AHCSHG402 — Conduct equipment experting for machine shearing

1 Trim and finish combs

• 1.1Identify signs of non-optimal equipment performance and remedy
• 1.2Identify potential and existing work health and safety hazards and implement control measures
• 1.3Confirm that the trim and finish meet the requirements of the current shearing task
• 1.4Maintain control of comb and tools throughout the experting process
• 1.5Adapt the comb in a form that meets individual shearing style

2 Scallop comb

• 2.1Recognise and apply the principles and method of scalloping
• 2.2Determine the interrelationship between correctly scalloped combs and shearing performance in terms of density of wool, time of year, and breed
• 2.3Scallop combs to meet the shearing style of individual shearers

What does an assessment tool for AHCSHG402 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AHCSHG402 needs to address all 17 unit components: 2 elements with 8 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 AHCSHG402?

Auditori pulls the current release of AHCSHG402 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 AHCSHG402 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AHCSHG402 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 AHCSHG402, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
