What an assessment for MEA293 must cover
62 assessable components: 3 elements (10 performance criteria), 24 performance evidence and 28 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.

- 1.4Complete required maintenance documentation and process according to standard organisational procedures
- 1.5Tag and package removed components according to specified procedures
2 Install aircraft electronic system components
- 2.1Check electronic system components to be installed to confirm correct part numbers, modification status, serviceability, and shelf life
- 2.2Perform physical installation of electronic components according to maintenance manual and regulatory requirements, and carry out required adjustment and alignment
- 2.3Conduct required processes to reinstate system in order to correct operational condition in preparation for testing
3 Finalise removal and installation documentation
- 3.1Complete required maintenance documentation
- 3.2Process maintenance documentation according to organisational procedures
Performance evidence

Questions about assessing MEA293
What does an assessment tool for MEA293 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA293 needs to address all 62 unit components: 3 elements with 10 performance criteria, 24 performance evidence requirements, 28 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 MEA293?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEA293 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 MEA293 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEA293 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 MEA293, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
