What an assessment for UEERA0009 must cover
73 assessable components: 3 elements (17 performance criteria), 15 performance evidence and 41 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.

- 2.3HVAC/R system performance and energy efficiency requirements and assessment methods are applied to the audit process
- 2.4HVAC/R apparatus assessment and tests are set up in accordance with established test methods and workplace procedures for each parameter being audited
- 2.5HVAC/R system assessment and tests are carried out methodically and results and required actions systematically noted
- 2.6Unexpected situations are dealt with safely in accordance with workplace procedures with the approval of an authorised person/s in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment
- 2.7Auditing is carried out without damage to systems, circuits, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices
3 Document auditing activities and results
- 3.1WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed
- 3.2Worksite is cleaned and made safe in accordance with workplace procedures
- 3.3Assessment and test results are evaluated, non-compliance issues identified, and appropriate actions determined and documented
- 3.4Assessment test results and recommendations on non-compliance issues are documented and reported to appropriate person/s in accordance with workplace procedures

Questions about assessing UEERA0009
What does an assessment tool for UEERA0009 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEERA0009 needs to address all 73 unit components: 3 elements with 17 performance criteria, 15 performance evidence requirements, 41 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 UEERA0009?
Auditori pulls the current release of UEERA0009 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 UEERA0009 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing UEERA0009 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 UEERA0009, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
