What an assessment for MEM19001 must cover

36 assessable components: 5 elements (17 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 11 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
1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
1.4Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions

2 Prepare metals for casting

2.1Select required metals and alloys
2.2Weigh out metals and alloys in correct wax-to-metal ratios
2.3Record data according to SOPs

3 Conduct pre-casting operations

3.1Prepare equipment according to SOPs, including checking required inert gas supply, delivery and vacuum systems
3.2Carry out required pre-heating and glazing
3.3Maintain temperature of invested flask

4 Melt jewellery metal and cast metals

4.1Apply protective coating, including borax, fluxes and inert gases to jewellery metal
4.2Heat jewellery metal to achieve casting temperature
4.3Position burn-out flask

Questions about assessing MEM19001

What does an assessment tool for MEM19001 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM19001 needs to address all 36 unit components: 5 elements with 17 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 11 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 MEM19001?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM19001 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 MEM19001 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM19001 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 MEM19001, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
