What an assessment for AURETR042 must cover
51 assessable components: 5 elements (17 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 21 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.

Performance evidence
- Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in the unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
- remove, refit and operationally test four of the following systems on non controller area network databus (CAN-bus) circuits on different vehicles, vessels or machinery:
- headlight or tail-light assembly
- windscreen washer and wiper motor assembly
- external electric mirror assembly
- antenna, mobile phone or radio
- actuators, central door locking or window closure
Knowledge evidence
- Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
- work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to removing, refitting and operating electrical components following body repair activities, including procedures for:
- selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
- identifying hazards and controlling risks associated with wearing jewellery while working around high current wiring systems
- identification and function of electrical components, including:
- headlight assemblies
- tail-light assemblies
- side and rear vision mirrors
- windscreen washer and wiper motor assemblies
- door and window motor assemblies
- procedures for removing and replacing electrical components, including:

Questions about assessing AURETR042
What does an assessment tool for AURETR042 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETR042 needs to address all 51 unit components: 5 elements with 17 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 21 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 AURETR042?
Auditori pulls the current release of AURETR042 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 AURETR042 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing AURETR042 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 AURETR042, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
