- 3.6Perform final fitting, check fit against quality standards and make any required alterations to obtain optimum final fit
Performance evidence
- assessed shoe needs and produced shoe specifications
- organised resources and materials, and maintained forge fire at appropriate temperature
- made one set (front and hind) of plain stamped shoes and one set of fullered shoes
- made three different modifications or alterations to standard shoes from the following list to ensure optimal fit for healthy equines: - stud holes - roller toe, rocker toe, square toe - wedged heel, extended heel, trailer heel - adjusted shoes to ensure correct fit.
Knowledge evidence
- shoes required for a range of equines, including: sizes, styles and types; hand made; reasons for use of various metal types and dimensions in shoe making; gauge of steel and weight of shoe
- considerations and variants that apply in making shoes to fit an individual equine, including: type or breed of equine; level of work or discipline of equine; gait and movement of the hoof wall with weight bearing
- process for making shoes, including: marking the length and cutting the bar stock; creating the toe bend; marking and punching the nail holes; levelling the shoe; forming and finishing the heels
- quality standards in fitting shoes, including: fit, balance and comfort of shoe; nail holes - size, position and security; no burrs or sharp edges
- safe work practices, including: safe handling techniques for equines; manual handling; using personal protective equipment (PPE); use of flammable materials and equipment; use of chemicals and quenching materials; safe disposal of wastes.
Foundation skills
- Writing: Record shoe specifications for individual equines in workplace register or documentation
- Numeracy: Use measuring devices and take measurements accurately; Monitor temperature gauges
- Navigate the world of work: Take responsibility for adherence to workplace and safety requirements relating to own role and work area

Questions about assessing ACMFAR307
What does an assessment tool for ACMFAR307 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ACMFAR307 needs to address all 27 unit components: 3 elements with 14 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 5 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 ACMFAR307?
Auditori pulls the current release of ACMFAR307 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 ACMFAR307 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing ACMFAR307 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 ACMFAR307, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
