What an assessment for SISCAQU023 must cover

64 assessable components: 3 elements (12 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 39 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 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 lesson requirements.

1.1Access and interpret swim program documents to determine requirements for individual lessons.
1.2Identify objectives and learning outcomes for individual lessons within overall program.
1.3Use available information to identify learner characteristics, special needs, and swimming ability to determine group profile for the lesson.

2 Plan individual swimming lessons.

2.1Refine existing objectives and learning outcomes according to specific needs of group profile for the lesson.
2.2Select drills, activities and equipment suited to the type of swimming and water safety skills to be targeted, and according to stage of program and progression of learners.
2.3Sequence and balance activities to enhance learner engagement and incorporate any requirements for interaction with parents, carers and on-deck team.
2.4Incorporate volume of activities suited to group profile and lesson duration, and determine timing for different phases of the lesson.
2.5Determine and incorporate teaching techniques suited to group profile, learning outcomes and drills and activities.
2.6Document lesson plan in appropriate format.

3 Review and modify future lessons.

3.1Collate and review feedback provided by learners and swim teachers.
3.2Identify successes, problems or difficulties with lesson delivery.
3.3Modify and improve future lessons according to feedback.

Performance evidence

develop and document plans for six swimming lessons:
each with a minimum duration of 30 minutes
plan at least two sequential lessons for each of the following types of swim classes:
water familiarisation, buoyancy and mobility
water safety and survival skills
swimming strokes
for two lessons, and according to actual feedback or case studies:
evaluate feedback provided by learners, or their parents or carers
evaluate swim teacher feedback modify future lesson content, and document details of the evaluation and changes.

Knowledge evidence

key content of established swim programs, including lesson progression and learning outcomes for different stages of the program
factors relevant to the aquatic environment in which lessons will be taught, and other general factors that affect lesson design:
indoor or outdoor aquatic venue, and environmental conditions
water temperature, depth and gradient, and available water space
availability of different types of equipment
lesson duration
class size and teacher-learner ratios
learner considerations for selecting teaching techniques, activities and equipment:
age and body composition
fitness level and physical capabilities
emotional, behavioural and intellectual ability or disability
swimming skill level
skill development needs
different types of swim teaching classes:
water familiarisation, buoyancy and mobility
water safety and survival skills
swimming and survival strokes
for each of the above types of classes:
suitable demonstration and teaching techniques
types of suitable drills, activities and equipment, including those that involve parents or carers
how to break down, identify and document teaching points for different types of activities
class formations for different types of activities
how different types of activities can be combined and sequenced for optimum effectiveness
established phases of swimming lessons, their underpinning rationale and timing for each within designated lesson duration:
introduction, revision and warm up
lesson activities, main theme and contrast activities
conclusion of lesson and handover of duty of care
components of swimming lessons, and how they can be used effectively to target lesson objectives and learning outcomes:
activity combinations and sequence
volume of activities
skill progressions and progressive practices
rest intervals
format and inclusions of documented lesson plans
methods that can be used to evaluate effectiveness of swimming lessons:
learner and teacher evaluation questionnaires and reports
discussions with teachers delivering lessons
self-evaluation if delivering lessons
discussions with venue operator on success of programs offered
evaluation of complaints, problems and difficulties.

Foundation skills

Reading skills: interpret detailed and sometimes unfamiliar swim programs which include swimming terminology and abbreviations.
Writing skills: produce detailed lesson plans that use swimming terminology and abbreviations for teaching use; use fundamental sentence structure to complete evaluation records that require factual and subjective information.
Numeracy skills: complete calculations for lesson plans involving times, intervals, and progressions.
Problem-solving skills: critically evaluate successes and failures of lessons to initiate future improvements.

What does an assessment tool for SISCAQU023 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SISCAQU023 needs to address all 64 unit components: 3 elements with 12 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 39 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 SISCAQU023?

Auditori pulls the current release of SISCAQU023 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 SISCAQU023 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SISCAQU023 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 SISCAQU023, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
