What an assessment for RIICTT301E must cover

41 assessable components: 5 elements (27 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 6 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 Prepare for fluid assisted directional boring

  • 1.1Obtain, interpret and confirm work requirements plans, specifications, quality requirements and operational details for task

  • 1.8Obtain and interpret emergency procedures and identify steps required in case of fire, accident, and other emergencies

2 Determine boring requirements

  • 2.1Determine location, alignment direction, level and grade of bore from drawings and specifications
  • 2.2Determine bore pathway for underground vertical and horizontal alignment using above and below ground survey instruments
  • 2.3Conduct visual geological investigation of alignment and determine differing soil types and groundwater conditions

3 Check and prepare equipment

  • 3.1Select bore head and drilling fluid for strata
  • 3.2Position and stake down boring equipment
  • 3.3Conduct preoperational start-up, shutdown and communication procedures
  • 3.4Inspect equipment controls and functions and report faults
  • 3.5Carry out equipment maintenance to schedule

4 Drive bore hole

  • 4.1Prepare launch and receiving pits for inserting and receiving bore head according to site requirements
  • 4.2Extract and dispose of mud according to job specifications
  • 4.3Monitor bore head progress for vertical and horizontal alignment and confirm machine operations meet site and task requirements
  • 4.4Monitor drilling fluid and accommodate differing strata formation
  • 4.5Remove bore head according to job requirements
  • 4.6Check and fit back reaming attachment to drill string
  • 4.7Conduct back reaming to specifications as required
  • 4.8Position drums and rolls of installing product as required and confirm discharge of product

5 Clean up

  • 5.1Clear work area and dispose of and recycle materials as required
  • 5.2Clean, check, perform maintenance on and store plant, tools and equipment and report issues as required or address within scope of own role
  • 5.3Finalise and process written records according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

  • conduct fluid assisted directional boring on at least two occasions including at least 50 metres of fluid assisted directional boring.
  • locate, apply and retain on site access to documentation, policies and procedures required for conducting fluid assisted directional boring
  • implement the requirements, procedures and techniques for conducting fluid assisted directional boring, including: interpreting engineering drawings, plans and specifications, using laser control equipment, using electronic devices to locate electronic cable, applying electronic equipment calibration, applying thrust and rotation of boring equipment, applying hazardous materials handling methods, applying job safety analyses (JSAs) and safe work method statements, completing housekeeping activities
  • work with others to conduct fluid assisted directional boring that meets required outcomes, including: organising work activities to meet task requirements, communicating with others to receive and clarify work instructions, using a range of communication techniques and systems, using signage to advise others of work activity and exclusion zones
  • use systems to monitor boring status
  • confirm work instructions, plans, specifications and quality requirements.

Knowledge evidence

  • asset location drawings and specifications
  • safety data sheets and materials handling methods
  • strike alert systems
  • key risks relating to conducting fluid assisted directional boring, including those associated with: traffic, live electrical services, confined spaces, falls, locating near other works in progress, manual handling, gas
  • key policies and procedures, legislation and established requirements for conducting fluid assisted directional boring operations, including those for: workplace health and safety, site isolation and traffic control, launch and receiving pits, waste disposal and recycling, operating and maintaining equipment, anchoring and back reaming
  • key factors affecting work activities described in performance evidence above, including: categories of horizontal directional drilling, working in a road reserve, equipment types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations, procedures for drilling fluids, thrust and rotation of boring equipment, slinging procedures, soil types, groundwater conditions, attachment types including implements, stabilising equipment including anchors, remote unit operations.

Foundation skills

  • Reading: Identifies and interprets information from at times complex workplace procedures, documentation, legislation and regulations
  • Writing: Records simple and routine information relating to work activities

Questions about assessing RIICTT301E

What does an assessment tool for RIICTT301E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIICTT301E needs to address all 41 unit components: 5 elements with 27 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 RIICTT301E?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIICTT301E 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 RIICTT301E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIICTT301E 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 RIICTT301E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
