What an assessment for AURETH011 must cover

42 assessable components: 4 elements (17 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 15 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 8 foundation skills. 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 Prepare to depower and reinitialise HEV and PHEV

  • 1.1Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
  • 1.2Workplace procedures and manufacturer specifications are accessed and interpreted
  • 1.3Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed according to safety requirements and AS 5732 Electric vehicle operations - Maintenance and repair
  • 1.4Tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
  • 1.5Vehicle is identified with warning tags or sign to indicate potential hazards

2 Deactivate vehicle RESS

  • 2.1SELV supply is located and disconnected according to manufacturer specifications
  • 2.2RESS service plug or manual service disconnect is located and removed to depower vehicle HV RESS according to manufacturer specifications
  • 2.3Vehicle is stabilised and checked for zero residual voltage according to manufacturer procedures
  • 2.4RESS service plug or manual service disconnect is secured and retained to prevent refitting by third party

3 Reinitialise vehicle RESS

  • 3.1SELV and RESS service plug or manual service disconnect are reconnected in the correct order and vehicle is reactivated
  • 3.2Diagnostic and testing equipment is used to check and recalibrate subsystems affected by depower process as required
  • 3.3RESS and vehicle subsystems are checked for correct operation
  • 3.4Post-reactivation faults are reported according to workplace procedures

4 Complete work processes

  • 4.1Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and vehicle is presented ready for use
  • 4.2Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
  • 4.3Tools and equipment are checked and stored and any faulty electrical equipment is identified, tagged and isolated according to workplace procedures
  • 4.4Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

  • safely depower the rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) and separated extra low voltage (SELV) of two different hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and stabilise the vehicles ensuring that no residual high voltage (HV) is measured
  • safely reinitialise each HEV’s or PHEV’s RESS and SELV system and confirm correct vehicle operation

Knowledge evidence

  • work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to depowering and reinitialising the RESS in HEVs or PHEVs, including procedures for:
  • identifying hazards and controlling risks associated with:
  • working with high voltages on HEV and PHEV electrical systems
  • wearing jewellery while working around high electrical currents
  • determining appropriate procedures for minimising risk associated with hazards, including applying electrical safety precautions when:
  • using personal protective equipment (PPE), including electrical safety gloves with 1000 volt rating and Australian standards rated HV insulating mat
  • identifying and using firefighting equipment as appropriate
  • using the ‘one hand’ rule
  • following live system warning tags and signs
  • depowering vehicle
  • isolating HV RESS electrical supply
  • stabilising vehicle electrical system
  • requirements of AS 5732 Electric vehicle operations - Maintenance and repair
  • operating principles of RESS and SELV electrical systems relevant to a range of HEVs and PHEVs
  • application, purpose and operation of a range of vehicle RESS depowering and repowering methods.

Foundation skills

  • Learning skills: locate appropriate sources of information efficiently.
  • Reading skills: interpret text, symbols and diagrams in depowering and reinitialising information in manufacturer specifications, and workplace instructions and procedures.
  • Writing skills: legibly and accurately fill out workplace documentation when reporting diagnostic findings, making repair recommendations, and recording parts and material used.
  • Oral communication skills: listen to workplace instructions and ask questions to clarify job requirements; participate in verbal exchanges when depowering and reinitialising HEVs and PHEVs.
  • Numeracy skills: match electrical components and part identification numbers to workplace instructions, vehicle and component part lists, and manufacturer specifications; interpret vehicle electrical measurements and readings on digital and analogue gauges; interpret measurements of residual voltage and high voltages relating to HEVs and PHEVs.
  • Planning and organising skills: plan own work requirements and prioritise actions to achieve required outcomes and ensure tasks are completed within workplace timeframes.
  • Problem solving skills: identify faults in reinitialising process that need to be reported.
  • Technology skills: use specialised tools.

Questions about assessing AURETH011

What does an assessment tool for AURETH011 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETH011 needs to address all 42 unit components: 4 elements with 17 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 15 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 AURETH011?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURETH011 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 AURETH011 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURETH011 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 AURETH011, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
