What an assessment for AURETH012 must cover

34 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 9 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 service and maintain electrical components in HEVs and PHEVs

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

2 Test electrical systems and components

2.1Diagnostic equipment is used to retrieve system parameters and information
2.2HEV or PHEV systems and components are tested for electrical efficiency according to manufacturer specifications
2.3Electrical circuits are tested according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems
2.4Faults in HEV or PHEV electrical systems and components are identified

3 Service and maintain electrical systems and components

3.1Problems associated with performance of electrical systems and components are identified, and appropriate corrective action is taken
3.2Faults within electrical systems and components are identified and required corrective action is taken or reported according to workplace procedures
3.3Components are repaired, replaced and adjusted according to manufacturer and component specifications and workplace procedures
3.4Post-service testing is carried out to ensure correct and safe operation of HEV and PHEV, any reported problems are resolved, and no other problems are present

4 Complete work processes

4.1Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and vehicle or equipment 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 test, service and maintain two different hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).

Knowledge evidence

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to servicing and maintaining HEV and PHEV electrical components, 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 high voltage (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 rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) electrical supply; stabilising vehicle electrical system
requirements of AS 5732 Electric vehicle operations - Maintenance and repair
key electrical components of HEVs and PHEVs and their functions
RESS battery construction, including: battery internal resistance; battery types; terminal corrosion; terminal resistance
key components of RESS theory, including: cell failure theory; charging characteristics; open circuit cells; reverse polarisation; series cell configuration; strapping and layout
different types of HEVs and PHEVs, including: series, parallel and series parallel; strong, mid or weak hybrid systems
operating principles of RESS and battery management system (BMS)
key characteristics of HV battery charger and direct current (DC) to DC converter
operating principles of power distribution unit (PDU)

Foundation skills

Learning skills: locate appropriate sources of information efficiently.
Reading skills: interpret text, symbols and diagrams in testing, servicing and maintenance information in manufacturer specifications, and workplace instructions and procedures.
Writing skills: legibly and accurately fill out workplace documentation when servicing and maintaining electrical components in HEVs or PHEVs.
Oral communication skills: ask questions to clarify workplace instructions; participate in verbal exchanges to report faults, and service and maintenance findings, and make required repair recommendations.
Numeracy skills: match materials and component part numbers to workplace instructions, component part lists, and manufacturer specifications; interpret measurements of voltage, current and resistance relating to electrical circuits; measure components to determine compliance with manufacturer specifications.
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 hazards and risks and take action to minimise them.
Technology skills: use specialised tools.

Questions about assessing AURETH012

What does an assessment tool for AURETH012 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETH012 needs to address all 34 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 AURETH012?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURETH012 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 AURETH012 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURETH012 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 AURETH012, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
