What an assessment for AURETK003 must cover

31 assessable components: 3 elements (13 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 8 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 Plan to operate electrical test equipment

1.1Safety requirements are sourced and interpreted
1.2Task instruction is interpreted and vehicle electrical circuit to be worked on is identified
1.3Manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures for operating electrical test equipment are sourced and interpreted
1.4Potential hazards and risks associated with task are identified and reported to workplace supervisor
1.5Electrical test equipment is identified according to task instruction and manufacturer specifications

2 Test electrical circuits

2.1Electrical test equipment is checked prior to use according to manufacturer specifications and safety requirements
2.2Electrical test equipment is used to test vehicle electrical circuits according to manufacturer specifications and safety requirements
2.3Electrical test equipment readings are checked and compared with manufacturer specifications
2.4Electrical test equipment readings are recorded

3 Complete work processes

3.1Final inspection is made to ensure work meets task instruction and workplace standards, and vehicle or equipment is presented ready for use or storage according to workplace procedures
3.2Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored according to environmental requirements and workplace procedures
3.3Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures, or tagged and reported where necessary
3.4Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

correctly and safely operate electrical test equipment to test electrical circuits on a minimum of two different vehicles.

Knowledge evidence

key aspects of work health and safety (WHS) and, occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements when operating electrical test equipment, including: - procedures for the correct use of personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, ear protection and safety footwear - procedures for the correct use of tools - identification of electrical hazards - procedures for operating electrical test equipment
meaning of electrical terms, including: - voltage - amperage - watts - resistance

Questions about assessing AURETK003

What does an assessment tool for AURETK003 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETK003 needs to address all 31 unit components: 3 elements with 13 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 AURETK003?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURETK003 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 AURETK003 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURETK003 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 AURETK003, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
