• 1.4Verify equipment operation/performance through test procedures to ensure correct operation and to confirm identified problems from other sources
• 1.5Correct operational variations through calibration and adjustment
• 1.6Document operational variations

2 Test/repair equipment

• 2.1Verify equipment is operating correctly and document test results
• 2.2Apply appropriate troubleshooting techniques to determine the cause of operational faults
• 2.3Rectify operational faults through the application of relevant maintenance procedures
• 2.4Isolate, remove and dispose of faulty equipment, and install new equipment
• 2.5Verify the performance of newly installed equipment to ensure it meets required operational parameters and conditions
• 2.6Record all repairs/installations to provide historical records of the condition of system equipment

3 Recommission systems and equipment

• 3.1Recommission repaired/installed equipment to online operation in the correct sequence at the required operational parameters
• 3.2Monitor or activate systems to ensure they are operating both safely and effectively
• 3.3Close out permit to work and restore site/system to normal operation

4 Compile and analyse reports

• 4.1Collect information concerning deviations/repaired equipment and put into accepted reporting format

What does an assessment tool for PMASUP341 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMASUP341 needs to address all 32 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 PMASUP341?

Auditori pulls the current release of PMASUP341 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 PMASUP341 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing PMASUP341 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 PMASUP341, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
