What an assessment for MEM07006 must cover
30 assessable components: 4 elements (13 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 9 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)

- 1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
- 1.4Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions
2 Prepare to undertake work
- 2.1Determine sequence of operation
- 2.2Select tooling, using International Standard Organisation (ISO) standards or according to SOPs, to produce component to specification
- 2.3Set up job using appropriate measuring instruments
3 Perform turning operations
- 3.1Calculate speeds and feeds
- 3.2Set up machine, changing gears and speed using a lead screw and appropriate mathematical techniques and reference material

Questions about assessing MEM07006
What does an assessment tool for MEM07006 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM07006 needs to address all 30 unit components: 4 elements with 13 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 MEM07006?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM07006 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 MEM07006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM07006 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 MEM07006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
