What an assessment for MEM18111 must cover

34 assessable components: 4 elements (15 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 14 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 Determine job requirements

1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
1.4Identify job requirements from specifications

2 Prepare inspection areas for basic magnetic particle testing

2.1Clean inspection areas and prepare for testing using appropriate procedures and materials
2.2Carry out preparation processes in accordance with the relevant procedures
2.3Assess inspection areas visually and identify obvious discontinuities

3 Perform basic tests

3.1Identify nominated ‘yoke’ or ‘bench’ magnetic particle testing procedure from SOPs

Questions about assessing MEM18111

What does an assessment tool for MEM18111 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM18111 needs to address all 34 unit components: 4 elements with 15 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 14 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 MEM18111?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM18111 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 MEM18111 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM18111 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 MEM18111, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
