What an assessment for SHBBCOS003 must cover

79 assessable components: 6 elements (32 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 32 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 7 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.

  • 5.2Identify potential techniques to achieve desired outcome.
  • 5.3Produce sample designs using alternative methods and techniques.
  • 5.4Evaluate sample designs in terms of conceptual design.
  • 5.5Identify design limitations and determine approaches to overcome limitations.

6 Finalise cosmetic tattoo design.

  • 6.1Apply elements and principles of design to create cosmetic tattoo design.
  • 6.2Determine the cosmetic tattoo design using techniques from research and experimentation to meet design requirements.
  • 6.3Evaluate and respond to potential changes to the required techniques in order to meet the agreed design.
  • 6.4Refine and finalise the design based on client feedback.

Performance evidence

  • For six different clients with diverse purpose and design requirements:
  • determine purpose, main elements and design considerations in consultation with client
  • apply design elements and principles to generate designs for cosmetic tattoos
  • follow design process to reach solution on final design in agreement with client
  • for each design select tools, materials and techniques required to produce drawings
  • produce and refine six drawings that:
  • demonstrate basic techniques
  • communicate ideas

Knowledge evidence

  • elements and principles of design and their specific application to cosmetic tattooing:
  • anatomical morphology
  • form
  • structure
  • location
  • colour
  • texture
  • balance
  • cosmetic tattoo design process
  • design technology and techniques as related to cosmetic tattooing
  • aesthetics of design
  • characteristics of a design and how the elements interact with each other
  • design:
  • the subject matter or theme for the work
  • the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context
  • elements and principles of design structure
  • prototype form design work
  • criteria for selecting techniques:
  • consistency with the conceptual vision for the proposed design
  • personal affinity with the techniques
  • ease of application of the techniques
  • access to materials, tools, equipment and pigments for the techniques
  • design language and terminology relevant to cosmetic tattooing
  • drawing techniques and role in representing ideas
  • common drawing tools and materials
  • physical properties and capabilities of the materials, tools and equipment used in cosmetic tattooing
  • research options for design ideas:
  • books, journals, newspapers and catalogues
  • visiting exhibitions, museums
  • conducting material and technical experiments and tests
  • attending lectures and talks
  • approaching individuals with relevant expertise.

Foundation skills

  • Oral communication skills: use questioning and active listening to clarify task requirements, and seek and respond to feedback follow accepted practices and protocols in seeking advice and opinions from others.
  • Learning skills: identify and use feedback as a strategy to improve skills.
  • Interact with others: follows accepted practices and protocols in seeking advice and opinions from others.
  • Problem-solving skills: find solutions to technical challenges in order to realise planned design address and remedy previous areas of concern in cosmetic tattooing.
  • Initiative and enterprise skills: manage own decisions about appropriate techniques to represent ideas using experimentation and feedback.
  • Planning and organising skills: plan and undertake routine drawing tasks in consultation with others.
  • Get the work done: plans and undertakes routine drawing tasks in consultation with others makes routine decisions using defined circumstances to assist manages own decisions about appropriate techniques to represent ideas using experimentation and feedback.

Questions about assessing SHBBCOS003

What does an assessment tool for SHBBCOS003 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SHBBCOS003 needs to address all 79 unit components: 6 elements with 32 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 32 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 SHBBCOS003?

Auditori pulls the current release of SHBBCOS003 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 SHBBCOS003 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SHBBCOS003 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 SHBBCOS003, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
