What an assessment for AHCPMG305 must cover

38 assessable components: 2 elements (15 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 10 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 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.
