What an assessment for SFLDEC002 must cover

132 assessable components: 3 elements (14 performance criteria), 53 performance evidence and 60 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 5 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 product style and construction components.

1.1Generate initial design ideas for product style, considering product function, brief and budget.
1.2Apply elements and principles of design when generating initial and ongoing design ideas until final product plans are achieved.
1.3Itemise all proposed product components.
1.4Identify potential problems for product construction, discuss and resolve issues with relevant personnel.

2 Develop and assess ideas for production of floristry products.

2.1Develop a range of creative ideas for constructing floristry products in consultation with relevant personnel, if appropriate.
2.2Generate alternative ideas for production considering alternative materials, techniques and presentation.
2.3Consider practices to minimise negative environmental impact from use of materials and techniques.
2.4Evaluate merits and implications of design ideas on technical feasibility, cost, style and function of product.
2.5Create notes and sketches of design ideas to assist with construction.
2.6Maintain accurate records of all designs produced during concept development process.

3 Evaluate and record the floral design.

3.1Review design options to ensure product is consistent with creative and costing requirements and incorporates all required component elements.
3.2Consider different approaches and select best product style and technique for construction.
3.3Develop job specifications for use during construction phase.
3.4Evaluate own performance in floristry product design and note areas for future self-improvement.

Questions about assessing SFLDEC002

What does an assessment tool for SFLDEC002 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SFLDEC002 needs to address all 132 unit components: 3 elements with 14 performance criteria, 53 performance evidence requirements, 60 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 SFLDEC002?

Auditori pulls the current release of SFLDEC002 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 SFLDEC002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SFLDEC002 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 SFLDEC002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
