What an assessment for AURHTD102 must cover

34 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 10 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 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 diagnose and repair heavy vehicle steering system

1.1Identify job requirements from workplace instructions
1.2Identify required information for diagnosis activity
1.3Analyse diagnostic options and source testing strategy to identify cause of fault using workplace and manufacturer procedures
1.4Identify hazards and environmental issues associated with diagnose and repair activity, assess potential risks and implement control measures in line with workplace policies and procedures
1.5Identify tools and equipment required for testing strategy and establish serviceability according to workplace procedures

2 Diagnose heavy vehicle steering system

2.1Implement diagnostic tests set out in testing strategy according to manufacturer and workplace procedures, and workplace health and safety requirements
2.2Identify cause of fault through analysis of diagnostic test results
2.3Confirm and report cause of fault according to workplace procedures
2.4Develop and report recommendations for necessary repairs according to workplace procedures

3 Repair heavy vehicle steering system

3.1Identify required information for repair activity
3.2Identify tools, equipment and materials required for repair activity and establish serviceability according to workplace procedures
3.3Carry out repairs according to workplace and manufacturer procedures, manufacturer specifications, workplace health and safety and environmental requirements
3.4Carry out post-repair testing according to workplace procedures, workplace health and safety and environmental requirements

4 Complete work processes

4.1Conduct final inspection according to workplace procedures and confirm vehicle is ready for use

Questions about assessing AURHTD102

What does an assessment tool for AURHTD102 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURHTD102 needs to address all 34 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 AURHTD102?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURHTD102 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 AURHTD102 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURHTD102 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 AURHTD102, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
