What an assessment for MARC035 must cover
35 assessable components: 4 elements (17 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements. 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 Operate electrical systems and equipment
- 1.1Routine pre-operational checks are carried out on electrical systems and equipment according to manufacturer specifications
- 1.2Systems and equipment are operated according to manufacturer specifications
- 1.3Faults are identified and appropriate action is taken to rectify them
- 1.4Faults are reported and logged promptly and accurately to appropriate personnel
2 Carry out routine maintenance on electrical systems and equipment
- 2.1Tasks are planned and sequenced in conjunction with others involved in or affected by maintenance work
- 2.2Tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
- 2.3Components to be maintained are isolated
- 2.4Systems are tested and test results are compared with manufacturer specifications
- 2.5Maintenance tasks are carried out to specifications
- 2.6Unserviceable components are tagged according to organisational procedures and appropriate personnel are notified
3 Isolate faulty components for repair
- 3.1Faulty items or components are isolated according to workplace procedures
- 3.2Serviceable items are fitted according to manufacturer specifications
- 3.3Operational checks are carried out on equipment or system to ensure compliance with manufacturer specifications
4 Clean up and complete documentation
- 4.1Work area is cleared and cleaned
- 4.2Materials are disposed of or recycled according to legislative and workplace requirements
- 4.3Tools and equipment are cleaned, checked and stored according to workplace procedures
- 4.4Maintenance report is completed according to workplace procedures
Performance evidence
- completing maintenance or fault reports in accordance with vessel workplace procedures
- connecting and disconnecting shore power including: - single phase - three phase - changing incoming phase rotation using on-board switching equipment
- implementing safe and environmentally responsible work practices in testing and maintenance activities including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
- locating, interpreting and applying manufacturer specifications for electrical systems and equipment
- operating electrical systems and conducting operator preventive maintenance according to manufacturer recommendations, regulations and workplace procedures to ensure safe operation
- recognising and rectifying electrical system faults and, where necessary, taking steps to make them immediately safe, including: - battery faults - failure of alternators - failure of starter motors - performing isolation, lock out or tag out procedures - replacing fuses - testing battery voltage and specific gravity - testing charging system voltage output - topping up battery electrolyte levels
- selecting and using appropriate processes, tools and equipment
Knowledge evidence
- basic care and fault recognition of electrical systems and equipment
- batteries: - care and maintenance - hazards - methods of connecting batteries - types
- charging systems: - alarms or indicators - regulators
- extra low and low voltage electrical systems including: - basic care - extra low voltage (ELV) systems are those not exceeding 50 Volts alternating current (AC) or 120 Volts direct current (DC) - low voltage systems are those not exceeding 1,000 Volts AC or 1,500 Volts DC - motors and common equipment - relationship between Voltage, Amperage and Power - switchboards and cables
- how to recognise and rectify electrical system faults and, where necessary, steps to make them immediately safe, including: - battery faults - failure of alternators - failure of starter motors - faults with shore power connections including phase rotations using on-board switching equipment - blown fuses - tripping circuit breakers
- protective devices on switchboards including: - selection of correct capacity - use of fuses and circuit breakers
- relevant state/territory training and qualification requirements for carrying out installation, maintenance and/or repair of electrical systems and equipment
- reporting and recording of faults and maintenance workplace procedures
- shore power connection includes: - single phase - three phase - changing incoming phase rotation using on-board switching equipment
- starter motors, alternators and associated equipment: - maintenance - operation
- work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and work practices

Questions about assessing MARC035
What does an assessment tool for MARC035 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARC035 needs to address all 35 unit components: 4 elements with 17 performance criteria, 7 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 MARC035?
Auditori pulls the current release of MARC035 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 MARC035 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MARC035 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 MARC035, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
