What an assessment for SISOFLD006 must cover

54 assessable components: 2 elements (10 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 36 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 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 Plan for navigation.

  • 1.1Obtain and become familiar with maps, appropriate for the activity, and features that will assist with navigation at the location.
  • 1.2Interpret map symbols and information to identify the predetermined route in activity plan.
  • 1.3Identify planned alternative routes to deal with emergencies or changed conditions.
  • 1.4Select a compass suitable for basic navigation requirements.

2 Navigate a basic route on land or water.

  • 2.1Orientate map to surroundings with and without use of a compass.
  • 2.2Follow the planned route using map, route markers, natural and constructed features and compass to assist.
  • 2.3Use techniques to estimate distance travelled.
  • 2.4Identify unfamiliar features in the field using map and compass to maintain route.
  • 2.5Make minor adjustments to route according to prevailing conditions, and navigate using map, route markers, natural and constructed features, and compass as required.
  • 2.6Use techniques to determine location.

Performance evidence

  • according to predetermined routes in activity plans, navigate three different planned routes
  • determining location using map, natural features, constructed objects and distance travelled, confirming grid reference
  • collecting features
  • catch points
  • determine one minor adjustment to route in the field and navigate the changed route using a map and compass.

Knowledge evidence

  • trusted sources of maps for the region or locality
  • different technologies used to access maps
  • characteristics of different map types, their different uses and advantages and disadvantages:
  • paper based and digital
  • sketch maps and diagrams
  • guide book maps
  • charts
  • topographic
  • information found on maps including symbols and what they represent:
  • survey or edition date
  • map legend
  • scale and distance
  • grid lines and numbers
  • cardinal points and bearings
  • contour lines, altitude and water depth
  • topographic features
  • markers, beacons and buoyage
  • gradient
  • roads, tracks and waterways
  • principal colours used on maps and what they represent
  • features of a basic compass and factors which affect accuracy
  • map and compass techniques used to:
  • orientate map to surroundings
  • maintain a designated course
  • identify unfamiliar features
  • make minor adjustments to routes
  • the following navigation techniques at a basic level of understanding:
  • determining location using map, natural features, constructed objects and distance travelled
  • collecting features
  • catch points
  • types of navigation aids found in the field and how these can assist with navigation:
  • track markers, signs and arrows
  • track and creek junctions and crossings
  • survey markers
  • cairns
  • natural features and constructed objects.

Foundation skills

  • Reading: interpret straightforward but potentially unfamiliar information on maps and signage interpret factual activity plan information in familiar formats.
  • Numeracy: interpret basic numerical data from maps and signage and complete basic additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions interpret and calculate degrees, mils and angles.
  • Technology: use a range of technologies to access information about routes.

Questions about assessing SISOFLD006

What does an assessment tool for SISOFLD006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SISOFLD006 needs to address all 54 unit components: 2 elements with 10 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 36 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 SISOFLD006?

Auditori pulls the current release of SISOFLD006 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 SISOFLD006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SISOFLD006 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 SISOFLD006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
