What an assessment for SHBBSKT006 must cover

150 assessable components: 3 elements (25 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 113 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.

Questions about assessing SHBBSKT006

What does an assessment tool for SHBBSKT006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SHBBSKT006 needs to address all 150 unit components: 3 elements with 25 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 113 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 SHBBSKT006?

Auditori pulls the current release of SHBBSKT006 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 SHBBSKT006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
