What an assessment for MARB032 must cover
43 assessable components: 4 elements (22 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 15 knowledge evidence requirements. 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 Plan maintenance activities
- 1.1Maintenance plan is accessed to determine electrical system maintenance requirements
- 1.2Inspections are conducted and additional non-routine maintenance requirements are determined
- 1.3System specifications and diagrams for electrical systems are obtained
- 1.4Tasks are planned and sequenced in conjunction with others involved in or affected by maintenance work
- 1.5Consumables and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
2 Complete preventative maintenance
- 2.1Electrical system is safely isolated according to regulatory and work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements
- 2.2WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out work are followed
- 2.3Preventative maintenance is carried out in compliance with system specifications
- 2.4Methods for dealing with unexpected situations are selected on the basis of safety and specified work outcomes
- 2.5Work is carried out efficiently without waste of materials and damage to equipment and machinery or other services
- 2.6Maintenance work is checked to verify that it conforms with technical specifications
3 Complete breakdown maintenance
- 3.1Nature of breakdown is confirmed using maintenance records and or log book entries related to reported breakdown
- 3.2Restrictions are applied to operations, as necessary, and Master is notified
- 3.3Limits of repair work that can be carried out are established according to relevant state or territory electrical licensing requirements
- 3.4System is isolated
- 3.5Repair work is carried out according to system specifications
- 3.6Master is notified of completion of repair work and details are documented
4 Clean up and complete documentation
- 4.1Work area is cleared and cleaned
- 4.2Materials are disposed of or recycled according to legislative and workplace requirements
- 4.3Tools and equipment are cleaned, checked and stored according to workplace procedures
- 4.4Electrical system and equipment are put back into service and monitored for correct operation according to organisational practices
- 4.5Maintenance report is completed according to workplace procedures

Questions about assessing MARB032
What does an assessment tool for MARB032 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARB032 needs to address all 43 unit components: 4 elements with 22 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 15 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 MARB032?
Auditori pulls the current release of MARB032 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 MARB032 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MARB032 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 MARB032, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
