What an assessment for PPMPRS301 must cover
30 assessable components: 4 elements (15 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 6 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 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 Identify problem and its effects
- 1.1Identify indicators of fault, defect or problem as they occur
- 1.2Identify problem and possible causes to be investigated
- 1.3Define problem and determine effect on personal safety, equipment safety, quality and productivity
- 1.4Implement emergency or safety procedures where personal safety is identified
2 Analyse problem and determine priority of causes
- 2.1Determine impact of the problem on machinery performance
- 2.2Consider likelihood of each possible cause occurring
- 2.3Determine own ability to conduct checks on each cause or refer to technician
- 2.4Prioritise possible causes for investigation
3 Apply possible solutions and review outcomes
- 3.1Plan and prepare for implementation of possible solutions within own work responsibility
- 3.2Select and prepare equipment and resources for the implementation of possible solutions
- 3.3Apply required techniques to respond to selected solution according to manufacturer specifications and operating procedures
- 3.4Inspect and test system and process to determine whether solution was successful in resolving identified cause
- 3.5Action next possible solution in prioritised order until problem is resolved
4 Document and report problems and solutions

Questions about assessing PPMPRS301
What does an assessment tool for PPMPRS301 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PPMPRS301 needs to address all 30 unit components: 4 elements with 15 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 PPMPRS301?
Auditori pulls the current release of PPMPRS301 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 PPMPRS301 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing PPMPRS301 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 PPMPRS301, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
