  • 4.5Check that the installed component is both level and plumb and in accordance with the set-out drawings and erection design documentation.
  • 4.6When the load has been fully secured and supported by the temporary supports, release the load from the crane, safely access lifting points and disconnect the lifting devices attached to the prefabricated concrete elements.

5 Clean up.

  • 5.1Clear work area and dispose of, reuse or recycle materials in accordance with regulatory and workplace requirements.
  • 5.2Clean, check, maintain and store tools and equipment in accordance with manufacturer and workplace requirements.

Performance evidence

  • determining the requirements for, and preparing for the lifting and placing of three prefabricated concrete elements in coordination with the crane driver and crane crew:
  • unloading, lifting, placing and temporarily securing one prefabricated element (that is at least 4 m x 3 m) by face-lifting the element
  • unloading, lifting and placing and temporarily securing one prefabricated element (that is at least 4 m x 3 m) by edge-lifting the element, and
  • unloading, lifting and conducting a mid-air rotation, placing and temporarily securing one prefabricated element (that is at least 7 m x 3 m).

Questions about assessing CPCPRE3000

What does an assessment tool for CPCPRE3000 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCPRE3000 needs to address all 57 unit components: 5 elements with 35 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 CPCPRE3000?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCPRE3000 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 CPCPRE3000 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCPRE3000 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 CPCPRE3000, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
