What an assessment for MEM30006 must cover

28 assessable components: 2 elements (6 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 17 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 stresses in simple structures and mechanical components

  • 1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and comply with work, health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
  • 1.2Determine the shear stresses in simple bolted connections
  • 1.3Determine the nominal weld size or length of weld required on simple welded connections to meet load requirements
  • 1.4Draw and use torque distribution diagrams to calculate torsional shear stress and angle of twist on threaded bolts subjected to torques

2 Verify stress levels using appropriate reference material

  • 2.1Use appropriate reference materials to verify that stress loading is acceptable
  • 2.2Report verification results

Performance evidence

  • determining stresses in simple structures and mechanical components on at least two occasions
  • drawing and using torque distribution diagrams
  • using relevant codes and reference material
  • verifying stress levels using appropriate reference material
  • reporting verification results

Knowledge evidence

  • stress and strain:
  • normal stress and strain
  • modules of elasticity
  • deformation
  • Poisson’s ratio
  • shear stress and strain
  • modulus of rigidity
  • yield stress, ultimate stress, proportional limit, factor of safety and allowable stress
  • centrally- loaded connections
  • bolted connections
  • shear, tensile, torque and bearing stresses
  • centrally- loaded welded connections
  • fillet and butt welds including method of failure
  • size and length of weld
  • effect of hole punching
  • longitudinal stress
  • relevant codes and reference material

Questions about assessing MEM30006

What does an assessment tool for MEM30006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM30006 needs to address all 28 unit components: 2 elements with 6 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 17 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 MEM30006?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM30006 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 MEM30006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM30006 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 MEM30006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
