What an assessment for MARO007 must cover

44 assessable components: 2 elements (13 performance criteria), 14 performance evidence and 17 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 Follow instructions to monitor engine room machinery and equipment

1.1Unsafe conditions and potential hazards are recognised, and risk is assessed and reported according to workplace procedures
1.2Unsafe conditions and hazards are rectified according to workplace procedures
1.3Effective communication is maintained with the officer in charge of the engineering watch about matters relevant to the safety and integrity of the vessel
1.4Procedures for relief, maintenance and handover of a watch are followed
1.5Emergency situations are promptly reported to the officer in charge of the engineering watch
1.6Alarms are recognised and reported

2 Respond to potential emergency situations

2.1Control measures to minimise a potential emergency are implemented
2.2Containment procedures are applied as required
2.3Appropriate safety procedures are followed, and personal protective equipment (PPE) is used according to workplace procedures
2.4Emergency is eliminated where possible or actions are taken to control the emergency
2.5Appropriate firefighting equipment is identified to carry out firefighting operations
2.6Unsafe conditions and potential hazards are recognised, and risk is assessed and reported to the officer in charge of the engineering watch according to workplace procedures
2.7Unsafe conditions and hazards are rectified according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and work practices
communicating clearly and concisely, and acknowledging orders in a seamanlike manner
communicating effectively with the officer in charge of the engineering watch about matters relevant to watchkeeping duties
conforming to accepted practices, principles and procedures in the maintenance, handover and relief of the watch
conforming to established procedures and practices in taking initial action in the event of an emergency or abnormal situation

engine room alarm systems and the difference between the various alarms, including fire-extinguisher gas alarms
engine room emergency situations, and appropriate actions and solutions
escape routes from machinery spaces
function and operation of main propulsion and auxiliary machinery
information required to maintain a safe engine watch
location and use of firefighting equipment
monitoring equipment used in the engine room
orders as they relate to watchkeeping provided by the officer in charge of the engineering watch

Questions about assessing MARO007

What does an assessment tool for MARO007 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARO007 needs to address all 44 unit components: 2 elements with 13 performance criteria, 14 performance evidence requirements, 17 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 MARO007?

Auditori pulls the current release of MARO007 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 MARO007 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MARO007 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 MARO007, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
