What an assessment for AURETR014 must cover

29 assessable components: 4 elements (14 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 8 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare to inspect, test and service starting system

1.1Job requirements are determined according to workplace instructions
1.2Inspection, testing and servicing procedures are accessed and interpreted
1.3Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are reported
1.4Tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability

2 Inspect and test system

2.1System and battery are inspected and tested according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements
2.2Starting circuit is tested according to workplace procedures and without causing damage to components or systems
2.3Inspection results are compared with manufacturer specifications
2.4Inspection findings are reported according to workplace procedures, including recommendations for required repairs or adjustments

3 Service system

3.1System is serviced according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems
3.2Post-service testing is carried out to confirm starting system is operating to manufacturer specifications and that no other problems are present

4 Complete work processes

4.1Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and vehicle, vessel or machinery is presented ready for use
4.2Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recycle material is collected
4.3Tools and equipment are checked and stored and any faulty electrical equipment is identified, tagged and isolated according to workplace procedures
4.4Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

inspect, test and service three different vehicle, vessel or machinery starting systems, in which the work must involve checking: - starter motor and solenoid - ignition switch to starter control circuit - battery to starter motor wiring.

Knowledge evidence

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to inspecting, testing and servicing starting systems, including procedures for: - selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE), including clothing, and eye and hand protection - working safely with high current electrical systems
environmental requirements, including procedures: - found in safety data sheets (SDS) relating to toxic and corrosive substances - for recycling and disposing of replaced starting system components
identification and function of starting system components, including: - starter motor - starter solenoid - starter control circuits, including: - key ignition - push button start - proximity transponder - automatic stop and start systems - immobiliser - interlocks
basic operating principles of starting systems, including: - changing electrical energy to mechanical energy - mechanical advantage between ring gear and flywheel - basic circuit operation
inspection procedures for starting systems, including visual, aural and functional assessments of: - component damage and wear - component corrosion
testing procedures for starting systems, including: - accessing electrical terminals and using test probes without damaging connectors, fuse holders or wiring - measuring starting system current draw
servicing procedures for starting systems, including cleaning and tightening terminals
post-service testing procedures, including confirming that starting system is operating to manufacturer specifications.

Foundation skills

Learning skills: locate starting system information efficiently.
Reading skills: interpret information from manufacturer and workshop literature when seeking starting system service procedures and specifications.
Writing skills: legibly and accurately complete workplace documentation when reporting inspection findings, making recommendations, and recording parts and material used.
Oral communication skills: clarify instructions and report inspection findings to appropriate personnel.
Numeracy skills: match starting system types and identification numbers to workplace instructions and manufacturer specifications; compare battery cold cranking amps (CCA) with vehicle starting system specifications.
Technology skills: use specialised tools and equipment, including load testers, inductive ammeters and multimeters.

Questions about assessing AURETR014

What does an assessment tool for AURETR014 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETR014 needs to address all 29 unit components: 4 elements with 14 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 8 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 AURETR014?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURETR014 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 AURETR014 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURETR014 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 AURETR014, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
