What an assessment for RIIMEX407 must cover

55 assessable components: 6 elements (32 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 16 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 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.

Performance evidence

apply and monitor the ground management plan on at least two occasions, including: conducting geotechnical inspection of work areas, monitoring and assessing the impact of operations, including any blasting, on ground stability and making adjustments as required, identifying and evaluating the hazards and risks associated with the ground controls and placement of plant and equipment, assessing and assigning appropriate plant and applying appropriate remediation techniques, implementing stockpile and dump control measures, identifying surface and groundwater issues, identifying training needs of team members and preparing a training plan, assessing outcomes to make recommendations and writing reports.
locate and apply relevant documentation, policies and procedures and confirm that the work activity is compliant
implement the requirements, procedures and techniques for applying and monitoring the ground management plan, including: identifying hazards and risks, and implementing control measures, accessing and analysing archival and historical information related to ground control and batter stability issues, interpreting and applying pit and slope design criteria, participating in audits, identifying and applying geological and geotechnical information
work with others to apply and monitor the ground management plan
communicate clearly and concisely with others to resolve coordination requirements prior to commencing and during work activities.

Questions about assessing RIIMEX407

What does an assessment tool for RIIMEX407 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIMEX407 needs to address all 55 unit components: 6 elements with 32 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 16 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 RIIMEX407?

Auditori pulls the current release of RIIMEX407 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 RIIMEX407 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing RIIMEX407 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 RIIMEX407, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
