- Knowledge Evidence: 86%
Key remaining performance gap: torque measurement
We can also supply a torque sensor if required.
Introduction
In the VET sector, delivery and assessment need to align with the requirements of the unit being taught. ASQA expects RTOs and TAFEs to ensure their assessment is valid, which means it should align with the unit of competency and cover the skills and knowledge required for competent performance. The 2025 Standards for RTOs also require assessment systems to be quality assured through validation of assessment practices and judgements.
While formal validation usually focuses on assessment tools and outcomes, we also map our equipment against unit requirements so customers can clearly see how it supports delivery and assessment of UEEEL0005.
Mapping the Control Circuit and Motor Starter Pracboxes to UEEEL0005
The Control Circuit Pracbox was already able to cover a large portion of UEEEL0005, but not the full practical scope of the unit on its own.
The Motor Starter Pracbox was developed to help address those remaining gaps.
Together, the two Pracboxes provide near-complete coverage of the practical requirements of UEEEL0005, while also supporting a large portion of the knowledge evidence.
This gives trainers a clearer pathway for delivery and assessment, and helps training organisations get a stronger return on investment from the equipment.
Mapping of Elements and Performance Criteria
The Elements and Performance Criteria of UEEEL0005 are divided into three sections. Together, the Control Circuit Pracbox and Motor Starter Pracbox cover 100% of these requirements.

Mapping of Performance Evidence
The Performance Evidence of UEEEL0005 is divided into nine sections. Together, the Control Circuit Pracbox and Motor Starter Pracbox cover 99% of these requirements.
The remaining gap is torque measurement, which sits outside the two Pracboxes and requires an external torque sensor. We can also supply a torque sensor to support 100% coverage of this area.

Mapping of Knowledge Evidence
The Knowledge Evidence of UEEEL0005 is divided into 13 sections. Together, the Control Circuit Pracbox and Motor Starter Pracbox cover 86% of these requirements.
In many cases, Knowledge Evidence is assessed through theory-based assessment tools. We have included it in this mapping because we believe practical equipment should also support the assessment of knowledge wherever possible.
This gives training organisations a more holistic view of the candidate’s competence by showing not only whether they understand the theory, but also whether they can apply it in practice.
