What an assessment for AURVTN018 must cover

29 assessable components: 3 elements (15 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 6 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 repair and replace vehicle structural damage

1.1Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions

1.4Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
1.5Tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
1.6Work is planned to identify methods, minimise waste, and use time efficiently

2 Carry out structural straightening, realigning and welding procedures

2.1Damaged components are removed as required, according to OEM or authorised agency’s recommended procedures and equipment
2.2Components are straightened using OEM or authorised agency’s approved equipment and procedures
2.3Repaired or replacement components are fitted and aligned, and measurements are checked against OEM or authorised agency’s specifications
2.4Repaired or replaced components are welded according to OEM or authorised agency’s specifications, methods and equipment, and safety and environmental requirements
2.5Assistance is sought from authorised personnel where straightening, realigning and welding of components disturb vehicle trim or electrical, mechanical or air conditioning systems

3 Complete work processes

3.1Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and manufacturer specifications, and components are presented ready for painting

Questions about assessing AURVTN018

What does an assessment tool for AURVTN018 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURVTN018 needs to address all 29 unit components: 3 elements with 15 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 AURVTN018?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURVTN018 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 AURVTN018 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURVTN018 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 AURVTN018, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
