What an assessment for AHCMDC303 must cover

43 assessable components: 4 elements (21 performance criteria), 11 performance evidence and 7 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 propagation of medicinal cannabis

1.1Confirm propagation plan, specifications and monitoring schedule with supervisor
1.2Identify health and safety hazards, assess risks and implement control measures
1.3Prepare self and required approved tools, equipment and materials, including personal protective equipment, according to hygiene and sanitation and health and safety procedures
1.4Select media for propagation method being used and required quantity of plants
1.5Check propagation work area is clean and free of waste on entering secured area

2 Prepare propagation material

2.1Identify, check and record type, quantity and/or weight of propagation material to be used against specifications
2.2Prepare propagation material according to propagation plan and method used
2.3Handle propagation material in a way that minimises damage
2.4Label propagation material according to identification requirements
2.5Check water and nutrient requirements according to specifications, and adjust manually or use control system to maintain to required levels
2.6Check temperature, lighting, carbon dioxide and humidity according to specifications, and use control system to adjust and maintain to required levels
2.7Record required data and observations according to workplace quality procedures, including any deviations in recorded quantities and weights

3 Monitor health of propagation material

3.1Calculate and record quantity and/or weight of propagation material to be monitored
3.2Check propagation material health according to monitoring schedule, and adjust water and nutrients levels as required
3.3Check for signs of disease or pests, and if required, apply treatment according to workplace procedures
3.4Check climate control, including temperature, lighting, carbon dioxide and humidity levels, according to specification and adjust as required
3.5Monitor propagation growing system for safety, hygiene and waste to be removed
3.6Record required data and observations according to workplace quality procedures, including any deviations in recorded quantities and weights

4 Complete post-propagation activities

4.1Check propagation system is clean before safely leaving secured area
4.2Check propagation material waste is weighed, recorded and placed in designated containers, and material waste is safely disposed of according to workplace and regulatory requirements
4.3Record and report on propagation activities, including any non-compliance or potential problems

Performance evidence

applied at least two of following propagation methods: plant grown by seed, cuttings from mother plant, tissue culture
monitored and recorded counts and/or weight of propagation material, and checked for deviations
labelled propagation material with the required information and correct terminology
monitored health of propagation material by visual inspection and sampling
applied required treatments and/or remedies to maintain health of propagation material and/or treat any identified common health issues, disease or pests
monitored, controlled and made required adjustments to water and nutrient needs and environmental climate conditions during the propagation cycle based on specifications and propagation material requirements
complied with security and waste disposal requirements
maintained accurate records and reports on propagation data and activities, including any non-compliance and deviations

Knowledge evidence

organisational medicinal cannabis propagation plan and monitoring schedule
process for conducting health and safety risk assessment, and control measures that may be used for propagation production processes
medicinal cannabis during the propagation cycle, including: • plant morphology • signs of common health issues, including nutrient deficiencies or excesses, environmental stress such as water, temperature and humidity stress, and mould, and their remedies • signs of common diseases and pests and their control
regulatory and workplace requirements related to the propagation of medicinal cannabis, including: • hygiene and sanitation • health and safety, including manual handling • physical security of cannabis • disposal and destruction of plant waste • recording and reporting requirements • identification and traceability • biosecurity
principles of Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) in relation to the propagation of medicinal cannabis, including: • propagation techniques, including cuttings from mother plants, grafting, seed sowing and tissue culture • preparation of propagation media for method used • use of pre-treatments • water and nutrient and carbon dioxide requirements • climate requirements in controlled growing systems, including lighting, temperature and humidity • monitoring plant health and climate conditions • disease and pest control • quality controls
function, operation and maintenance of tools and equipment used during the propagation of medicinal cannabis, including operational checks
function and operation of propagation growing systems, including their control systems

Foundation skills

Reading: Interpret textual information from a range of sources to identify relevant information about propagation requirements, monitoring schedule, workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
Writing: Use clear language and industry terminology to complete labels, workplace records and reports
Oral communication: Use clear language and industry terminology to report on propagation activities
Numeracy: Interpret numerical data from sampling and growing system gauges, and make adjustments to fertigation and climate controls

Questions about assessing AHCMDC303

What does an assessment tool for AHCMDC303 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AHCMDC303 needs to address all 43 unit components: 4 elements with 21 performance criteria, 11 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 AHCMDC303?

Auditori pulls the current release of AHCMDC303 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 AHCMDC303 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AHCMDC303 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 AHCMDC303, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
