What an assessment for CPCCST4007 must cover

32 assessable components: 5 elements (15 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 5 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 Set out and prepare the base location of work.

1.1Set out location of the brickwork to position in accordance with job specifications and drawings.
1.2Prepare base location so that the surface is dry, horizontal, clean and flat, and in accordance with job specifications.

2 Lay brickwork.

2.1Apply fire clay to bricks to maintain joints at the specified thickness.
2.2Ensure bricks are in the required bond and set out, method and line, level and plumb in accordance with job specifications and drawings.
2.3Cut bricks to the correct length to maintain the required bond in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and job specifications.
2.4Complete brickwork and remove surplus fire clay to specification requirements.

3 Form a segmental arch.

3.1Identify span and rise of the arch and locate in accordance with job plans and specifications.
3.2Place adjustable props appropriately to support the timber arch centre and adjust as necessary.
3.3Establish and mark position of the central key brick for easy identification.

4 Cut and lay bricks to position around the arch.

4.1Cut and lay bricks on the centre to form an arch to specifications.
4.2Maintain same sized wedge shape brick throughout the construction of the arch.
4.3Monitor and adjust measurements and placement of bricks accordingly to ensure accurate application of job requirements.

5 Complete and review finished work.

5.1Remove props and other support materials.
5.2Finish and clean construction to meet job requirements and professional expectations.

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCST4007 needs to address all 32 unit components: 5 elements with 15 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 5 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 CPCCST4007?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCST4007 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 CPCCST4007 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCST4007 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 CPCCST4007, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
