What an assessment for RIIOGD404E must cover
59 assessable components: 3 elements (17 performance criteria), 22 performance evidence and 19 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 1 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.

- 1.4Select and wear personal protective equipment required for work activities
- 1.5Communicate with other personnel at site according to work requirements and confirm briefings and handover details are communicated and received
- 1.6Apply air drilling and conventional mud drilling techniques
- 1.7Apply work health and safety and emergency procedures
2 Examine correct air drilling procedures
- 2.1Obtain, interpret, confirm and apply pre-tour and pre-drilling checklists
- 2.2Identify components that make up an air drilling package and explain their use to crew members
- 2.3Identify and apply parameters to watch during work activity
- 2.4Identify and secure crew numbers and expertise
- 2.5Identify and confirm conditions required to initialise the drilling of new holes
- 2.6Identify, explain and carry out test procedures with crew
- 2.7Identify and explain tripping procedures to crew and apply
- 2.8Determine and implement required communication and record keeping procedures
3 Conduct housekeeping activities
- 3.1Clean, check, perform maintenance on and store plant, tools and equipment
- 3.2Report issues identified with plant, tools and equipment
Performance evidence
- coordinate air drilling operations on at least two occasions, including:
- applying air drilling and conventional mud drilling techniques
- watching parameters during operations
- performing calculations, including:
- annular velocity
- sinking/slipping velocity
- pressure
- flow test procedure
- volume
- converting between metric and imperial
- using a calculator.
- During the above, the candidate must:
- locate and apply required documentation, policies and procedures
- implement the requirements, procedures and techniques for the coordination of air drilling operations through:
- identifying, addressing and reporting potential hazards and risks
- implementing emergency response plan and procedures
- identifying, addressing and reporting environmental issues
- rectifying any identified faults and malfunctions within scope of own role and escalating where required
- work with others to coordinate air drilling operations that meets required outcomes, including:
- preparing for and organising work activities to meet task requirements
- communicating with others to receive and clarify work instructions
- using a range of communication techniques and aids to advise others of work activity and exclusion zones.
Knowledge evidence
- key legislation required to coordinate air drilling operations
- key policies, procedures and established requirements for coordinating air drilling operations, including those for:
- identifying and managing risks
- site isolation, signage and erecting barriers
- work health and safety
- environmental issues
- selecting all plant, tools and equipment to carry out tasks and checking for faults
- carrying out work to specifications
- communication techniques relevant to work activities
- explaining tripping procedures to crew
- determining pressure volume requirements
- maintaining air requirements
- calculations, including those for:
- annular velocity
- sinking/slipping velocity
- pressure
- flow test procedure

Questions about assessing RIIOGD404E
What does an assessment tool for RIIOGD404E need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIIOGD404E needs to address all 59 unit components: 3 elements with 17 performance criteria, 22 performance evidence requirements, 19 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 RIIOGD404E?
Auditori pulls the current release of RIIOGD404E 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 RIIOGD404E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing RIIOGD404E 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 RIIOGD404E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
