What an assessment for PMBPREP305E must cover

32 assessable components: 5 elements (20 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 8 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 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 to change dies or cores

1.1Plan process for shutting down machinery and inform relevant personnel
1.2Take last-off samples from machine to complete die reports
1.3Select dies or cores to match product or process specification
1.4Implement measures to control identified hazards

2 Shut down extruder

2.1Shut down downstream equipment according to equipment specifications and shutdown process plan
2.2Shut down feed, drop temperatures, shut down vacuum pump and purge extruder according to equipment specifications
2.3Activate isolating locks and disconnect power to heaters according to equipment specifications

3 Change extruder set-up

3.1Remove, clean and store die to prepare for replacement
3.2Fit replacement die, ensuring that locating devices and marks are matched, and securing devices are installed and tightened to specification
3.3Remove and refit calibrator sleeve and seals to meet requirements
3.4Set heats according to pre-startup procedures

4 Restart and test new set-up

4.1Check operation of die against product quality and expected operational standard
4.2Compare machine setting ranges against documented requirements and machine specifications
4.3Check a first-off sample for compliance with required standards
4.4Fine-tune settings and other production variables to achieve required output quality
4.5Compare standard operating procedures with actual production run and note variances
4.6Accurately complete documentation

5 Anticipate and solve process control variances

5.1Recognise existing or potential process control variances and their causes
5.2Determine, prioritise and implement remedial and preventative actions based on identified issues and causes
5.3Monitor process control variances and corrective actions taken until resolved

Performance evidence

change extrusion die and calibrator at least once to meet requirements, including selecting dies, calibration sleeves, seals and tools.

Knowledge evidence

function and principles of the operation of extrusion equipment
methods of connecting extrusion dies to machines
extruder and ancillary equipment shutdown processes
the function of each machine setting and the appropriate ranges of settings for specific dies
key variables that may affect product quality or production output and appropriate remedies
typical and atypical process and product problems, including early warning signs, possible causes and corrective actions
organisational procedures relevant to the work environment or job role
hazards that may arise in the job or work environment, and: their possible causes, potential consequences, appropriate risk controls.

Foundation skills

Numeracy: Numeracy skills to interpret technical specifications and equipment readings.
Reading: Reading skills to interpret specifications and workplace procedures.
Writing and oral communication: Writing and oral communication skills to record and report equipment preparation and process control variances.

Questions about assessing PMBPREP305E

What does an assessment tool for PMBPREP305E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMBPREP305E needs to address all 32 unit components: 5 elements with 20 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 8 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 PMBPREP305E?

Auditori pulls the current release of PMBPREP305E 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 PMBPREP305E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing PMBPREP305E 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 PMBPREP305E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
