What an assessment for SFLDEC006 must cover

105 assessable components: 5 elements (24 performance criteria), 17 performance evidence and 59 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.

Foundation skills

Reading skills: interpret sometimes unfamiliar and detailed job specifications for constructing floristry products.
Oral communication skills: ask detailed questions and actively listen to clarify and confirm design and job specification requirements make simple verbal reports about problems that arise during construction.
Numeracy skills: calculate required quantity of flower, plant and other materials, from job specifications, for each arrangement and for multiples interpret job specification measurements for floristry products and complete routine calculations to adapt.
Teamwork skills: discuss job specifications with other florists to ensure common understanding of production requirements.
Planning and organising skills: manage own timing and productivity to construct floristry products within deadlines.

Questions about assessing SFLDEC006

What does an assessment tool for SFLDEC006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SFLDEC006 needs to address all 105 unit components: 5 elements with 24 performance criteria, 17 performance evidence requirements, 59 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 SFLDEC006?

Auditori pulls the current release of SFLDEC006 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 SFLDEC006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SFLDEC006 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 SFLDEC006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
