What an assessment for MARB035 must cover

53 assessable components: 4 elements (24 performance criteria), 11 performance evidence and 18 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 engine maintenance tasks

1.1Planned maintenance system is accessed to establish engine maintenance requirements for vessel
1.2Maintenance tasks are proposed and prioritised in conjunction with others involved in or affected by the maintenance work

1.4Maintenance tasks are recorded in the maintenance schedule according to workplace procedures

2 Prepare for engine service

2.1Nature and scope of work requirements are confirmed according to workplace procedures
2.2Service procedures, workshop manuals and manufacturer specifications are accessed and interpreted
2.3Tools, equipment and materials required for servicing are identified and prepared

2.5Electrical components are identified and electrical equipment used safely
2.6Engine is started, ran up to operating temperature and checked for leaks, abnormal noises and pressures
2.7Test results are compared with manufacturer/component supplier specifications to determine compliance or non-compliance
2.8Results are documented with supporting information and recommendations are made about serviceability and repair

3 Service engines and engine components

3.1Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements are identified and observed
3.2Service operations are performed according to workplace procedures and manufacturer/component supplier specifications
3.3Fluid level checks and replenishments are carried out according to manufacturer/component supplier specifications
3.4Appropriate lubricants are applied to engine
3.5Equipment/components requiring replacement are changed according to manufacturer/component supplier specifications
3.6Adjustments are made according to manufacturer/component supplier specifications

4 Complete work

4.1Engine is inspected to ensure protective guards, cowlings and safety features are in place
4.2Engine is cleaned according to workplace procedures
4.3Materials to be reused are collected and stored according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
4.4Tools and equipment are cleaned, maintained and stored according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
4.5Waste and scrap are removed according to legislative requirements and workplace procedures
4.6Unserviceable equipment is tagged and faults are identified and reported according to workplace procedures

Questions about assessing MARB035

What does an assessment tool for MARB035 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARB035 needs to address all 53 unit components: 4 elements with 24 performance criteria, 11 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 MARB035?

Auditori pulls the current release of MARB035 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 MARB035 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MARB035 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 MARB035, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
