What an assessment for CPCCBL3006 must cover

55 assessable components: 4 elements (19 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 28 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 1 foundation skills. 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 for work.

  • 1.4Use measurements and apply formulas to calculate material quantities.
  • 1.5Determine job priorities and sequence job tasks in consultation with others on site.
  • 1.6Identify potential hazards and determine and implement control measures.
  • 1.7Select and check condition of plant, equipment and tools and report damage or faults to relevant person.
  • 1.8Check conformity of materials against the specifications and place materials in preparation for the work.

2 Set out brickwork.

  • 2.1Identify brick bond from plans and set out and mark position of brickwork on footing.
  • 2.2Set out engaged and isolated piers to specified height and gauge.

3 Construct walls and piers.

  • 3.1Mix mortar quality and consistency to job requirements.
  • 3.2Lay walls with engaged piers straight, level and plumb.
  • 3.3Lay isolated piers square and plumb to the specified height maintaining gauge.
  • 3.4Remove excess mortar prior to drying.
  • 3.5Finish joints to specified profile and depth.
  • 3.6Brush down and clean brickwork prior to mortar drying.

4 Clean up.

  • 4.1Clear the work area, and dispose of, reuse or recycle materials in following workplace and environmental requirements.
  • 4.2Clean tools and equipment, check for serviceability and report damage or faults.
  • 4.3Store and secure tools and equipment following workplace procedures.

Performance evidence

  • To demonstrate competency in this unit, a candidate must meet the performance criteria of this unit by laying three 230 mm thick brick walls, to a minimum height of 634 mm.

Questions about assessing CPCCBL3006

What does an assessment tool for CPCCBL3006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCBL3006 needs to address all 55 unit components: 4 elements with 19 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 28 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 CPCCBL3006?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCBL3006 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 CPCCBL3006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCBL3006 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 CPCCBL3006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
