What an assessment for MARH019 must cover

28 assessable components: 3 elements (11 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 11 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 Interpret weather and oceanographic information

1.1Ocean and weather conditions are observed and interpreted
1.2Measurements of current local, meteorological and oceanographic parameters are made and recorded using appropriate shipboard instruments
1.3Weather charts and satellite images are acquired and interpreted
1.4Weather reports are obtained and interpreted

2 Use information to predict local weather and oceanographic conditions

2.1Forecasts of local weather and oceanographic conditions are correctly made using available information
2.2Wave height and swell forecast is made using available information
2.3Effects of local topographical features on wind flow and weather conditions are estimated using available information
2.4Potentially dangerous conditions are identified and appropriate actions taken to secure vessel

3 Maintain records of weather and oceanographic information and forecasts

3.1Weather and oceanographic information and forecasts are recorded and filed according to organisational procedures
3.2Action on vessel operations initiated as a result of weather and oceanographic forecasts is documented according to organisational procedures
3.3Meteorological charts, publications and related documentation are updated and stored according to organisational procedures

Performance evidence

ensuring currency of relevant reference material
observing, interpreting and forecasting weather and oceanographic conditions
reading, interpreting and applying weather and oceanographic information
recognising problems that may occur when interpreting weather and oceanographic information
selecting and using shipboard instruments to assist in forecasting weather and oceanographic conditions, including:  anemometers  barometers  equipment for receiving weather maps and forecasts  wet and dry bulb thermometers
using tide tables to calculate height of tide.

Knowledge evidence

actions to be taken in potentially dangerous conditions, including:  avoiding extreme adverse weather conditions  avoiding storm centres and dangerous quadrants by adjusting course and speed  properly securing all vessel equipment
basic principles for making meteorological and oceanographic measurements
effects on navigation and vessel handling of wind, currents and bottom topography
heat exchange process
ocean and weather conditions, including:  air masses and fronts  cloud classifications  cyclones, storms and gales  ocean currents  pressure systems and cold fronts  sea state  synoptic chart analysis  tide prediction  tropical meteorology
principles and procedures of weather forecasting using information obtained from observations, charts, satellite images, reports and instruments
sources of weather and oceanographic information, and methods for their interpretation
topographical effects on wind flow
typical problems in forecasting weather and oceanographic conditions

Questions about assessing MARH019

What does an assessment tool for MARH019 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARH019 needs to address all 28 unit components: 3 elements with 11 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 11 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 MARH019?

Auditori pulls the current release of MARH019 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 MARH019 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MARH019 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 MARH019, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
