What an assessment for AHCPMG306 must cover

42 assessable components: 3 elements (17 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 12 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 Assess targeted pest

1.1Identify the biology and characteristics of the target pest
1.2Observe and confirm the location and extent of the pest problem
1.3Observe and confirm target pest behaviour and movement patterns
1.4Assess the impact of the pest on assets

2 Assess pest control techniques

2.1Identify purpose of control program and determine desired outcomes
2.2Discuss suitable pest control strategy with supervisor according to planned outcomes
2.3Identify biosecurity risks associated with control methods
2.4Determine legislative, economic or social constraints on pest control techniques
2.5Identify non-target species and constraints that they may impose
2.6Assess the impact that urban areas will have on the planning of pest control techniques

3 Plan the pest control

3.1Source information on techniques applicable to the type of pest
3.2Identify permits, licenses or clearances required to carry out pest control activities
3.3Assess the relative humaneness of pest control techniques, where target pests include animals
3.4Determine control measures to address identified constraints
3.5Identify safety hazards associated with control measures and apply relevant health and safety in the workplace policies and procedures to manage risks
3.6Discuss and confirm the most appropriate technique for the situation with the stakeholder, and the desired outcome
3.7Determine monitoring techniques according to workplace practices

Performance evidence

assessed the impact of pests on assets
identified the target pest and its characteristics
determined the desired outcomes, constraints and measures for pest control techniques
planned and discussed appropriate humane pest control techniques with supervisor and stakeholder
used a variety of monitoring techniques to determine pest numbers
identified non-target species and biosecurity risks affected during a control program
identified pest control permissions and licences required for pest control techniques
determined the legal, economic and social constraints affecting pest control techniques
included health and safety in the workplace policies and procedures when planning pest control techniques

Knowledge evidence

pest lifecycles and behaviours, including modes of dispersal, biology and reproduction
features of target and non-target species
habitats of target and non-target pest animals
impacts pest control activities can have on native species
licenses, permits and clearances that may need to be obtained
the impact pest control can have on nearby urban areas and off target species
pest control techniques appropriate for different contexts
key conditions for the survival of pests and methods for eliminating or controlling those conditions
basic requirements for ensuring the welfare of animals described in the relevant Codes of Practice, where target pests are vertebrate animals
pests and their impact on assets, including the environment and their acceptable population densities
types of constraints that apply to pest control techniques
legislation applicable to pest control including declared species

Foundation skills

Reading: Analyse and consolidate technical information and data against defined criteria to determine planned outcomes
Oral Communication: Effectively participate in verbal exchanges including active listening and questioning and reading of verbal and non-verbal signals to convey and clarify information
Navigate the world of work: Take responsibility for following explicit and implicit policies, procedures and for licencing and permit requirements
Get the work done: Take responsibility for planning, sequencing and prioritising tasks and workload for efficiency and effective outcomes Make routine decisions and implements procedures for routine tasks, using formal decision-making processes for more complex situations

Questions about assessing AHCPMG306

What does an assessment tool for AHCPMG306 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AHCPMG306 needs to address all 42 unit components: 3 elements with 17 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 AHCPMG306?

Auditori pulls the current release of AHCPMG306 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 AHCPMG306 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AHCPMG306 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 AHCPMG306, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
