What an assessment for MARH014 must cover

36 assessable components: 3 elements (8 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 22 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 Obtain weather information

  • 1.1Relevant weather forecasts are obtained from a range of sources and correctly interpreted
  • 1.2Weather conditions are observed and correctly interpreted according to established nautical and meteorological practice
  • 1.3Basic measurements of meteorological conditions are correctly made and recorded using established procedures
  • 1.4Relevant meteorological charts, publications and related documentation are obtained, used, updated, stored and maintained

2 Apply weather data to safe navigation

  • 2.1Weather condition hazards relevant to a proposed voyage are identified using relevant forecasts based on interpretation of meteorological observations, reports and measurements
  • 2.2Voyage is modified as required to take into account weather and water condition hazards according to established navigational practice and operational instructions

3 Maintain records of weather and oceanographic information

  • 3.1Meteorological measurements, observations, reports and forecasts are recorded and stored according to organisational procedures and regulatory requirements
  • 3.2Actions taken to maintain safety of navigation and to minimise risk to safety of vessel as a result of weather and oceanographic forecasts, are documented according to organisational procedures

Performance evidence

  • carrying out and interpreting weather observations
  • completing required records and documentation
  • reading, interpreting and applying weather information
  • recognising problems that may occur when interpreting and applying weather information to navigation and taking appropriate actions
  • selecting and using relevant instruments and equipment to measure meteorological conditions, including: - anemometers - barometers - thermometers
  • using weather forecasts to ensure safe navigation

Knowledge evidence

  • basic principles of, and procedures for, interpreting meteorological information
  • effects on navigation and vessel handling of wind, currents and bottom topography
  • meteorological parameters:
  • air temperature
  • atmospheric pressure
  • cloud
  • pressure gradient and isobar patterns
  • relative humidity
  • visibility (in conditions of fog, mist, rain and snow)
  • wind direction
  • wind strength
  • principles of weather forecasting using information obtained from observations, reports and instruments including:
  • air masses and cold and warm fronts
  • cloud classifications
  • cyclones, storms and gales
  • heat exchange process
  • pressure systems
  • sources and interpretation of weather data
  • tropical meteorology
  • vertical division of the atmosphere
  • procedures for applying forecast of likely weather and water conditions to the planning of a typical voyage
  • procedures to be followed during gale conditions and cyclones, including the means of securing a vessel in a cyclone mooring.

Questions about assessing MARH014

What does an assessment tool for MARH014 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARH014 needs to address all 36 unit components: 3 elements with 8 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 22 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 MARH014?

Auditori pulls the current release of MARH014 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 MARH014 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MARH014 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 MARH014, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
