What an assessment for DEFWDV029 must cover

29 assessable components: 3 elements (10 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 10 knowledge evidence requirements. 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 hand tools

  • 1.1Determine requirements for hand tools to meet work task and worksite requirements
  • 1.2Develop a work plan that is consistent with dive plan
  • 1.3Select and inspect hand tools and protective equipment, and report any faults to supervisor
  • 1.4Safely secure hand tools for transport to and from dive site
  • 1.5Conduct a risk assessment of worksite hazards and take action/s to mitigate identified risks

2 Operate hand tools under water

  • 2.1Secure hand tools on self during dive for accessibility and lack of interference with mobility and dive equipment
  • 2.2Establish a work safe area and confirm location and safety of divers prior to commencing work task
  • 2.3Operate hand tools under water safely in accordance with work plan

3 Maintain hand tools

  • 3.1Minimise environmental impact arising from use of hand tools and recover waste products in accordance with dive plan
  • 3.2Undertake post-dive hand tool and protective equipment serviceability checks in accordance with manufacturer specifications and report defects, as required, in accordance with organisational procedures.

Performance evidence

  • applying relevant industry standards, organisational policies and procedures
  • attending to personal and collective safety
  • developing a work plan in agreement with dive plan
  • employing hand tools underwater in accordance with work plan

  • using not less than four different hand tools in underwater work tasks for a total usage time of not less than 60 minutes across a number of work tasks.

Knowledge evidence

  • care of hand tools
  • dive physics relevant to tool use and operation, including apparent weight, Newton’s law of action and reaction
  • diving descent and ascent techniques relevant to carrying of tools
  • general diving safety awareness relevant to carrying and operation of tools, including: buoyancy and forces encountered during tool use (Newton’s law of action and reaction); hazards and risk controls for tool operation and transport; interference with mobility; potential damage to diving equipment caused by tools and tool operation; working in confined spaces
  • identification of tool faults
  • organisational policies and procedures
  • relevant dive equipment and operational techniques for carrying and use of tools
  • relevant industry standards
  • use of tools on land and underwater

Questions about assessing DEFWDV029

What does an assessment tool for DEFWDV029 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for DEFWDV029 needs to address all 29 unit components: 3 elements with 10 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 DEFWDV029?

Auditori pulls the current release of DEFWDV029 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 DEFWDV029 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing DEFWDV029 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 DEFWDV029, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
