Questions about assessing CUADTM517

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for CUADTM517?
Auditori pulls the current release of CUADTM517 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?
