What an assessment for CPCCSG3017 must cover
47 assessable components: 6 elements (25 performance criteria), 11 performance evidence and 7 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 for installation
- 1.1Job requirements are identified from work instructions and confirmed with relevant personnel.
- 1.2Characteristics and dimensions of sign are identified and weight of sign is calculated and applied to planning.

- 1.5Tools and equipment are selected to carry out tasks according to job requirements, checked for serviceability, and faults are rectified or reported before starting work.
- 1.6Health and safety requirements are identified and applied to planning.
- 1.7Sequence of tasks is determined and confirmed with relevant personnel.
2 Assess installation site
- 2.1Work site is assessed and need for engineering risk assessment is identified with relevant personnel and obtained where appropriate to confirm structural integrity of supporting background before starting work.
- 2.2Site plans are sourced and location of assets, services and infrastructure beneath and around installation site are identified.
- 2.3Condition of surface is assessed and need for remedial work is identified.
- 2.4Remedial work if required is undertaken or referred to relevant personnel for action according to job requirements.
3 Prepare to secure sign
- 3.1Surface is cleaned and prepared according to planned material application.
- 3.2Sign is positioned on site, checked for quality, and identified faults are rectified before installation.
4 Secure sign to surface, as required
- 4.1Location for sign is confirmed against drawings and position is marked out for installation.
- 4.2Marked locations are checked to be level and errors in measurements and calculations are rectified before sign is installed.
- 4.3Sign is positioned and secured with fasteners and fixings according to manufacturer specifications, specified tolerances, job requirements and safety procedures.
5 Secure freestanding sign, as required
- 5.1Location for support materials is marked out on site according to job requirements.
- 5.2Footings for sign are created to specified depth according to job requirements and sign characteristics.
- 5.3Anchor bolts are inserted and holes are filled with concrete and finished to job requirements.
- 5.4Support poles are inserted, fixed into position, and checked for levelling using levelling tools.
- 5.5Sign is secured to poles using specified fastenings and fixings, and checked for stability, and faults are rectified or reported to relevant personnel.
6 Finalise work and clean up
- 6.1Installation is checked to ensure it is level, and faults in installation process are identified and rectified or reported to relevant personnel.
- 6.2Appropriate colour and type of paint are applied to visible fastenings and fixings to a professional standard and according to job requirements.
- 6.3Sign and surrounding area are cleaned and waste materials are removed according to statutory and regulatory authority requirements.
- 6.4Tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), are cleaned, maintained and stored according to workplace requirements.
Performance evidence
- A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and must erect and install two signs as follows:
- one sign must measure at least 1200 x 2400 mm, be constructed of aluminium no more than 5 mm thick, and be fixed using appropriate fixings and fastenings to one of the following surfaces: acrylic, glass, masonry, metal, plasterboard, plastic, timber
- one sign must measure at least 1200 x 2400 mm, be constructed of aluminium no more than 5 mm thick, and be positioned as a freestanding sign to two aluminium posts or poles measuring no less than 90 x 90 mm.
- In doing the above work, the person must:
- check and confirm the need for planning permissions to install the signs in specified location
- check and confirm the site for services and assets below ground
- assess the sign installation requirements relevant to the work site, identifying potential risks and hazards and demonstrating measures to mitigate potential work site risks and hazards
- ensure the structural integrity of the supporting background, including taking steps to ensure reinforcement is arranged if required
- follow safety procedures when erecting and installing above signs
- identify and select methods for erecting and installing above signs, including selecting tools, fasteners and fixings giving consideration to the characteristics of the signs
- prepare the work site for installation and install the signs according to job requirements.
Knowledge evidence
- purpose and application of the following when erecting and installing signs: safety data sheets (SDS), safe work method statements (SWMS)
- effect of mechanical and chemical fixings and fastenings used to install signs on different surfaces
- load bearing specifications for a range of fastener and fixing measurements and calculations relating to material quantities
- relevant Australian and New Zealand standards in relation to the installation of signs, including: AS/NZS 3832 Electrical installations – Cold-cathode illumination systems, AS 1319 Safety signs for the occupational environment
- statutory and regulatory authority requirements, particularly those relating to: removal of waste products, storage of chemicals and materials
- types and uses of tools and equipment used for installing signs
- processes and practices for working safely around power sources, services and assets.
Foundation skills
- Learning skills: source and apply information relating to council and other permissions required for some sign installations.
- Numeracy skills: take accurate measurements and calculate weights and load tolerances.
- Reading skills: interpret manufacturer specifications relating to use of fasteners and fixings used to erect signs; interpret job requirements, installation instructions and diagrams relating to erecting and installing signs.
- Writing skills: complete council and other regulatory authority documentation required as part of permit approval processes; report faults in tools and equipment to manufacturer and other relevant personnel using appropriate documentation and terminology.

Questions about assessing CPCCSG3017
What does an assessment tool for CPCCSG3017 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCSG3017 needs to address all 47 unit components: 6 elements with 25 performance criteria, 11 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 CPCCSG3017?
Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCSG3017 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 CPCCSG3017 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing CPCCSG3017 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 CPCCSG3017, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
