What an assessment for AURVTW101 must cover

34 assessable components: 4 elements (14 performance criteria), 5 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Plan and prepare to weld component

1.1Identify job requirements from workplace instructions
1.2Obtain and interpret welding information
1.3Identify hazards associated with the work, assess potential risks and implement control measures in line with workplace policies and procedures
1.4Identify welding electrodes, weld size, type and sequence, and quantity of materials required according to workplace procedures
1.5Identify tools and equipment required for welding and establish serviceability according to workplace procedures

2 Weld materials using MMAW

2.1Set up and operate welding equipment according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, workplace health and safety and environmental requirements
2.2Identify distortion prevention measures and adjust as required
2.3Carry out welding test runs according to workplace procedures
2.4Weld materials using MMAW process according to workplace procedures and required specifications

3 Check welds

3.1Carry out non-destructive inspection and confirm weld quality and specifications
3.2Identify weld defects and prepare for re-welding as required, notifying appropriate personnel

4 Complete work processes

4.1Conduct final inspection according to workplace procedures and confirm component is ready for use
4.2Clear work area and dispose of or recycle materials according to workplace procedures

Questions about assessing AURVTW101

What does an assessment tool for AURVTW101 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURVTW101 needs to address all 34 unit components: 4 elements with 14 performance criteria, 5 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 AURVTW101?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURVTW101 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 AURVTW101 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURVTW101 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 AURVTW101, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
