What an assessment for MEM09224 must cover

36 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 10 performance evidence and 10 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
1.3Identify job requirements from specifications
1.4Determine fabrication shop capabilities and fabricator preferences

2 Determine shop and field connections from design drawings

2.1Allocate connections as shop or field-welded in conjunction with fabricator
2.2Allocate connections to be field-bolted and decide the extent of shop preparation of connections
2.3Allocate connection fittings to either columns or beams to suit fabrication efficiency or design requirements
2.4Make a request for further information (RFI) to design engineer where clarification of requirements is needed

3 Detail bolts for connections

3.1Specify bolt types and sizes for each connection using design information and consideration of commercial availability
3.2Select bolt and thread lengths according to design specifications and connection requirements
3.3Detail bolt and bolt holes taking into account AS 4100 Steel structures requirements, tightening and tensioning specifications and clearances
3.4Prepare and check field bolt list and send to fabricator

4 Detail welds for connections

4.1Identify shop and field welds
4.2Use standard welding symbols
4.3Apply clearances for welding
4.4Place field weld details on erection plans and shop drawings and submit to design engineer for approval

Questions about assessing MEM09224

What does an assessment tool for MEM09224 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM09224 needs to address all 36 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 10 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 MEM09224?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM09224 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 MEM09224 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM09224 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 MEM09224, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
