What an assessment for CUAMUP615 must cover

56 assessable components: 4 elements (25 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 13 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 9 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 apply prosthetics

1.1Analyse production documentation and determine production requirements and schedules
1.2Check prosthetic application products are available according to production and budget requirements
1.3Source reference materials and documentation according to production requirements
1.4Identify factors that may affect application of prosthetics
1.5Identify type and condition of performer skin and any special performer requirements
1.6Test special make-up products according to production requirements
1.7Explain the process of applying prosthetics to performer and respond to questions as required

2 Develop and document prosthetic designs

2.1Discuss initial prosthetic design concepts with required personnel
2.2Evaluate initial prosthetic concepts and select ideas that meet production requirements
2.3Develop prosthetic designs that meet production requirements
2.4Discuss additions or changes to production requirements with required personnel and incorporate into prosthetic application designs as required
2.5Ensure consistent interpretation of character and style according to production requirements
2.6Prepare make-up plans with details of costings and required resources according to production requirements
2.7Distribute copies of make-up plans to required personnel

3 Apply and maintain prosthetics

3.1Determine positioning of prosthetics on performer according to production requirements
3.2Apply prosthetics using materials, equipment and techniques that meet production requirements
3.3Apply colour to prosthetics using products, equipment and techniques that meet production requirements
3.4Evaluate application of prosthetics according to production requirements and adjust as required
3.5Confirm personnel, products and equipment available for prosthetic maintenance according to production requirements
3.6Maintain prosthetics according to production requirements and adjust as required

4 Remove prosthetic applications

4.1Advise performer of prosthetic removal process according to production requirements
4.2Remove prosthetic applications according to production requirements
4.3Identify skin irritation or other problems and seek medical advice according to production requirements as required
4.4Clean equipment and check work area is left in original or improved condition
4.5Complete workplace documentation as required

Questions about assessing CUAMUP615

What does an assessment tool for CUAMUP615 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CUAMUP615 needs to address all 56 unit components: 4 elements with 25 performance criteria, 9 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 CUAMUP615?

Auditori pulls the current release of CUAMUP615 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 CUAMUP615 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CUAMUP615 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 CUAMUP615, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
