What an assessment for CUAHAZ405 must cover
65 assessable components: 7 elements (37 performance criteria), 13 performance evidence and 8 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 7 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.

- review production documentation and consult with required personnel in preparation for hazardous action sequences
- take visual continuity into account when preparing for sequences
- confirm logistical arrangements and communication protocols for shoots
- check all aspects of locations, elements and equipment for compliance with licensing, safety standards and regulatory requirements, and industry codes of practice prior to executing sequences
- check camera positions and note visual cues for positioning elements and equipment during hazardous action sequences
- abort sequences if testing reveals unacceptable risk levels
- perform hazardous action sequences according to safely controls, regulatory requirements and production requirements

Questions about assessing CUAHAZ405
What does an assessment tool for CUAHAZ405 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CUAHAZ405 needs to address all 65 unit components: 7 elements with 37 performance criteria, 13 performance evidence requirements, 8 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 CUAHAZ405?
Auditori pulls the current release of CUAHAZ405 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 CUAHAZ405 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing CUAHAZ405 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 CUAHAZ405, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
