What an assessment for CPCCON3049 must cover

24 assessable components: 3 elements (13 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 9 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 Plan and prepare to apply and finish sprayed concrete.

  • 1.1Interpret specifications for concrete spraying and clarify requirements with relevant persons.
  • 1.2Plan work tasks to comply with relevant legislation, regulations, standards, codes, work health and safety (WHS), environmental and workplace requirements.
  • 1.3Select and fit required personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • 1.4Inspect work site, assess hazards and apply risk controls, including required signage and barricades.
  • 1.5Select plant, tools and equipment, check for serviceability and rectify or report any faults.
  • 1.6Calculate and acquire material quantities to meet task specifications and safely locate materials ready for use.
  • 1.7Check that material properties and slump meet specification and take any actions required to ensure compliance.

2 Carry out concrete spraying and finishing activities.

  • 2.1Prepare pumping equipment for delivery of concrete mix to spray nozzle.
  • 2.2Check reinforcement to ensure it is away from the structure where concrete is to be applied.
  • 2.3Apply concrete to surface using required spray method within specified tolerances.
  • 2.4Shape and finish sprayed concrete to required form in accordance with work specifications.

3 Clean up.

  • 3.1Clear work area and dispose of, reuse or recycle materials in accordance with regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 3.2Clean, check, maintain and store plant, tools and equipment in accordance with manufacturer and workplace requirements.

Performance evidence

  • each project must involve a minimum of 10 square metres of concrete
  • wet and dry spraying concreting methods must be used across the two projects

Knowledge evidence

  • basic science of concrete involving cement chemical reaction (hydration) dependent on water content, temperature and time: effect on plastic state performance: benefits and non-benefits of admixture types and doses; plastic shrinkage cracking risk; effect on hardened state performance: early age and later age strength development; drying shrinkage and cracking
  • compliance requirements of legislation, regulations and Australian Standards relevant to concrete spraying tasks: environmental protection and waste disposal; material specifications and tolerances; work health and safety (WHS)
  • effects of temperature, wind and low humidity on the properties of concrete: detrimental effect of water addition to concrete properties; precautions that should be taken to minimise any potential adverse effects when applying and finishing sprayed concrete
  • health risks associated with silica dust exposure
  • methods for checking that material properties meet specifications: slump; water to cement ratios
  • processes for applying and finishing sprayed concrete using wet and dry spraying methods: dense flow process; mixing, transporting and placing sprayed concrete; thin flow process
  • types, characteristics, uses and limitations of plant, tools, equipment and materials used to apply and finish sprayed concrete
  • typical uses and applications of sprayed concrete
  • workplace requirements for applying and finishing sprayed concrete: cleaning up the work area; maintaining and storing materials, plant, tools and equipment; quality; reporting problems; safety requirements including personal protective equipment (PPE).

Questions about assessing CPCCON3049

What does an assessment tool for CPCCON3049 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCON3049 needs to address all 24 unit components: 3 elements with 13 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 CPCCON3049?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCON3049 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 CPCCON3049 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCON3049 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 CPCCON3049, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
