What an assessment for AHCGRI402 must cover

50 assessable components: 4 elements (23 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 19 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.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for AHCGRI402?

Auditori pulls the current release of AHCGRI402 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 AHCGRI402 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AHCGRI402 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 AHCGRI402, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
