What an assessment for UETDRDS018 must cover
53 assessable components: 3 elements (13 performance criteria), 23 performance evidence and 17 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.

- 1.5Work is prioritised and sequenced for completion in accordance with workplace requirements
2 Design distribution protection systems
- 2.1Site inspection is performed where required
- 2.2Distribution protection systems are designed in accordance with workplace requirements
- 2.3Systems modelling is used to evaluate and determine best outcomes in accordance with workplace requirements

- 2.5Health and safety risks are identified and minimised or eliminated by using safety and control measures in the design process
- 2.6Quality checks of work are undertaken in accordance with workplace requirements
3 Complete work and documentation
- 3.1Completed work is checked against project and workplace requirements
- 3.2Work records, reports and documentation are completed, approved and appropriate personnel notified in accordance with workplace requirements

Questions about assessing UETDRDS018
What does an assessment tool for UETDRDS018 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UETDRDS018 needs to address all 53 unit components: 3 elements with 13 performance criteria, 23 performance evidence requirements, 17 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 UETDRDS018?
Auditori pulls the current release of UETDRDS018 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 UETDRDS018 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing UETDRDS018 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 UETDRDS018, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
