What an assessment for AURRTA006 must cover
30 assessable components: 4 elements (17 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 5 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 water test vessel
- 1.1Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
- 1.2Water testing procedures and information are accessed and interpreted
- 1.3Water testing 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, including personal protective equipment (PPE), are selected and checked for serviceability
2 Conduct safety inspection
- 2.1Vessel safety equipment is audited
- 2.2Vessel systems and components are checked for seaworthiness, and compliance with manufacturer specifications and applicable state and territory regulations
- 2.3Vessel is checked for safety using testing equipment, as required
- 2.4Systems and components that fail the safety test are recorded, and supervisor and owner are notified
3 Undertake water testing activities
- 3.1Engine performance is tested according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, safety requirements, and state and territory marine safety laws
- 3.2Propulsion unit is tested according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, safety requirements, and state and territory marine safety laws
- 3.3Hull and hull fittings are tested according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, safety requirements, and state and territory marine safety laws
- 3.4Vessel systems that fail water testing are reported according to workplace procedures, and include recommendations for required repairs or adjustments
4 Complete work processes
- 4.1Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and vessel 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 according to workplace procedures
- 4.4Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
Performance evidence
- water test two different vessels with engines, propulsion units and hull fittings, in which the work must involve water testing navigation lights and safety equipment.
Knowledge evidence
- work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to water testing vessels, including procedures for: - selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE), including personal flotation devices - following state or territory legislation, regulations and marine safety laws relating to operating a vessel in an estuary or seaway, including: - holding a boat driver licence - speed restrictions - navigation rules - boat capacity
- pre-launch inspection procedures, including inspection procedures for: - vessel safety equipment, including: - life jackets - anchors - bailer or fire bucket and lanyard - bilge pump - compass - distress flares - emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) - fire extinguisher - map - marine radio - paddles and oars - safety and capacity labels - sound signals - drinking water - waterproof torch - hulls and fittings - navigation lights - steering system - fuel system
- factors influencing vessel performance, including: - basic hull design and hydrodynamics - hull type, including: - planing - displacement - single and multi-hull - hull fittings - engine, including: - type - size - single and multi-cylinder - engine and hull match - engine propeller match - vessel, including: - type - size - age - modifications and additions to existing vessel
- water testing procedures for vessels, including water testing engine performance, propulsion units, and hull and hull fittings, including: - testing engine performance by operating engine through full operating range - testing propulsion unit by operating through full range of speeds and directions - testing hull and hull fittings by operating through full range of performance conditions - testing to establish that current configuration is performing to manufacturer specifications
- procedures for test report compilation and presentation.
Foundation skills
- Learning skills: locate appropriate sources of information efficiently.
- Reading skills: interpret safe operating procedures for vessels from workplace and manufacturer literature interpret water testing procedures from manufacturer procedures interpret information from manufacturer and workshop manuals when seeking vessel specifications.
- Writing skills: legibly and accurately fill out workplace documentation when reporting findings and recording work completed.
- Oral communication skills: clarify instructions, report findings, and gain customer consent for required rectification measures.
- Numeracy skills: interpret numbers on measuring equipment and vessel gauges 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.
- Technology skills: use measuring equipment, such as multimeters, tachometers and battery load testers.

Questions about assessing AURRTA006
What does an assessment tool for AURRTA006 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURRTA006 needs to address all 30 unit components: 4 elements with 17 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 5 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 AURRTA006?
Auditori pulls the current release of AURRTA006 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 AURRTA006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing AURRTA006 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 AURRTA006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
