What an assessment for AURETK002 must cover
28 assessable components: 3 elements (12 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 4 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.

- 1.3Electrical test equipment is checked and calibrated according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
- 1.4Personal protective equipment (PPE) required for the work is selected and checked before use
- 1.5Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
- 1.6Electrical test equipment is used according to manufacturer specifications and safety requirements
- 1.7Electrical circuits are tested according to workplace procedures and without causing damage to systems and components
2 Service, maintain and store electrical test equipment
- 2.1Electrical test equipment is serviced, calibrated and maintained within scope of responsibility according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
- 2.2Calibration inspection schedules and procedures are determined to ensure reliable and accurate operation
- 2.3Damaged, faulty or inaccurate electrical test equipment is tagged and isolated for repair or replacement, and reported according to workplace procedures
3 Complete work processes
- 3.1Electrical test equipment is cleaned, checked and stored ready for use according to workplace procedures
- 3.2Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
Performance evidence
- use a test lamp to check for continuity, voltage supply and earth return in a basic electrical circuit
- use a multimeter to measure: • voltage, current and resistance in a basic electrical circuit • continuity between a control unit and sensor • voltage drop across an electrical resistive load
- use an inductive clamp to measure current flowing in a vehicle starting system
- gain the oscilloscope waveforms of two of the following engine sensors or actuator: • camshaft • crankshaft • knock • fuel injector
- service, maintain and store three different pieces of electrical test equipment
- identify and tag one faulty piece of electrical test equipment
Knowledge evidence
- work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to using and maintaining electrical test equipment in an automotive workplace, including procedures for: • selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE) • identifying hazards and controlling risks associated with: • working on high voltage ignition systems • wearing jewellery while working around high current wiring systems
- types, characteristics, uses, limitations and calibrating requirements of automotive electrical test equipment, including: • test lights, including resistive and light emitting diode (LED) • continuity testers • test probes, including those for testing voltage positive and negative status • voltmeters, ammeters and ohmmeters • digital multimeters • circuit load testers, including alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) clamp testers • oscilloscopes • databus test instruments
- testing electrical systems, including procedures for: • accessing electrical terminals and using test probes without damaging connectors, fuse holders or wiring • selecting test equipment • checking resistance, current flow and voltage drop of system circuits
- location and content of workplace procedures and manufacturer specifications, including: • basic maintenance procedures for automotive electrical test equipment • procedures for checking, identifying and isolating faulty equipment
Foundation skills
- Learning skills to:: locate appropriate sources of information efficiently.
- Reading skills to:: interpret requirements of safe operating procedures interpret text, symbols and basic electrical wiring diagrams in manufacturer specifications and electrical test equipment operating instructions interpret information on service tags identifying faulty electrical test equipment.
- Writing skills to:: legibly record electrical measurements taken when testing electrical circuits and components legibly and accurately enter information on service tags, and in electrical test equipment service and maintenance schedules.
- Oral communication skills to:: clarify instructions, confirm use, suitability and maintenance requirements of electrical test equipment, and report findings.
- Numeracy skills to:: measure voltage, current and resistance and use basic mathematical operations, including addition and subtraction, to calculate deviations from manufacturer specifications.
- Planning and organising skills to:: select and prepare appropriate electrical test equipment to ensure tasks are completed within workplace timeframes.

Questions about assessing AURETK002
What does an assessment tool for AURETK002 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETK002 needs to address all 28 unit components: 3 elements with 12 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 4 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 AURETK002?
Auditori pulls the current release of AURETK002 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 AURETK002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing AURETK002 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 AURETK002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
