What an assessment for CPCCWF3009 must cover

37 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 15 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 waterproofing for wall and floor tiling.

  • 1.1Read and interpret task work instructions and plan sequence of work.
  • 1.2Select and use personal protective equipment (PPE) as required for each stage of the task.
  • 1.3Plan all work to comply with laws and regulations, Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements, manufacturers’ specifications, workplace requirements, drawings and specifications.
  • 1.4Inspect work site, assess hazards and apply risk controls, including required signage and barricades.
  • 1.5Select tools and equipment, check for serviceability and report any faults.
  • 1.6Select materials required for task, calculate quantities, handle safely and prepare and position ready for use.

2 Prepare for internal and external waterproofing installation.

  • 2.1Check wet area outlets and fixtures are set out to drawings and specifications.
  • 2.2Select waterproofing systems suitable for internal and external wet area applications.
  • 2.3Check waterproof system for compatibility with substrate material and tiling system.
  • 2.4Check that substrates have smooth and uniform finishes with specified fall ratio to drainage points.
  • 2.5Check substrate moisture content to comply with manufacturers’ membrane recommendations.

3 Apply waterproofing.

  • 3.1Prepare and prime substrates for waterproofing.
  • 3.2Install bond breakers/fillets, water stops and drainage flanges.
  • 3.3Apply waterproofing membrane to primed surface at correct thickness and allow to cure to manufacturers’ specification.
  • 3.4Perform final inspection and completion activities.
  • 3.5Protect waterproofing membrane.

4 Clean up.

  • 4.1Clear work area and dispose of, reuse or recycle materials.
  • 4.2Clean, check, maintain and store plant, tools and equipment in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations.

Performance evidence

  • waterproofing an internal wet area and an external wet area ready for tiling, including:
  • one shower area 1800 millimetres high, 900 millimetres x 900 millimetres wide, incorporating: a niche, tap penetrations, draining connection, water stop/hob, surrounds for an inserted bath with periphery barrier or water stop
  • a minimum of four square metres of balcony/deck: where the structural floor levels have a step down of no less than 40 millimetres from internal to external, the balcony/deck has fall to the drainage point, detailing is provided through threshold cross-section, indicating how waterproofing would terminate at balustrade posts.
  • All work must be performed to the standard required in the workplace and must comply with Commonwealth and state/territory laws and regulations, Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements, manufacturers’ specifications and workplace requirements.

Knowledge evidence

  • requirements of Australian Standards for setting out and applying waterproofing systems for wall and floor tiling to internal and external wet areas
  • types and uses of tools and equipment for applying waterproofing for wall and floor tiling
  • safety requirements Standards for setting out and applying waterproofing systems for wall and floor tiling to internal and external wet areas, including: job safety analyses and/or safe work method statements in accordance with Safe Work Australia Code of Practice for Construction Work or state and/or territory equivalent, personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • techniques and methods for waterproofing for wall and floor tiling
  • assessment and appreciation of moisture content in substrate materials
  • manufacturers’ specifications for compatible substrates, waterproofing systems, tiles and tile adhesives
  • characteristics and applications of: adhesives, liquid applied: water-based, cementitious, moisture-cured, sheet membranes: butynol, ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), expanded polystyrene (XPS), primer: water based, epoxy, bond breaker/fillet materials
  • construction systems and waterproofing considerations
  • penetrations and outlets, and termination and flashing principles
  • types and uses of materials storage and environmentally friendly waste management
  • types and uses of plans, drawings and specifications for waterproofing internal and external wet areas
  • requirements for different types of internal and external wet areas: showers, laundries, toilets, bathrooms, balconies
  • principles and considerations of water exclusion and processes for inspection and completion activities
  • processes for the calculation of material requirements for applying waterproofing for wall and floor tiling
  • compatible substrate and materials for waterproofing wet areas.

Questions about assessing CPCCWF3009

What does an assessment tool for CPCCWF3009 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCWF3009 needs to address all 37 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 15 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 CPCCWF3009?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCWF3009 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 CPCCWF3009 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCWF3009 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 CPCCWF3009, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
