Questions about assessing AHCCHM101

What does an assessment tool for AHCCHM101 need to cover?

Auditori pulls the current release of AHCCHM101 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?
