What an assessment for PMASUP348 must cover

50 assessable components: 4 elements (20 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 24 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 5 foundation skills. 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 Prepare and organise operational and maintenance activities

1.1Review previous reports and check for outstanding work orders or notices
1.2Assemble equipment and plan maintenance activities
1.3Take regular readings from CP system monitoring, test equipment and interpret collected data
1.4Identify CP faults and notify appropriate personnel
1.5Compile reports based on the collected data and analyse to determine system maintenance and operational adjustments to optimise system integrity

2 Conduct CP system surveys

2.1Interpret survey specifications to determine survey path and equipment requirement
2.2Conduct preparation activities on CP system to enable survey to be carried out
2.3Conduct CP surveys of the system and log and record results of the survey
2.4Fault-find and diagnose operating CP systems
2.5Download collected survey data to allow a report to be compiled about survey findings

3 Recommission the system

3.1Recommission the system to meet system operational requirements
3.2Restore site to meet environmental and operational requirements
3.3Compile and update records and drawings to reflect the repair or modification
3.4Maintain incident records according to procedures

4 Identify and respond to abnormal situations during operation

4.1Monitor equipment frequently and critically throughout shift using own senses, and measured and indicated data
4.2Monitor field data and instrumentation to ensure that product remains on specification
4.3Identify impacts of changes upstream and downstream
4.4Identify actual and developing situations that may require action
4.5Take action to remedy abnormal situations according to operating procedures
4.6Complete required documents outlining abnormal situation management and corrective action taken

Performance evidence

There must be evidence the candidate has completed the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit: at least 2 times, each in a separate work context.

Questions about assessing PMASUP348

What does an assessment tool for PMASUP348 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMASUP348 needs to address all 50 unit components: 4 elements with 20 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 24 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 PMASUP348?

Auditori pulls the current release of PMASUP348 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 PMASUP348 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing PMASUP348 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 PMASUP348, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
