safety and risk factors during welding operations

Questions about assessing ACMFAR305
What does an assessment tool for ACMFAR305 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ACMFAR305 needs to address all 32 unit components: 4 elements with 15 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 ACMFAR305?
Auditori pulls the current release of ACMFAR305 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 ACMFAR305 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing ACMFAR305 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 ACMFAR305, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
