What an assessment for MARK011 must cover
46 assessable components: 4 elements (17 performance criteria), 14 performance evidence and 15 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 Manoeuvre ship in normal operations
- 1.1Ship heading is maintained within acceptable limits to meet the requirements of the operating situation
- 1.2Alterations of heading and power are smooth and controlled
- 1.3Suitable mode of steering is selected for the manoeuvre to meet the requirements of the operating situation
- 1.4Constant rate of turn techniques are used to achieve constant radius turns during manoeuvres
- 1.5Safe operating limits of ship propulsion, steering and power systems are not exceeded in normal manoeuvres
2 Make adjustments to ship course and speed to maintain safe navigation
- 2.1Effects of operational environment on ship performance are evaluated at regular intervals
- 2.2Implications of the changed operational environment on ship handling are assessed
- 2.3Appropriate alterations to ship heading and power are made in response to the assessment of the operational environment
3 Manoeuvre ship during adverse weather
- 3.1Impending adverse weather conditions are identified and implications for ship operations are evaluated
- 3.2Preparations are made to minimise risk and damage to ship and personnel
- 3.3Communications are made with engine room to ensure main engines are readied for manoeuvring
- 3.4Ship heading and power is maintained in response to adverse weather and sea conditions
4 Manoeuvre ship in emergencies
- 4.1Nature of emergency is established and initial action is taken
- 4.2Risk to the ship and the safety of persons onboard is assessed
- 4.3Appropriate manoeuvres are made during the emergency to maintain the safety of the ship
- 4.4Propulsion equipment is used and monitored to assist in completing actions safely
- 4.5Safe operating limits of propulsion and steering equipment are not exceeded

Questions about assessing MARK011
What does an assessment tool for MARK011 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARK011 needs to address all 46 unit components: 4 elements with 17 performance criteria, 14 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 MARK011?
Auditori pulls the current release of MARK011 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 MARK011 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MARK011 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 MARK011, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
