What an assessment for CPPSSI5058 must cover

30 assessable components: 4 elements (15 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 12 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 Prepare for geodetic survey.

  • 1.1Analyse standards, specifications and information in plans and drawings to determine survey requirements.
  • 1.2Schedule key activities and timelines according to available resources, and project and organisational requirements.
  • 1.3Apply safe work practices, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and strategies to manage risk and contingencies according to organisational requirements.
  • 1.4Determine specialised equipment required for geodetic survey according to project specifications.
  • 1.5Check equipment for correct operation and functionality according to manufacturer specifications.

2 Plan geodetic survey.

  • 2.1Select relevant reference surface and projection plane for geodetic components to meet project requirements.
  • 2.2Obtain and validate existing survey control data according to project and organisational requirements.

3 Carry out geodetic surveying tasks.

  • 3.1Measure identified surveying components according to project specifications.
  • 3.2Reduce measured surveying data according to project requirements and specifications.
  • 3.3Validate and record measurements according to project specifications and industry-accepted standards.
  • 3.4Identify and resolve discrepancies between specifications and actual results according to organisational requirements.

4 Finalise geodetic survey.

  • 4.1Check survey for compliance with project and organisational requirements.
  • 4.2Notify appropriate persons of survey results according to organisational requirements.
  • 4.3Check and store surveying equipment in accordance with manufacturer specifications and organisational requirements.
  • 4.4Record technical information, complete survey documentation and archive data according to organisational requirements.

Performance evidence

  • To demonstrate competency a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria of this unit by conducting two different geodetic surveys.
  • The following equipment must be used: total station, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) software.
  • Each survey must include: application of relevant geodetic coordinate systems and reference points to survey activities, use of coordinate systems, including Map Grid of Australia and Geocentric Datum of Australia to manage surveying data.

Knowledge evidence

  • graphical and technical information in project specifications
  • common terms used in geodetic surveying calculations
  • standard survey plan design and presentation conventions
  • geodetic formulas for point-to-point calculations on Map Grid of Australia
  • reference surfaces, projection planes and coordinate systems for geodetic components
  • measurements and calculations relating to shape and size of the earth
  • data reduction techniques
  • concepts of algebra, geometry and trigonometry
  • accuracy and precision requirements for geodetic surveying data
  • coordinate systems that are compatible with GNSS
  • industry-accepted methods for error analysis and standards of accuracy
  • industry-accepted techniques for survey control.

Questions about assessing CPPSSI5058

What does an assessment tool for CPPSSI5058 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPSSI5058 needs to address all 30 unit components: 4 elements with 15 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 CPPSSI5058?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPSSI5058 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 CPPSSI5058 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPSSI5058 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 CPPSSI5058, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
