What an assessment for MEM05086 must cover
31 assessable components: 3 elements (13 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 12 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 Determine job requirements
- 1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
- 1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times

2 Set work holding fixtures, devices, tools and gas and nozzle controls
- 2.1Set up machine according to SOPs
- 2.2Prepare machine to accept work holding devices
- 2.3Replace worn or damaged nozzles, regulators and work holding devices/tools or take other corrective action in accordance with SOPs
- 2.4Set work holding fixtures, devices or tools to zero or a datum using appropriate setting devices
- 2.5Set gas and nozzle controls according to type and thickness of material to be cut and to minimise distortion
3 Trial and complete program
- 3.1Trial program observing all safety procedures

Questions about assessing MEM05086
What does an assessment tool for MEM05086 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM05086 needs to address all 31 unit components: 3 elements with 13 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 MEM05086?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM05086 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 MEM05086 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM05086 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 MEM05086, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
