What an assessment for AURETR018 must cover

37 assessable components: 5 elements (22 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 4 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare to dismantle starter motor

1.1Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
1.2Dismantling information is sourced and interpreted
1.3Dismantling options are analysed and those most appropriate to the circumstances are selected
1.4Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
1.5Dismantling tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability

2 Dismantle and evaluate starter motor and components

2.1Starter motor is dismantled in a logical sequence according to manufacturer and workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing unnecessary damage to components or systems
2.2Components are cleaned for evaluation according to workplace procedures and safety and environmental requirements
2.3Components are measured and compared with manufacturer specifications and serviceability is determined
2.4Component repair method is determined
2.5Unserviceable parts are identified and replacement parts sourced

3 Carry out overhaul

3.1Overhaul information is sourced and interpreted
3.2Overhaul options are analysed and those most appropriate to the circumstances are selected
3.3Overhaul tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
3.4Components are machined, repaired and replaced as required, and adjustments are carried out according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems

4 Assemble starter motor and components

4.1Starter motor is assembled according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
4.2Tolerances and clearances are measured against manufacturer specifications and necessary adjustments are made
4.3Assembly of starter motor is completed within workplace timeframes and without causing damage to other components or systems
4.4Post-assembly testing is carried out according to workplace procedures and safety and environmental requirements, and any problems detected as having been introduced during the assembly process are rectified

5 Complete work processes

5.1Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and starter motor is presented ready for use or storage
5.2Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
5.3Tools and equipment are checked and stored, and any faulty electrical equipment is identified, tagged and isolated according to workplace procedures
5.4Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

overhaul the starting system motors of three different vehicles, vessels or machinery, which must include:
one direct drive starter motor
one of the following solenoid pre-engaged types of starter motors: direct drive, reduction drive
one stop-start starter motor

Knowledge evidence

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to overhauling starting system motor, including procedures for: using specialised tools and equipment; using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE); identifying hazards and controlling risks associated with wearing jewellery while working around high current wiring systems
environmental requirements, including procedures: found in safety data sheets (SDS) relating to toxic and corrosive substances; for disposing of replaced components
types, characteristics and operating principles of vehicle, vessel or machinery starting system motors, including starter motors that are direct drive and solenoid pre-engaged types
starting system overhaul procedures, including: methods for cleaning and preparing starting system motors for overhaul; starting system motor dismantling procedures; starting system motor inspection, measuring and evaluation procedures, including methods for measuring and calculating tolerances and clearances; starting system motor repair and adjustment procedures, including: brushes to commutator alignment; motor drive shaft to planetary gear assembly; solenoid shift lever to clutch drive assembly; procedures for tolerance measuring and calculating and adjusting components; post-overhaul bench testing procedures, including: use of load simulator load tester for complete system analysis; analysis of system operation while using gauges, current clamps, electrical test equipment, scan tools, oscilloscopes and other industry-relevant test equipment; post-overhaul testing procedures of starting system motors in vehicles, vessels or machinery, including: accessing and interpreting diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs); DTC clearing procedures; checking for electrical connector mating; checking for voltage drop and starting system motor correct current draw

Foundation skills

Learning skills: locate sources of information relevant to starting system motor efficiently.
Reading skills: interpret and assess information from manufacturer and workshop literature when seeking starting system motor specifications and procedures.
Writing skills: legibly and accurately fill out workplace documentation when reporting diagnostic findings, making repair recommendations, and recording parts and material used.
Oral communication skills: clarify instructions, report evaluation findings and make overhaul recommendations.
Numeracy skills: measure starting system motor components and use basic mathematical operations, including addition and subtraction, to calculate tolerances and deviations from manufacturer specifications.
Planning and organising skills: plan own work requirements and prioritise and sequence actions to achieve required outcomes and ensure tasks are completed within workplace timeframes.
Technology skills: use precision measuring equipment, such as vernier calipers and micrometers use specialised starting system motor overhaul equipment.

Questions about assessing AURETR018

What does an assessment tool for AURETR018 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETR018 needs to address all 37 unit components: 5 elements with 22 performance criteria, 4 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 AURETR018?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURETR018 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 AURETR018 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURETR018 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 AURETR018, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
