What an assessment for AURETR007 must cover
20 assessable components: 3 elements (8 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 7 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 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 Identify relevant information of electrical circuit and wiring system construction and operation in work activities
- 1.1Components of circuit are identified during testing and repair activities
- 1.2Functions of circuit components are identified during testing and repair activities
- 1.3Relationships between circuit components, including the effects of testing and repair activities on other electrical circuits, are identified during repair activities
2 Apply relevant information of electrical circuit and wiring system construction and operation in work activities
- 2.1Knowledge of electrical circuit construction and operation is used during testing or repair activities to carry out work according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
- 2.2Basic electrical principles are used during fault finding procedures
- 2.3Knowledge of basic testing procedures is used when using electrical test equipment

Questions about assessing AURETR007
What does an assessment tool for AURETR007 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETR007 needs to address all 20 unit components: 3 elements with 8 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 AURETR007?
Auditori pulls the current release of AURETR007 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 AURETR007 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing AURETR007 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 AURETR007, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
