What an assessment for SFLDEC003 must cover

93 assessable components: 4 elements (20 performance criteria), 17 performance evidence and 50 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 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 Determine product style and construction requirements.

1.1Generate initial design ideas for product style considering product function, brief and budget.
1.2Apply elements and principles of design when generating initial and ongoing design ideas until final product plans are achieved.
1.3Itemise and analyse all proposed product components.
1.4Identify potential problems for product construction, analyse and consider solutions.
1.5Assess self and organisation’s capability to construct proposed product and identify additional required resources.

2 Develop and assess concepts.

2.1Develop a range of design concepts and provide creative solutions for constructing the floristry product.
2.2Assess concepts and collaborate with relevant personnel to maximise contribution of ideas to concepts.
2.3Review and assess design concepts for implications on technical feasibility, cost, style and function of floristry product.
2.4Research current and emerging technologies, market and design trends in floristry and incorporate additional concepts into the floral design.
2.5Create notes, plans and sketches of all concepts.

3 Experiment with concepts.

3.1Select and experiment with differing flower and plant materials considering and applying elements and principles of design.
3.2Test and experiment with different style concepts considering and applying elements and principles of design.
3.3Test and experiment with construction materials, techniques and ancillary items considering and applying elements and principles of design.
3.4Test and experiment with presentation materials to enhance floristry product considering and applying elements and principles of design.
3.5Consider practices to minimise negative environmental impact from use of materials and techniques.
3.6Maintain accurate records of all designs produced during experimentation process.

4 Evaluate and record the floral design.

4.1Evaluate design concepts to ensure product is consistent with creative and budgetary requirements and incorporates all required component elements.
4.2Consider different design concepts subjected to experimentation and their technical feasibility; select best product style and technique for construction.
4.3Develop job specifications for use during construction phase.
4.4Evaluate own performance in the design process and note areas for future self-improvement.

Foundation skills

Reading skills: interpret complex documents about floral design trends.
Oral communication skills: clearly represent complex design concepts to customers and other florists involved in the design process; ask open and closed probe questions and actively listen to elicit input and feedback on design concepts.
Numeracy skills: interpret budgetary constraints; calculate dimensions of display areas and appropriate size of floristry products to suit; complete complex calculations for production resources and time required for construction.
Planning and organising skills: collect and evaluate information on product style, function and budget to develop design concepts; manage own timing and productivity to complete designs within deadlines.
Self-management skills: critically analyse input from self, colleagues and customers.
Technology skills: use computers and software programs to develop and record design details and job specifications.

Questions about assessing SFLDEC003

What does an assessment tool for SFLDEC003 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SFLDEC003 needs to address all 93 unit components: 4 elements with 20 performance criteria, 17 performance evidence requirements, 50 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 SFLDEC003?

Auditori pulls the current release of SFLDEC003 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 SFLDEC003 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SFLDEC003 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 SFLDEC003, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
