What an assessment for CPCSPS4006 must cover

55 assessable components: 5 elements (21 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 30 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 to spray concrete for swimming pool and spa shells.

  • 1.1Access, read and interpret relevant concrete swimming pools and spas information from plans, specifications, codes and standards.
  • 1.2Interpret and apply work health and safety and environmental requirements relating to concrete spraying of swimming pool and spa shells.
  • 1.3Identify shape and finish of sprayed concrete and confirm with relevant person.
  • 1.4Determine concrete properties from specifications and calculate quantity.
  • 1.5Determine job priorities and sequence job tasks in consultation with others on site.
  • 1.6Schedule delivery of concrete and required plant and equipment in consultation with equipment operators.

2 Determine compliance with structural principles.

  • 2.1Establish swimming pool and spa reinforcing design meets the structural principle requirements for the shape, size and capacity of the swimming pool and spa.
  • 2.2Inspect reinforcement and components and check they are fixed as specified in structural plans and comply with standards and codes.

3 Prepare for concreting work.

  • 3.1Test delivered concrete for swimming pool and spa shell meets the stated specifications, standards and codes.
  • 3.2Conduct a pre-operation check on plant and equipment.
  • 3.3Check luminaires bonding, other cabling services, filtration and recirculation plumbing are correctly installed.
  • 3.4Confirm accuracy, stability and strength of formwork as required.
  • 3.5Mask and protect ancillary installations from concrete overspray.

4 Supervise spray and finish process to concrete shell.

  • 4.1Select, fit and use personal protective equipment appropriate for activity.
  • 4.2Establish starting point for application of concrete.
  • 4.3Direct the application of concrete to specified thickness and reinforcement coverage.
  • 4.4Control the spraying and shaping of pool shell contours, stairs and landing.
  • 4.5Observe and direct the even finish of walls, base, coving and stairs to specified dimensions and falls.
  • 4.6Check cleanliness and operation of recirculation system.

5 Clean up site.

  • 5.1Clear the work area and reuse, recycle or dispose of materials following workplace and environmental requirements.
  • 5.2Clean tools and equipment, check for serviceability, report any damage or faults and store and secure.

Performance evidence

  • evaluate the properties and performance of concrete and impacts on concrete integrity, and analyse the ability of concrete shell to withstand imposed forces and pressures
  • ensure consistent concrete thickness and coverage on steel reinforcing as specified
  • direct the shaping of concrete pool shell and finishing to obtain an even and defect-free surface in preparation for interior finish
  • apply specified concrete curing methods

Questions about assessing CPCSPS4006

What does an assessment tool for CPCSPS4006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCSPS4006 needs to address all 55 unit components: 5 elements with 21 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 30 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 CPCSPS4006?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCSPS4006 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 CPCSPS4006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCSPS4006 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 CPCSPS4006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
