What an assessment for CUAMUP614 must cover

60 assessable components: 4 elements (30 performance criteria), 10 performance evidence and 13 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 7 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 Prepare to create prosthetics

1.1Confirm prosthetic production requirements in consultation with required personnel and with reference to production documentation
1.2Identify construction timelines and other production factors that may affect production processes
1.3Identify performer requirements
1.4Source reference materials and research aspects of required effects
1.5Maintain currency of reference materials and findings, and organise them for easy access by others
1.6Generate design and production ideas that meet production requirements
1.7Document plans for construction of prosthetics according to production requirements
1.8Discuss plans with required personnel and incorporate feedback into final plans as required
1.9Discuss with required personnel the types of materials to be used to create prosthetics according to production requirements

2 Produce original life casts for prosthetic pieces

2.1Check with performers about medical conditions that could prevent or hinder life casts being taken
2.2Explain the casting process and emergency procedures to performers according to production requirements
2.3Position performers according to production requirements
2.4Determine the position of separate or joining sections, seams and keys
2.5Check materials and release agents meet production requirements
2.6Prepare, compound and safely apply materials
2.7Obtain accurate replication of performers according to production requirements
2.8Safely remove life casts and restore performer skin and hair to original condition
2.9Pour up positive form in life cast using materials that meet production requirements
2.10Make corrections and fix distortions in the positive form

3 Make prosthetics

3.1Determine placement of prosthetic overlaps or blending edges on performers according to production requirements
3.2Compound, handle, store and dispose of materials according to manufacturer instructions, safety data sheets and health, safety and hygiene procedures
3.3Determine appropriate materials and techniques to make prosthetics according to design plans
3.4Prepare life cast surface and sculpt prosthetic design onto life cast positive using sculpting materials that meet production requirements
3.5Create negative moulds of sculpt
3.6Prepare prosthetic casting material and pour up, run and cast prosthetic material into prepared moulds
3.7Prevent deformation and impairment when separating moulds and re-joining sectional moulds
3.8De-mould, finish and store prosthetics and moulds to avoid deterioration, distortion and damage

4 Complete work

4.1Safely store and dispose of materials and equipment used in creation of prosthetics according to production requirements
4.2Complete workplace documentation as required
4.3Evaluate finished prosthetics against production requirements and note areas for improvement

Performance evidence

create prosthetics for special make-up effects according to at least two different production requirements.
undertake research to inform the design of prosthetics for special make-up effects
consider special requirements of performers when designing prosthetic pieces
develop designs and construction plans for prosthetic pieces that incorporate feedback and ideas from others
work collaboratively with others and make life casts for prosthetic pieces
construct prosthetic pieces that meet design specifications
safely store components used in the construction process
complete work within production schedules
comply with work health and safety (WHS) and hygiene requirements when designing and creating prosthetics for special make-up effects
clearly explain procedures to performers during prosthetic casting and fitting sessions

Questions about assessing CUAMUP614

What does an assessment tool for CUAMUP614 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CUAMUP614 needs to address all 60 unit components: 4 elements with 30 performance criteria, 10 performance evidence requirements, 13 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 CUAMUP614?

Auditori pulls the current release of CUAMUP614 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 CUAMUP614 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CUAMUP614 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 CUAMUP614, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
