What an assessment for AURETR009 must cover

29 assessable components: 3 elements (13 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 7 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 install, lighting and wiring system

1.1Job requirements are determined according to workplace instructions
1.2Manufacturer specifications and installation fitting instructions are accessed and interpreted
1.3Installation options are analysed and those most appropriate to the circumstances are selected
1.4Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
1.5Tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability

2 Install and test system

2.1Lighting and wiring system and components are checked for correct application and damage
2.2Lighting and wiring system is installed according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements, and without causing damage to components or other systems
2.3Installed system and components are tested for correct operation according to workplace procedures and manufacturer specifications
2.4Post-installation testing of other electrical systems is carried out according to workplace procedures to confirm correct operation, and that any problems detected as having been introduced during installation process are rectified

3 Complete work processes

3.1Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and vehicle, vessel or machinery is presented ready for use
3.2Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
3.3Tools and equipment are checked and stored and any faulty electrical equipment is identified, tagged and isolated according to workplace procedures
3.4Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in the unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills: install two of the following low voltage (LV) lighting and wiring systems in non controller area network databus (CAN-bus) systems in two different vehicles, vessels or machinery: trailer lights and wiring harness; driving lights and wiring harness; side clearance lamp; high-mount rear brake lamp; ascent strip light emitting diode (LED) lamp; filament lamp to LED lamp replacement.

Knowledge evidence

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to installing vehicle lighting and wiring systems, including procedures for: using specialised tools and equipment; selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE); identifying hazards and controlling risks associated with wearing jewellery while working around high current wiring systems
LV direct current (DC) lighting and wiring systems of the following: trailer lights and wiring harnesses; driving lights and wiring harnesses; side clearance lamps; high-mount rear brake lamps; ascent strip LED lamps
procedures for installing LV DC lighting and wiring systems, including: filament lamp to LED lamp replacement; resistance and voltage drop; circuit performance checks; connecting system and components to existing electrical system without causing damage or problems, including: selecting and soldering wires; selecting and crimping terminals; removing and replacing connectors; removing and replacing existing electrical components
different cable types and sizes and their current carrying capacity
types of wiring systems found in vehicles, vessels or machinery, including: basic wiring; twisted pair; shielded wiring
techniques for reading and interpreting technical information, fitting instructions, wiring diagrams and graphic symbols
post-installation testing procedures, including: confirming that electrical system is operating to manufacturer specifications following installation; confirming that no other problems are present as a result of installing LV DC lighting and wiring systems

Foundation skills

Learning skills: locate appropriate sources of information efficiently.
Reading skills: interpret information from manufacturer and workshop literature when seeking specifications and procedures interpret text, symbols and wiring diagrams in lighting and wiring system and component information in manufacturer specifications, fitting instructions and workplace procedures.
Writing skills: legibly and accurately fill out workplace documentation when reporting work performed and recording parts and material used.
Oral communication skills: clarify instructions, report findings, and make installation recommendations.
Numeracy skills: match materials and component part numbers to work instructions and component part lists measure voltage, current and resistance and use basic mathematical operations, including addition and subtraction, to calculate deviations from 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: select most appropriate installation option from a range of options.
Technology skills: use workplace technology and specialised tools, including multimeters.

Questions about assessing AURETR009

What does an assessment tool for AURETR009 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETR009 needs to address all 29 unit components: 3 elements with 13 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 AURETR009?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURETR009 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 AURETR009 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURETR009 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 AURETR009, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
