What an assessment for TLIS3010 must cover

51 assessable components: 5 elements (17 performance criteria), 22 performance evidence and 12 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 test requirements

  • 1.1Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented
  • 1.2Test site is identified and prepared using appropriate procedures and materials
  • 1.3Preparation processes are carried out in accordance with relevant procedures, statutory and work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements

2 Conduct testing using hand directed equipment

  • 2.1Most appropriate ultrasonic test for the application is selected
  • 2.2Testing equipment is selected and prepared in accordance with rail industry standards and workplace procedures
  • 2.3Ultrasonic test is carried out in accordance with relevant standards, specifications and WHS/OHS requirements
  • 2.4Ultrasonic testing equipment is checked for proper function, maintained and stored in accordance with procedures, WHS/OHS requirements and manufacturer instructions

3 Conduct visual examination and measurement of rail and welds

  • 3.1Rail and welds are visually assessed for obvious defects
  • 3.2New welds are assessed for alignment and adjustment tolerance in accordance with standards and/or procedures
  • 3.3Weld repairs are assessed for alignment tolerance in accordance with standards and/or procedures

4 Identify and classify defects

  • 4.1Indications are assessed and defects detected in accordance with standards and/or procedures
  • 4.2Defects are classified in accordance with standards and/or procedures
  • 4.3Defective welds and weld repairs are marked in accordance with standards and/or procedures

5 Complete documentation

  • 5.1Test results are reported in accordance with standards and/or procedures
  • 5.2Documentation requirements are confirmed, in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 5.3Documentation is filled in legibly and proofread
  • 5.4Documentation is processed in accordance with workplace procedures

Performance evidence

  • adapting to differences in equipment in accordance with operating procedures
  • applying relevant workplace procedures

Questions about assessing TLIS3010

What does an assessment tool for TLIS3010 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for TLIS3010 needs to address all 51 unit components: 5 elements with 17 performance criteria, 22 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 TLIS3010?

Auditori pulls the current release of TLIS3010 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 TLIS3010 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing TLIS3010 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 TLIS3010, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
