What an assessment for AURTTE008 must cover

46 assessable components: 6 elements (26 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 8 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.

6.2Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored according to environmental requirements and workplace procedures
6.3Tools and equipment are checked and stored in a condition ready for use according to workplace procedures, or tagged and reported where necessary
6.4Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

dismantle and assemble at least two different multi-cylinder four-stroke petrol engines.

Knowledge evidence

key aspects of work health and safety (WHS), occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental requirements, including: use of safety glasses, ear protection and safety footwear; use of engine dismantling and re-assembly equipment; collection and disposal of used engine lubricants and coolant.
types of engines and engine operating principles for: four and two-stroke engines; single and multi-cylinder configuration, including straight, vee and horizontally-opposed engine configurations; construction and operating principles of multi-cylinder four-stroke engine and functions of their major components.
functions of the lubricating system.
components of the lubricating system and their function, including: sump; oil pumps; oil filters; oil galleries.
functions of the cooling system.
components of the cooling system and their function, including: engine cooling galleries; radiators and hoses; thermostats.
types and applications of: seals; gaskets; bearings.
dismantling procedures for engines, including: bolt loosening sequences; procedures for noting component positions and order.
measurement and calculation methods for: piston to bore and connecting rod bearing clearance; swept volume; clearance volume; compression ratio and engine capacity.
reassembly procedures for engines, including: bolt tightening sequences and torque requirements; piston ring compression procedures; procedures for fitting pistons in bores in pairs.
work area clean-up and maintenance requirements.

Foundation skills

Learning skills: locate appropriate sources of vehicle engine information and engine dismantle and reassembly procedures.
Reading skills: select and interpret key information from manufacturer specifications, safety requirements and workplace procedures to safely dismantle and assemble a multi-cylinder four-stroke engine; select and interpret key information from environmental requirements and workplace procedures to ensure a clean and safe work site.
Writing skills: legibly and accurately fill out workplace documentation using correct industry terminology and conventions.
Oral communication skills: participate effectively in verbal exchanges using questioning and active listening to request, clarify and clearly convey information.
Numeracy skills: read and interpret numerical information in engine information; use specialist tools and measuring equipment correctly, including verniers, micrometers and torque wrenches, and report and record the results correctly using relevant mathematical symbols and conventions (e.g. mm for millimeters); use basic mathematical operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, to calculate clearances and ratios.
Planning and organising skills: plan own work requirements and prioritise actions to achieve required outcomes.
Self-management skills: recognise own limitations when selecting and using tools and equipment and seek timely advice.
Problem-solving skills: identify potential or actual hazards and take action to minimise risk; refer problems that cannot be readily resolved and seek assistance from workplace supervisor.

Questions about assessing AURTTE008

What does an assessment tool for AURTTE008 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURTTE008 needs to address all 46 unit components: 6 elements with 26 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 11 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 AURTTE008?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURTTE008 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 AURTTE008 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURTTE008 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 AURTTE008, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
