What an assessment for MARE003 must cover
37 assessable components: 2 elements (11 performance criteria), 14 performance evidence and 12 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 Prepare to communicate with others
- 1.1Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures are followed
- 1.2Radios including portable radios and other communication equipment are checked prior to mooring and unmooring in accordance with workplace procedures
- 1.3Batteries are checked to confirm they are operational and fully charged in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications
- 1.4Radios and portable radios are set to operate on channels required for mooring and unmooring and confirmed as functioning correctly in accordance with workplace procedures and manufacturers’ specifications
- 1.5Workplace procedures and risk assessments are identified and accessed as required
- 1.6Faulty equipment is reported, tagged out and replaced following workplace procedures
2 Communicate with others
- 2.1Methods used to communicate with crews on vessels are in accordance with workplace procedures and international hand signals
- 2.2Clear and concise communication is used, and appropriate action is taken to confirm others have interpreted the communication correctly
- 2.3Radio communication is conducted in accordance with workplace procedures and Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) protocols
- 2.4Safety concerns and risks are promptly and clearly communicated to pilot and mooring team prior to and during, mooring operations

Questions about assessing MARE003
What does an assessment tool for MARE003 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARE003 needs to address all 37 unit components: 2 elements with 11 performance criteria, 14 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 MARE003?
Auditori pulls the current release of MARE003 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 MARE003 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MARE003 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 MARE003, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
