2 Install engine

2.1Engine, controls and instruments are checked for correct application and any damage
2.2Engine assembly is installed according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems
2.3Installed engine is tested for correct operation and required adjustments are made according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements

3 Install engine controls

3.1Engine controls are installed according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems
3.2Installed controls are tested for correct operation and required adjustments are made according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements

4 Install engine instruments and commission engine, controls and instruments

4.1Engine instruments are installed according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems

Questions about assessing AURRTE008

What does an assessment tool for AURRTE008 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURRTE008 needs to address all 33 unit components: 5 elements with 17 performance criteria, 1 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 AURRTE008?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURRTE008 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 AURRTE008 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURRTE008 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 AURRTE008, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
