What an assessment for AHCMDC201 must cover

53 assessable components: 4 elements (26 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 15 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 Prepare for medicinal cannabis propagation tasks

1.1Identify and confirm propagation tasks, workplace procedures and specifications with supervisor
1.2Recognise health and safety hazards, and report safety concerns
1.3Collect required tools, equipment and materials for the task, and check for approval and functionality
1.4Fit and use personal protective equipment according to health and safety and hygiene requirements
1.5Apply personal hygiene and tools and equipment sanitation procedures
1.6Check propagation work area is clean and free of waste on entering secured area

2 Assist with propagation of plant material

2.1Identify propagation material to be used, and confirm quantity and/or weights with supervisor
2.2Prepare media for the propagation process being undertaken according to supervisor instructions
2.3Assist with taking cuttings from mother plant, sowing seed or preparing tissue culture as required
2.4Place cuttings, seed or tissue into prepared media to required level as directed by supervisor
2.5Assist with labelling propagation material according to workplace procedures
2.6Place media in propagation growing system using safe practices
2.7Assist with water and nutrient requirements according to specifications
2.8Assist with temperature, lighting, carbon dioxide and humidity requirements according to specifications
2.9Record required data according to workplace quality procedures, reporting any deviations from quantity and weights

3 Assist with monitoring propagation material health and environmental climate conditions

3.1Confirm quantity and weights of propagation material to be monitored with supervisor
3.2Assist with monitoring health of propagation material according to monitoring schedule, and report abnormalities
3.3Check for signs of disease or pests, and report presence or potential of disease or pests
3.4Assist with monitoring water and nutrient requirements, applying re-wetting techniques as required
3.5Assist with monitoring climate control levels according to specifications, and report levels that are out of acceptable range
3.6Keep propagation growing system clean and free from propagation material waste at all times
3.7Maintain records according to workplace quality procedures, reporting any deviations from quantity and weights

4 Clean up after propagation and monitoring activities

4.1Clean and sanitise propagation work area before safely leaving secured area
4.2Weigh, record and place propagation material waste in designated containers according to workplace and regulatory requirements
4.3Dispose of material waste safely according to workplace procedures
4.4Check, clean and sanitise and store tools and equipment, reporting identified repair requirements to supervisor

Questions about assessing AHCMDC201

What does an assessment tool for AHCMDC201 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AHCMDC201 needs to address all 53 unit components: 4 elements with 26 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 15 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 AHCMDC201?

Auditori pulls the current release of AHCMDC201 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 AHCMDC201 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AHCMDC201 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 AHCMDC201, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
