What an assessment for CPCCSG3014 must cover

46 assessable components: 6 elements (21 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 12 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 5 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 are identified from drawings and specifications.
  • 1.2Sequence of tasks required is determined and confirmed with relevant personnel.
  • 1.3Tools and equipment are selected to carry out tasks according to job requirements, checked for serviceability, and faults are rectified or reported before starting work.
  • 1.4Health and safety requirements are identified and applied to planning.

2 Mark out design.

  • 2.1Design is set out to scale on fire retardant sheeting using layout methods according to job requirements.
  • 2.2Sections are calculated and marked out to design specifications.
  • 2.3Joint locations are determined from layout and marked out on pattern.
  • 2.4Electrodes are marked out to indicate double backed or right angled position.

3 Bend glass.

  • 3.1Glass is heated over a gas flame until pliable.
  • 3.2Glass is bent to form shape consistent with pattern and specifications, and any errors in shaping are rectified.

4 Attach electrodes and connect glass.

  • 4.1Electrodes are attached to pattern specification and requirements of Australian standards.
  • 4.2Glass tubing is connected using procedures and techniques according to job requirements.

5 Prepare glass for lighting system.

  • 5.1Pumping station is activated and section is connected to pumping station according to job requirements and safety procedures.
  • 5.2Glass is vacuumed and pumped with gas using equipment and materials consistent with job requirements.
  • 5.3Glass is sealed and bombarded using equipment consistent with job requirements and industry standards.
  • 5.4Glass is cooled safely and aged according to job requirements.
  • 5.5Neon sections are tested to determine transformer loadings according to Australian standards and safety procedures.
  • 5.6Doubled sections of glass are blackened to form design shape.

6 Secure finished sign and clean up.

  • 6.1Neon glass sign is securely attached to panel using attachments and supports according to job requirements.
  • 6.2Sign and surrounding surface area are cleaned and waste materials removed according to statutory and regulatory authority requirements.
  • 6.3Tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), are cleaned, maintained and stored according to workplace requirements.

Performance evidence

  • one sign must contain a directional symbol, such as an arrow
  • one sign must consist of at least three words written in script lettering and sans serif font, using three different colours
  • work, shape and join the glass tubed sections safely and accurately to form the required shapes or letters
  • select and use relevant tools and equipment to handle and form the glass
  • safely attach required number of electrodes and connect glass tubing
  • prepare the glass and pump gas to the glass assembly safely
  • bombard, cool and age the glass to specifications
  • affix each finished sign to a panel measuring a minimum 400 mm length x 300 mm height

Knowledge evidence

  • statutory and regulatory authority requirements relating to safe handling of materials, including: removal of waste products; storage of chemicals and materials
  • key features of drawings and specifications of gas-charged glass-formed signs, including dimensions, symbols and abbreviations
  • methods and techniques to: shape and form glass; pump gas into glass
  • processes to measure and set out when preparing to manufacture gas-charged illuminated signs, including applying direct and indirect layout methods
  • Australian standards appropriate to manufacturing gas-charged illuminated signs, including: AS 2508.2.012 Safe storage and handling; information cards for hazardous materials; AS 3100 Approval and test specification – General requirements for electrical equipment; AS 3953 Loading guide for dry-power transformers
  • types and characteristics of fonts and lettering styles used in the manufacture of signs
  • safety procedures required when working with live flame and gas
  • terminology used in sign manufacture
  • types and characteristics of gas-charged glass-formed illuminated signs
  • types, characteristics and correct handling procedures for materials used in the manufacture of gas-charged glass-formed illuminated signs
  • types and uses of electrodes and transformers when manufacturing gas-charged glass-formed illuminated signs
  • purpose and application of the following when working with tools and equipment used in the manufacture of gas-charged glass-formed illuminated signs: safety data sheets (SDS); safe work method statements (SWMS)

Foundation skills

  • Learning skills: transfer key principles and techniques of heating and forming glass tubes to form and join glass sections to new designs.
  • Numeracy skills: measure and calculate lengths and widths to set out sign design according to scale.
  • Oral communication skills: use questioning techniques to identify and confirm client requirements, share information, listen and understand.
  • Reading skills: read and interpret a range of information relating to the safe and appropriate use of tools and equipment for heating and shaping glass over a live flame, including safe work method statements (SWMS) and manufacturer specifications.
  • Writing skills: report faults in tools and equipment to manufacturer and relevant personnel in short, simple reports.

Questions about assessing CPCCSG3014

What does an assessment tool for CPCCSG3014 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCSG3014 needs to address all 46 unit components: 6 elements with 21 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 CPCCSG3014?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCSG3014 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 CPCCSG3014 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCSG3014 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 CPCCSG3014, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
