What an assessment for PMBPROD385E must cover

30 assessable components: 4 elements (13 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 13 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 Determine operational parameters

  • 1.1Identify work requirements from engineering drawings and product specifications
  • 1.2Define basic machine function and tool path geometry requirements to meet job specifications
  • 1.3Select program elements for machine controller that meet job specifications

2 Write program

  • 2.1Calculate coordinates for simple tool path or basic machining functions based on job specifications
  • 2.2Write program in standard code format to meet job specifications
  • 2.3Produce accurate operation sheets that reflect job specifications

3 Check program

  • 3.1Operate machine in manual mode to test, prove and adjust program to meet job specifications
  • 3.2Check component output meets job specifications
  • 3.3Record program operating audit report according to workplace procedures

4 Anticipate and solve process control variances

  • 4.1Recognise existing or potential process control variances and their causes
  • 4.2Determine, prioritise and implement remedial and preventative actions based on identified issues and causes
  • 4.3Monitor process control variances and corrective actions taken until resolved
  • 4.4Accurately maintain records and logbooks

Performance evidence

  • program computer-controlled equipment at least once to meet job specifications.

Knowledge evidence

  • software program function in controlling the operation
  • types of computer-controlled equipment and their applications
  • program and machine theory, practices and techniques
  • the tool paths to be followed when producing a part or product
  • the sequence of machining operations
  • the reasons for selecting tool paths and sequence of operations
  • the zero point of the equipment
  • procedures for writing programs in standard code format
  • procedures for completing operation sheets
  • the information to be included in operation sheets
  • key variables that may affect product quality and production output
  • 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.

Foundation skills

  • Numeracy: Numeracy skills to interpret engineering and equipment specifications.
  • Reading: Reading skills to interpret job and equipment specifications and workplace procedures.
  • Writing and oral communication: Writing and oral communication skills to record operation sheets and report on process control variances.

Questions about assessing PMBPROD385E

What does an assessment tool for PMBPROD385E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMBPROD385E needs to address all 30 unit components: 4 elements with 13 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 13 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 PMBPROD385E?

Auditori pulls the current release of PMBPROD385E 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 PMBPROD385E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing PMBPROD385E 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 PMBPROD385E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
