What an assessment for AURMTA008 must cover

67 assessable components: 7 elements (27 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 29 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 7 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 determine optimum aerodynamic settings

1.1Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions

1.5Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed

2 Determine optimum tyre settings

2.1Tyre setting requirements are calculated and determined according to known factors
2.2Effects of selected tyre settings on overall vehicle performance are evaluated
2.3Anticipated performance improvement is quantified and optimum settings are documented

3 Determine optimum steering and suspension settings

3.1Steering and suspension setting requirements are calculated and determined according to known factors
3.2Effects of selected steering and suspension settings on overall vehicle performance are evaluated
3.3Anticipated performance improvement is quantified and optimum settings are documented

4 Determine optimum aerodynamic device settings

4.1Aerodynamic device setting requirements are calculated and determined according to known factors
4.2Effects of selected aerodynamic device settings on overall vehicle performance are evaluated
4.3Anticipated performance improvement is quantified and optimum settings are documented

5 Supervise configuration of aerodynamic and vehicle dynamic settings

5.1Tooling and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
5.2Aerodynamic and vehicle dynamic optimum settings are configured according to team procedures and safety requirements
5.3Post-configuration checks are made to ensure accurate and complete changes according to team procedures and safety requirements
5.4Problems with work area or operation of equipment are evaluated and decisions implemented as required

Questions about assessing AURMTA008

What does an assessment tool for AURMTA008 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURMTA008 needs to address all 67 unit components: 7 elements with 27 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 29 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 AURMTA008?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURMTA008 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 AURMTA008 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURMTA008 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 AURMTA008, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
