What an assessment for CUALGT514 must cover

44 assessable components: 5 elements (22 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 8 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 lighting requirements

1.1Analyse performance outlines or scripts to determine required lighting design concepts
1.2Participate in preliminary concept meetings with required personnel to discuss lighting options and requirements
1.3Identify factors that may determine and affect lighting design
1.4Access and prepare required documentation and brief lighting team on requirements

2 Research lighting design concepts and technologies

2.1Identify and source references that may inform the design process
2.2Analyse sources and references in context of design project
2.3Evaluate impacts and potential of new and emerging technologies to inform the design
2.4Obtain materials to develop initial design concepts

3 Evaluate lighting design ideas

3.1Generate and provide creative solutions to technical lighting issues
3.2Discuss ideas and collaborate with required personnel
3.3Analyse ideas for implications on cost and time, technical feasibility, and their suitability for brief
3.4Provide strategic lighting information that enhances production outcomes

4 Develop and document lighting designs

4.1Consult with required personnel during the development of designs
4.2Collaborate with required personnel to achieve consistent artistic interpretation
4.3Evaluate and select approach according to budget, research findings and ongoing reflection and discussion
4.4Use initial concepts as the basis for developing lighting designs within the required timeframe and according to budget, schedule, and WHS requirements
4.5Complete documentation according to production requirements and organisational procedures

5 Finalise lighting design

5.1Present draft lighting plans and specifications to required personnel in a required format and within required timeframes
5.2Participate in initial and ongoing evaluation of draft designs
5.3Negotiate and agree to modifications to designs and undertake necessary amendments
5.4Agree to final designs and produce documentation
5.5Present final design, plans and specifications to required personnel and confirm all production requirements have been met

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CUALGT514 needs to address all 44 unit components: 5 elements with 22 performance criteria, 5 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 CUALGT514?

Auditori pulls the current release of CUALGT514 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 CUALGT514 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CUALGT514 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 CUALGT514, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
