What an assessment for TLIW2028 must cover
18 assessable components: 3 elements (7 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 6 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 components and work stations of ballast cleaning machines
- 1.1Ballast cleaning machine components and individual work stations are identified
- 1.2Purpose of identified components and individual work stations is explained
- 1.3Associated hazards of each component and appropriate control methods are identified
2 Identify ballast cleaning functions
- 2.1Purposes of ballast cleaning are identified
- 2.2Method is identified by which the machine completes ballast cleaning operations in accordance with network owner’s standards
3 Identify hazards and risks associated with ballast cleaning operations
- 3.1Environmental hazards are identified
- 3.2Potential risks to the rail infrastructure are identified
Performance evidence
- anticipating appropriate numeric functions for using a ballast cleaner
- anticipating problems, faults and malfunctions that may occur in accordance with organisational procedures
- applying relevant workplace procedures
- identifying job hazards and required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards
- working systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to equipment in accordance with organisational procedures
Knowledge evidence
- ballast profile rail network standards
- functions of ballast
- hazards that may exist when cleaning ballast and ways of controlling the risks involved
- problems that may occur when cleaning ballast and action that can be taken to resolve and report them
- relevant rail safety, work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental procedures and regulations
- workplace procedures for using a ballast cleaning machine

Questions about assessing TLIW2028
What does an assessment tool for TLIW2028 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for TLIW2028 needs to address all 18 unit components: 3 elements with 7 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 TLIW2028?
Auditori pulls the current release of TLIW2028 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 TLIW2028 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing TLIW2028 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 TLIW2028, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
