What an assessment for CPCCSG3006 must cover

37 assessable components: 5 elements (17 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 12 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 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 Plan and prepare work.

1.1Job requirements and timeframes are identified from work instructions and client briefs, confirmed, and applied to planning and preparation.
1.2Health and safety requirements are identified and applied to planning.
1.3Tools, equipment and materials are selected to carry out tasks consistent with job requirements.
1.4Sign surface is prepared to receive gilding.

2 Transfer sign design to surface.

2.1Draft design is set out to scale using setting out techniques applicable to sign design.
2.2Draft design is drawn to scale and transferred to prepared surface using direct and indirect layout methods.
2.3Decorative process is applied and defects in application are identified and rectified in line with job requirements.

3 Apply water gilding to sign.

3.1Gilding material is cut to required size and shape as specified.
3.2Gilding material is applied to surface, faults in application are identified and rectified, and excess gilding material is trimmed and removed.
3.3Surface area and sign are cleaned according to job requirements.

4 Apply surface gilding to sign.

4.1Adhesive is mixed with colour according to job requirements and applied to prepared surface
4.2Size is applied carefully to surface and gilding size is checked to be within design.
4.3Gilding material is applied to size using rubbing techniques, ensuring no gaps and that design shape is fully covered.
4.4Applied gilding leaf is burnished to ensure loose particles are removed.
4.5Design shape is trimmed carefully where applicable, and cleaning procedure and materials are applied to clean the gilded and surrounding surface.

5 Clean up.

5.1Finished gilded sign and surrounding surface area are cleaned and waste materials removed according to workplace, statutory and regulatory authority requirements.
