What an assessment for AURTTM010 must cover

30 assessable components: 5 elements (19 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 4 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 undertake heat treatment procedures

1.1Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
1.2Engine component reclamation procedures are sourced and interpreted, and most appropriate method is selected
1.3Tools and measuring equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
1.4Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
1.5Engine component is prepared for heat treatment method according to safety and environmental requirements

2 Heat treat engine component for reclamation

2.1Heat treatment method is used to repair engine component according to workplace procedures and safety requirements, and following machinery safe operating procedures
2.2Engine component is measured to ensure compliance with specifications
2.3Heat treatment method is completed in readiness for further repair according to workplace procedures and safety requirements, and following machinery safe operating procedures

3 Straighten engine component for reclamation

3.1Engine component is prepared for straightening method according to workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
3.2Component is mounted and clamped in straightening equipment according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
3.3Engine component is straightened according to workplace procedures and safety requirements, and following machinery safe operating procedures
3.4Engine component is measured to ensure compliance with specifications
3.5Straightening process is completed in readiness for further repair according to workplace procedures and safety requirements, and following machinery safe operating procedures

4 Perform machining to reclaim component

4.1Machining is carried out according to workplace procedures and safety and environmental requirements, and following machinery safe operating procedures
4.2Component is measured to ensure compliance with manufacturer specifications
4.3Machining operations are completed according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and following machinery safe operating procedures

5 Complete repair processes

5.1Final inspection is made to ensure finished work complies with workplace requirements
5.2Bright surfaces are treated with rust prevention solution and engine component is prepared for further process or storage according to workplace procedures
5.3Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

heat treat, straighten and machine three different engine components, including one engine cylinder head.

Knowledge evidence

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to heat treating, straightening and reclaiming engine components, including procedures for: selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE); using heating torches, ovens, presses and straightening tools; environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of cooling and lubricating fluids released during the machining process
types, characteristics, uses and limitations of reclamation techniques, including: heat treatment techniques, including: effects of heat on different metals and heating procedures; hardening and tempering techniques, including thermal stress relieving to stabilise crankshafts and applying Tufftride and nitride; straightening techniques, including: cylinder head straightening; crankshaft, camshaft and connecting rod straightening; machining surfaces to achieve tolerances and required finish
requirements of Australian standards relevant to engine reconditioning, including: AS 4182 Automotive repairs – Code of practice for reconditioning reciprocating spark ignition engines; AS 4427 Automotive repairs – Code of practice for reconditioning reciprocating compression ignition engines
post-repair procedures, including component surface oxidation protection.

Foundation skills

Learning skills: locate appropriate sources of information efficiently.
Reading skills: interpret safe operating procedures for engine component rebuild machinery from workshop literature and signs.
Writing skills: legibly and accurately fill out workplace documentation to record measurements.
Numeracy skills: interpret numerical information in manufacturer specifications, workshop literature, and machinery dials, gauges and computer readouts; use basic mathematical operations, including addition and subtraction, to: convert metric dimensions to imperial, and imperial dimensions to metric; calculate tolerances and clearances.
Planning and organising skills: select best heating, straightening and reclamation options for the work and sequence procedure to reduce time and material wastage.
Technology skills: use precision metric and imperial measuring equipment.

Questions about assessing AURTTM010

What does an assessment tool for AURTTM010 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURTTM010 needs to address all 30 unit components: 5 elements with 19 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 4 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 AURTTM010?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURTTM010 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 AURTTM010 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURTTM010 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 AURTTM010, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
