What an assessment for UEEEL0071 must cover

59 assessable components: 3 elements (11 performance criteria), 17 performance evidence and 31 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 Prepare to select power factor correction equipment

1.1Scope of the electrical installation is determined from job specifications and/or appropriate person/s
1.2Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) electrical installation requirements and relevant industry standards are identified and applied
1.3Cable routes, route lengths of cables and conditions of the wiring system for operation are determined from job specifications and/or appropriate person/s

2 Select power factor correction equipment

2.1Wiring systems are selected for suitability of the environments
2.2Cable conductor sizes are selected for current-carrying capacity requirements, voltage-drop and earth fault-loop impedance limitations
2.3Circuit protective devices are selected to meet job specifications for coordination with conductor current-carrying capacity
2.4Earthing system components are selected for the multiple earth neutral (MEN) system
2.5Evidence of the electrical equipment selected is obtained in accordance with WHS/OHS safety requirements

3 Complete documentation

3.1Evidence from manufacturer/supplier of the selected electrical equipment is obtained in accordance with WHS/OHS safety requirements
3.2Selection justification and calculations are documented in accordance with workplace procedures
3.3Electrical installation arrangement and manufacturer specifications for selected items are documented in accordance with workplace procedures and forwarded to appropriate person/s

Questions about assessing UEEEL0071

What does an assessment tool for UEEEL0071 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEEEL0071 needs to address all 59 unit components: 3 elements with 11 performance criteria, 17 performance evidence requirements, 31 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 UEEEL0071?

Auditori pulls the current release of UEEEL0071 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 UEEEL0071 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UEEEL0071 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 UEEEL0071, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
