What an assessment for AURETR130 must cover

33 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 9 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

diagnose and repair a fault in the starting system of two different vehicles, vessels or machinery in which the fault in each system is within one of the following: • vehicle starter motor and solenoid circuit • vehicle ignition switch to solenoid control circuit • vehicle battery to starter motor circuit • machinery starting system circuit
carry out a diagnostic test in the course of the above for at least one of the following faults: • high resistance in an input system • loose or damaged connectors or wiring • broken or worn solenoids

Knowledge evidence

testing electrical systems, including procedures for: • accessing electrical terminals and using test probes without damaging connectors, fuse holders or wiring • load testing starting systems • resistance, current flow and voltage drop checks of starting system circuits • solenoid test • field winding tests • armature tests, including using a growler • commutator tests • brushes and holder tests • overrunning clutch and pinion tests • flywheel ring gear tests • starter motor bench tester operation
repair procedures for starting systems, including: • tightening connections • replacing faulty or damaged cable connections • removing and replacing faulty or damaged components
post-repair testing procedures for starting systems, including: • DTC checking procedures • checking for electrical connector mating • static and dynamic performance tests of starting systems

Foundation skills

Learning: Locates required sources of information efficiently Develops a sequenced plan for a specific task
Reading: Organises and interprets technical information from workplace procedures, manufacturer procedures and manufacturer specifications Interprets text, symbols and wiring diagrams in information relating to electrical system testing and repair equipment from manufacturer specifications and workplace instructions and procedures
Oral communication: Clarifies instructions Obtains information from customers and supervisors
Numeracy: Matches starter motor types and part identification numbers to workplace instructions, vehicle, machinery and component part lists, and manufacturer specifications Interprets vehicle electrical measurements and readings Measures voltage, current and resistance and uses mathematical operations Calculates deviations from manufacturer specifications
Planning and organising: Plans own work requirements Prioritises actions to achieve required outcomes Ensures tasks are completed within workplace timeframes
Technology: Uses specialised diagnostic equipment

Questions about assessing AURETR130

What does an assessment tool for AURETR130 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETR130 needs to address all 33 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 2 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 AURETR130?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURETR130 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 AURETR130 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURETR130 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 AURETR130, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
