What an assessment for ACMGEN307 must cover

29 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 7 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 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.

collected and tested at least two water samples and adjusted water quality to suit the aquariums or aquascape and species requirements
administered appropriate and authorised aquatic animal treatments on at least one occasion
maintained records and required documentation for treatments and medicine programs for each aquarium or aquascape.

Knowledge evidence

types of aquatic animals, including: • fish • aquatic invertebrates (including crustaceans and corals) • amphibians • turtles
principles and practices of aquariums and/or aquascapes and aquatic animal maintenance
basic aquatic animal biology
aquatic animal health, including: • signs of normal and abnormal behaviour of relevant aquatic species reflecting health conditions • signs of common aquatic animal diseases and parasitic infestations and their transmission between aquatic animals • broad categories of parasitic infestations and viral, fungal and bacterial diseases • preventative medicine programs for internal and external parasites • appropriate and authorised aquatic animal treatments
types of and transmission of zoonotic diseases
water quality, including: • basic water chemistry • ideal water conditions and quality for a range of aquatic animals, including pH, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, salinity, calcium and/or hardness • water sampling, testing and analysis procedures and techniques • water quality adjustment procedures • chemicals used to correct water conditions and the water quality of aquariums or aquascapes
key features of Commonwealth and relevant state/territory legislation, licensing and codes of practice related to aquatic animal species, biosecurity, health and safety, and animal welfare.

Foundation skills

Reading: • Interpret biological information from valid documents about aquatic animal disease and behaviour • Interpret accurately product information and instructions on animal products and animal care equipment

Questions about assessing ACMGEN307

What does an assessment tool for ACMGEN307 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ACMGEN307 needs to address all 29 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 ACMGEN307?

Auditori pulls the current release of ACMGEN307 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 ACMGEN307 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ACMGEN307 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 ACMGEN307, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
