What an assessment for FWPSIL3002 must cover
32 assessable components: 3 elements (15 performance criteria), 6 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 mechanical planting operations

- 1.4Identify emergency and evacuation procedures to follow in the event of an incident or accident
- 1.5Consult with appropriate personnel to ensure that work is coordinated effectively with others in the workplace
- 1.6Select tools, equipment, machines and materials for mechanical tree planting, and check for serviceability according to workplace procedures
- 1.7Obtain, visually assess and prepare planting stock according to work order
2 Assess planting site and stock
- 2.1Assess and prepare planting site according to work order
- 2.2Select quantity of tree stock to plant according to production target and stock quality
- 2.3Select work methods and patterns to suit tree type, plant site and type of equipment
- 2.4Identify and resolve issues associated with the site, equipment, tree stock, hazards or safety according to workplace procedures
3 Plant forest trees
- 3.1Conduct pre-operational checks of planting machine and report faults if identified
- 3.2Use planting machine to plant tree stock according to production target, manufacturer instructions and workplace procedures
- 3.3Identify and dispose of unsuitable tree stock according to environmental protection practices
- 3.4Maintain and store planting machine, tools, equipment and remaining tree stock according to workplace procedures
Performance evidence
- evaluated the planting site, determined the species and quantity of trees to be planted and selected the appropriate work method taking into account site characteristics, machine type and tree stock
- complied with environmental and safety standards, including use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
- safely set up and operated a planting machine to plant forest trees taking into account production target, machine capacity, manufacturer instructions and workplace procedures
- followed environmental protection practices in disposing of unsuitable tree stock
- maintained and stored planting machine and remaining tree stock
- identified and resolved one problem associated with mechanically planting tree stock selected from: • mechanical equipment fault or malfunction • environmental hazard • safety hazard • site characteristic • unsuitable planting stock • pest or disease
Knowledge evidence
- typical hazards present in mechanised forest tree planting situations: • slope • water • rock • undergrowth • slash • depressions and holes • falling or fallen branches • equipment hazards • fuel • manual handling
- typical tree stock defects and visual characteristics: • pests • diseases • nutritional deficiencies
- factors to consider for planting trees, and how these affect quality and characteristics of grown trees: • planting depth • spacing and row positioning of seedlings • root placement
- purpose, features, operation and maintenance of tree planting machines
- workplace procedures specific to planting trees mechanically: • workplace health and safety, with particular emphasis on equipment lock-out, risk control and use of PPE • communication reporting lines
- environmental protection practices for forest settings: • cleaning plant, tools and equipment • disposing of and recycling waste • returning the environment to its original or near to original condition on completion of activity
- safe manual handling techniques for operating in forest settings, specifically those for: • shifting • lifting • carrying tree stock
Foundation skills
- Reading: Extract information from industry guides and standard references on mechanical tree planting procedures
- Writing: Complete basic records of tree planting activities
- Oral communication: Ask open and closed questions and use active listening techniques to clarify contents of work orders Provide oral reports on tree planting activities
- Numeracy: Complete routine calculations involving number and spacing of tree plantings

Questions about assessing FWPSIL3002
What does an assessment tool for FWPSIL3002 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for FWPSIL3002 needs to address all 32 unit components: 3 elements with 15 performance criteria, 6 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 FWPSIL3002?
Auditori pulls the current release of FWPSIL3002 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 FWPSIL3002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing FWPSIL3002 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 FWPSIL3002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
