What an assessment for RIIEGS202E must cover

52 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 11 performance evidence and 18 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 5 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. Plan and prepare to conduct field work

1.1Obtain, interpret and confirm work requirements
1.2Access, interpret and apply compliance documentation required for conducting field work and confirm work activity is compliant
1.3Identify and minimise environmental issues and potential hazards, and assess and address risks within scope of own role and according to workplace procedures
1.4Select and wear personal protective equipment required for work activities
1.5Carry out surveys using required survey equipment
1.6Conduct reconnaissance survey of the field
1.7Locate reference pegs where available

2. Design, plot and lay out a grid

2.1Design a grid from supplied information according to workplace procedures and task requirements
2.2Plot grid to scale according to workplace procedures
2.3Mark baseline and grid datum mark-up pegs with eastings and northings
2.4Lay out grid using plotting techniques

3. Read and use maps

3.1Identify the sources of maps
3.2Identify the types and features of maps used for mineral exploration fieldwork
3.3Maintain map storage system
3.4Calculate scales and distances between points
3.5Calculate bearings relative to true, magnetic, grid and local north

4. Locate mining tenement marks

4.1Obtain maps of mining tenement from supervising geologist
4.2Mark out or locate drill hole or sample collection point locations as per map coordinates using Global Positioning System (GPS)

Performance evidence

conduct field work on at least two occasions, including:
conducting surveys
designing and plotting grids
calculating scales and distances between points
marking out, locating and maintaining mining tenement marks.
During the above, the candidate must:
locate and apply documentation required for conducting field work
implement the requirements, procedures and techniques for conducting field work, including:
identifying and using surveying instruments
using field testing and measurement instruments/equipment
identifying and applying plotting techniques.

Knowledge evidence

key policies, procedures and requirements for conducting field work, including those for:
collecting and analysing data
field surveillance
reading maps
calculating scales, distances and bearings
mining tenement
laying out grids
operating GPS and functions
waypoint generation
datum conversion
Australian Map Grid (AMG) and latitude and longitude
track logging
key factors affecting work activities described in performance evidence above, including:
types and functions of GPS and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS)
satellite coverage
plotting techniques
types and features of maps
mining field work team roles and objectives.

Foundation skills

Numeracy: Calculates and interprets numerical information relating to bearings, scales and distances between points
Reading: Identifies and interprets information from workplace procedures
Oral Communication: Listens to clear, sequenced task instructions of several steps and asks clarifying questions as required
Writing: Records simple and routine information and marks out information on maps
Technology: Uses GPS to locate and mark out mining tenement

Questions about assessing RIIEGS202E

What does an assessment tool for RIIEGS202E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIEGS202E needs to address all 52 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 11 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 RIIEGS202E?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIEGS202E 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 RIIEGS202E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIEGS202E 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 RIIEGS202E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
