What an assessment for AHCMDC403 must cover

35 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 9 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Determine propagation requirements for medicinal cannabis

1.1Identify and confirm cultivation specifications and requirements with senior personnel
1.2Determine propagation methods and quantity of propagation material based on product and production targets
1.3Determine space requirements for the program, including any parameters that impact on propagation
1.4Determine legal and regulatory considerations

2 Develop propagation plan

2.1Identify labour, materials, tools and equipment needs for crop propagation
2.2Determine propagation media requirements based on the propagation method to be used
2.3Determine identification and quality specifications for propagation material
2.4Determine monitoring and treatment strategies to maintain health of propagation material
2.5Develop schedules for propagation activities, including monitoring of propagation material health, water and nutrients requirements and environmental climate conditions
2.6Identify hazards, assess risks and determine control limits, measures and corrective actions that ensure health and safety, hygiene, quality and security requirements

3 Implement and monitor propagation program

3.1Communicate propagation plan and establish roles and responsibilities to all involved
3.2Communicate and provide training on workplace procedures and schedules, including health and safety, hygiene and security requirements for propagation activities
3.3Monitor hygiene, quality and record-keeping requirements during propagation activities
3.4Confirm propagation activities meet legal and regulatory requirements

4 Evaluate propagation program

4.1Evaluate propagation program for effectiveness
4.2Identify and record variances from plan and scheduled activities
4.3Assess propagated plants for health and quality
4.4Complete reports on propagation activities to meet workplace and compliance requirements, including deviation investigations as required

Performance evidence

documented a plan that incorporates each of the following: propagation methods and required quantities of propagation materials, resource requirements, identification and quality specifications, strategies for monitoring and treating propagation material, schedules for propagation activities, risk assessment and control measures and actions, regulatory requirements
communicated and provided training on propagation activities
monitored and evaluated activities against the plan and results of propagated plants
reported on propagation monitoring activities, including any deviations

Knowledge evidence

principles and practices for developing a propagation program for medicinal cannabis, including determining: propagation material needs to meet production targets, which may include mother plants, seeds or tissue culture; propagation water and nutrient requirements and environmental climate conditions; quality specifications; identification, propagation and establishment techniques; application of non-chemical intervention or treatments; problems performing propagation activities, and preventative action
hygiene standards required for propagation activities
preferred types of propagation media
scheduling for propagation activities
legal and regulatory requirements required of licensed cultivators of medicinal cannabis, including reporting requirements
principles of Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) in relation to the propagation of medicinal cannabis plants, including: propagation methods; traceability; hygiene and sanitation; health and safety; monitoring, sampling and control; documentation processes, including deviation investigations reports
methods and systems that may be used for developing, monitoring and evaluating propagation plans, schedules and workplace procedures
principles of risk assessment, including hazard identification, risk analysis, control limits, control measures and corrective actions and evaluation
effective training methods used to train staff on workplace procedures

Foundation skills

Reading: Interpret a range of textual and numerical information relevant to propagation requirements to determine required actions
Writing: Prepare and logically structure components of the propagation plan
Oral communication: Participate in verbal exchanges to report and present information to a range of personnel
Numeracy: Calculate required quantities of propagation materials to meet production objectives; Calculate required resources for propagation plan for a period of time

Questions about assessing AHCMDC403

What does an assessment tool for AHCMDC403 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AHCMDC403 needs to address all 35 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 AHCMDC403?

Auditori pulls the current release of AHCMDC403 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 AHCMDC403 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AHCMDC403 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 AHCMDC403, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
