What an assessment for MEM24033 must cover

96 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 12 performance evidence and 68 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 Establish job requirements

1.1Comply with relevant WHS and regulatory requirements, standards, codes of practice and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for thermography testing
1.2Identify job requirements from customer specifications, job sheets or work instructions

2 Prepare for thermographic testing

2.1Liaise with client to explain testing requirements and schedule tests
2.2Use established safe work practices and personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
2.3Identify test material inspection area determine if special access requirements appropriate for the NDT test need to be communicated to the client
2.4Clean and prepare inspection areas for testing using appropriate procedures
2.5Check and prepare all test equipment in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and job specification

3 Perform thermographic testing

3.1Select the most appropriate thermographic test for the material and/or application
3.2Set up test equipment in accordance with relevant standards and job specifications
3.3Carry out thermographic test in accordance with relevant standards and specifications
3.4Check thermographic testing equipment for defects, and maintain and store in accordance with procedures and manufacturer instructions

4 Interpret and report the results of thermographic tests

4.1Review conduct of the test and confirm test procedures were applied correctly
4.2Process thermographic images in accordance with standards and codes and job specifications
4.3Determine material condition and defects according to standards and codes and job specification acceptance criteria
4.4Report test results in accordance with enterprise procedures, accepted industry practices and job specifications

Questions about assessing MEM24033

What does an assessment tool for MEM24033 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM24033 needs to address all 96 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 12 performance evidence requirements, 68 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 MEM24033?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM24033 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 MEM24033 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM24033 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 MEM24033, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
