What an assessment for MEASTR0018 must cover

38 assessable components: 4 elements (11 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 18 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 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 Assess requirements for NDT

  • 1.1Assess the inspection area for testing and identify all possible failure sites using metallurgical analysis
  • 1.2Collect, analyse and interpret information relevant to test development from available sources using accepted techniques
  • 1.4Determine test requirements from maintenance documentation, standards and specifications

2 Evaluate NDT techniques and procedures

  • 2.1Specify test methods, techniques and procedures for specific NDT tasks in accordance with standard enterprise procedures
  • 2.2Interpret codes, standards, specifications and procedures to determine testing procedure to be used to meet testing requirements
  • 2.3Develop test procedures in accordance with established techniques and metallurgical principles

3 Validate and confirm NDT tasks

  • 3.1Validate general and specific test procedures in accordance with established techniques
  • 3.2Interpret inspection results in accordance with existing codes, standards and specifications

4 Evaluate NDT test procedures

  • 4.1Evaluate procedures are evaluated for effectiveness
  • 4.2Document and report on evaluation results in accordance with standard enterprise procedures
  • 4.3Make changes or amendments to NDT procedures and distribute in accordance with standard enterprise procedures

Performance evidence

  • evaluate aircraft non-destructive tests (NDT) from the list below three times: penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing, eddy current testing, ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing
  • conduct metallurgical assessment of inspection areas and identify potential failure sites and modes to inform techniques and procedures
  • designate most appropriate method, technique or procedure
  • apply safety procedures, standard operating procedures and legislative requirements to all work
  • read, interpret and apply relevant testing standards
  • read and interpret applied relative conformance standards.

Knowledge evidence

  • definitions of structural terms, including safe life, damage tolerant, failsafe, stress, strain, shear and cycles
  • inspection requirements for metal and composite structure, including: ageing aircraft inspection requirements, safe life structure, damage tolerant structure, fail safe structure
  • potential causes of structural failure
  • metallurgical analysis to assess inspection areas and potential failure sites and modes
  • NDT methods, techniques and procedures
  • meaning and validity of relevant codes, standards, specifications and procedures
  • regulatory requirements of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) for using NDT for inspection of aircraft structure and components
  • test procedures for testing techniques and specimens
  • validation processes
  • process for approval of procedures
  • process for documentation/distribution of procedures
  • evaluation procedures
  • process for documentation of evaluation results
  • process for amending tests and distributing amendments
  • Australian Standards, National Occupational Health and Safety Council (NOHSC) guides, and state and territory regulatory codes of practice and standards, including: Defence Aviation Safety Authority (DASA) AAP7002.053 Technical airworthiness Management Manual, Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASR), overseas airworthiness regulators, such as the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) and Transport Canada, AS 3669-–2006 Non-destructive testing – Qualification and approval of personnel – Aerospace, NAS410 Revision 2 Certification and qualification of non-destructive testing personnel (February 2003), BS EN 4179:2009 Aerospace series. Qualification and approval of personnel for non-destructive testing, BS EN 473:2008 Non-destructive testing. Qualification and certification of NDT personnel. General principles, ISO 9712:2005 Non-destructive testing – Qualification and certification of personnel, applicable materials and equipment specifications
  • use and application of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • safe work practices and procedures
  • relevant hazards and control measures related to the competency.

Foundation skills

Questions about assessing MEASTR0018

What does an assessment tool for MEASTR0018 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEASTR0018 needs to address all 38 unit components: 4 elements with 11 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 MEASTR0018?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEASTR0018 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 MEASTR0018 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEASTR0018 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 MEASTR0018, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
