What an assessment for UETDRDS019 must cover

34 assessable components: 3 elements (14 performance criteria), 14 performance evidence and 6 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 distribution substations

1.1Project requirements are determined
1.2Design specifications are determined in accordance with workplace requirements
1.3Tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) required for site inspections are determined, obtained and confirmed in working order
1.4Requirements for site inspections are determined in accordance with workplace requirements
1.5Work is prioritised and sequenced for completion in accordance with workplace requirements

2 Design distribution substations

2.1Site inspection is performed
2.2Distribution substations are designed in accordance with workplace requirements
2.3Systems modelling is used to evaluate and determine best outcomes in accordance with workplace requirements
2.4Sustainable energy principles are used to evaluate and determine best outcomes in accordance with workplace requirements
2.5Design is checked for compliance against legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice
2.6Health and safety risks are identified and minimised or eliminated by using safety and control measures in the design process
2.7Quality checks of work are undertaken in accordance with workplace requirements

3 Complete work and documentation

3.1Completed work is checked against project and workplace requirements
3.2Work records, reports and documentation are completed, approved and appropriate personnel notified in accordance with workplace requirements

Questions about assessing UETDRDS019

What does an assessment tool for UETDRDS019 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UETDRDS019 needs to address all 34 unit components: 3 elements with 14 performance criteria, 14 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 UETDRDS019?

Auditori pulls the current release of UETDRDS019 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 UETDRDS019 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UETDRDS019 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 UETDRDS019, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
