What an assessment for AHCSAW402 must cover

42 assessable components: 3 elements (15 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 18 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Interpret plans and specifications

  • 1.1Determine overall objective of construction work from plans and in consultation with landholder and surveyor
  • 1.2Establish earthworks specifications required to achieve desired objectives
  • 1.3Inspect site for prevailing conditions and identify inconsistency with plan
  • 1.4Consult surveyor to rectify inconsistencies
  • 1.5Verify plan according to workplace procedures
  • 1.6Identify hazards, assess risks and implement controls according to workplace health and safety procedures

2 Relate plan to site

  • 2.1Harmonise key data points on plan with matching features on site
  • 2.2Identify features on site plan to be used for survey work
  • 2.3Identify and record inconsistencies between site plan and actual site that will affect survey activity

3 Peg project

  • 3.1Establish layout sequence in consultation with site surveyor
  • 3.2Measure site dimensions according to plan and specification
  • 3.3Relay site dimensions from plan to site

Questions about assessing AHCSAW402

What does an assessment tool for AHCSAW402 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AHCSAW402 needs to address all 42 unit components: 3 elements with 15 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 AHCSAW402?

Auditori pulls the current release of AHCSAW402 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 AHCSAW402 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AHCSAW402 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 AHCSAW402, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
