What an assessment for UEERA0026 must cover

75 assessable components: 3 elements (14 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 52 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 design mechanical ventilation/exhaust systems and select equipment

  • 1.1WHS/OHS processes and procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
  • 1.2WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed in preparation for the work
  • 1.3Scope of the proposed mechanical ventilation/exhaust system is determined from the design brief and/or consultations with relevant person/s
  • 1.4Design development work is planned in accordance with workplace procedures for timelines in consultation with others involved

2 Design mechanical ventilation/exhaust systems and select equipment

  • 2.1Relevant mechanical ventilation/exhaust processes and methods are applied to the design
  • 2.2Alternative concepts for design are evaluated in accordance with the design brief
  • 2.3Safety, functionality and budgetary considerations are incorporated in the design specifications
  • 2.4System design draft is checked for compliance in accordance with the design brief and relevant industry standards
  • 2.5System design is documented for submission to relevant person/s for approval
  • 2.6Unplanned events are dealt with in accordance with problem-solving techniques and workplace procedures

3 Obtain approval for mechanical ventilation/exhaust systems design and equipment selection

  • 3.1System design is presented to customer and/or relevant person/s in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.2Requests for alterations to the design are negotiated with relevant person/s in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.3Final design is documented and approval obtained from relevant person/s in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.4Quality of work is monitored in accordance with workplace procedures and relevant industry standards

Questions about assessing UEERA0026

What does an assessment tool for UEERA0026 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEERA0026 needs to address all 75 unit components: 3 elements with 14 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 52 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 UEERA0026?

Auditori pulls the current release of UEERA0026 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 UEERA0026 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UEERA0026 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 UEERA0026, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
