What an assessment for CPCCLDG3001 must cover

58 assessable components: 5 elements (28 performance criteria), 14 performance evidence and 15 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.

  • 5.3Store lifting equipment and gear in accordance with workplace requirements.
  • 5.4Remove risk controls and safety measures and equipment.

Performance evidence

  • To demonstrate competency in this unit, a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria by slinging and directing the movement of at least five loads of differing shapes, sizes and weights.
  • The loads must be moved by a slewing mobile crane of a maximum rated capacity of at least seven tonnes.
  • check relevant workplace information, including safe work method statements (SWMSs), and equipment service and maintenance records and checklists
  • perform all activities in compliance with safe work practices and workplace-specific procedures and policies, and check, use, maintain and store equipment in compliance with manufacturer requirements
  • identify hazards and use appropriate risk controls and safety measures and equipment
  • determine load weight and travel path in consultation with crane operator
  • select and inspect appropriate lifting gear and apply slinging techniques appropriate to the type of load, its mass and centre of gravity
  • identify the working load limit (WLL) tags of the lifting equipment and gear and calculate the deration of the WLL resulting from the slinging techniques applied
  • make temporary connections to loads using fibre or synthetic ropes
  • use radio communication and hand and whistle signals to guide the crane operator, including when the load is out of sight of the crane operator.
  • The candidate must use the following bends and hitches when slinging and directing the movement of loads: single sheet bend, clove hitch, rolling hitch, bowline.
  • Load types must include: stillage containing at least ten scaffolding standards or loose steel pipes of 200 kg or more, ten loose steel pipes, of at least 2 m length, that need wrapping, an uneven load of at least two tonnes requiring slinging, steel plate of at least 1.5 m x 2 m x 25 mm, a round load with a minimum diameter of 300 mm and minimum length of 3 m.
  • The candidate must direct each load through at least 180 degrees of the crane’s slewing radius.
  • Each of the following must be used at least once: flexible steel wire rope (FSWR) sling, synthetic sling, chain sling (including shortener), spreader bar or lifting beam, tag line, shackles, eyebolts, plate clamps.

Knowledge evidence

Questions about assessing CPCCLDG3001

What does an assessment tool for CPCCLDG3001 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCLDG3001 needs to address all 58 unit components: 5 elements with 28 performance criteria, 14 performance evidence requirements, 15 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 CPCCLDG3001?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCLDG3001 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 CPCCLDG3001 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCLDG3001 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 CPCCLDG3001, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
