What an assessment for MARC036 must cover
28 assessable components: 3 elements (12 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 13 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 Prepare lifting equipment and deck machinery for use
- 1.1Relevant personal protective equipment and machinery is selected, used and stored according to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements
- 1.2Routine pre-operational checks are carried out on lifting equipment and deck machinery according to manufacturer specifications, regulatory and organisational requirements
- 1.3Deviations from the norm are promptly identified and rectified
- 1.4Adjustments are made to achieve a safe and efficient operation
- 1.5Inability to start machinery is reported promptly and accurately to appropriate personnel
2 Operate lifting equipment and deck machinery
- 2.1Machinery is operated in a safe and controlled manner
- 2.2Machinery is operated within defined operating limits when running, to achieve optimum safety and efficiency
- 2.3Deviations from normal operations are promptly identified
- 2.4Action is taken to rectify basic operational faults to maintain optimum safety and efficiency
- 2.5Appropriate action is taken in a malfunction or emergency
3 Check and complete lifting equipment and deck machinery
- 3.1Equipment and machinery shutdown procedures are carried out according to manufacturer specifications and organisational procedures
- 3.2Equipment and machinery damage, malfunctions or irregular performance is recorded and reported according to organisational procedures
Performance evidence
- applying work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and safe work practices
- undertaking pre-operational checks including: checking oils, lubricants and hydraulic lines; inspection of safety guards; operation of emergency stops

Knowledge evidence
- basic hydraulic systems and their operation
- capstans
- electric and hydraulic winches and windlasses
- legislation affecting lifting equipment
- lifting equipment and deck machinery
- machinery shutdown procedures
- manufacturer recommendations, regulations and vessel operating procedures
- operational techniques for specific location and weather conditions
- procedures and requirements for selecting and using appropriate machinery and equipment
- process for maintaining workloads within manufacturer specifications
- stability implications as it relates to lifting gear

Questions about assessing MARC036
What does an assessment tool for MARC036 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARC036 needs to address all 28 unit components: 3 elements with 12 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 13 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 MARC036?
Auditori pulls the current release of MARC036 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 MARC036 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MARC036 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 MARC036, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
