What an assessment for AURVTN017 must cover

38 assessable components: 3 elements (13 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 15 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare to repair thermoplastic body panels and components

  • 1.1Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
  • 1.2Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or authorised agency’s specifications for thermoplastic panel and component repairs and relevant safety data sheets (SDS) are sourced and interpreted
  • 1.3Repair method is selected, and materials are checked for quality and prepared
  • 1.4Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
  • 1.5Tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), are identified and checked for serviceability
  • 1.6Work area is prepared and work is planned to minimise waste and use time efficiently

2 Carry out repair activities

  • 2.1Suitable thermoplastic welding, fusion techniques and adhesives, including adhesion promoter where applicable, are used to repair thermoplastic body panels and components according to safety and environmental requirements
  • 2.2Body filler that is formulated for the repaired thermoplastic is selected and used
  • 2.3Repairs are completed to pre-paint condition according to specifications of OEM or authorised agency and workplace procedures

3 Complete work processes

  • 3.1Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and thermoplastic body panels are presented ready for painting
  • 3.2Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored
  • 3.3Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures
  • 3.4Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

  • repair vehicle thermoplastic body panels on four different vehicles, including:
  • two vehicle exterior thermoplastic panel components with a tear or dent
  • one thermoplastic panel component incorporating a flange and contour with a split of 100 mm
  • one interior or ornamental plastic trim component with a split, tear or dent.

Knowledge evidence

  • work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to repairing vehicle thermoplastic body panels and components, including procedures for:
  • selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • using safety data sheets (SDS) for thermoplastics
  • manually handling body panels and components
  • using tools and equipment, including dust and fume collection equipment
  • environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials

Questions about assessing AURVTN017

What does an assessment tool for AURVTN017 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURVTN017 needs to address all 38 unit components: 3 elements with 13 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 15 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 AURVTN017?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURVTN017 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 AURVTN017 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURVTN017 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 AURVTN017, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
