What an assessment for CPPSSI6033 must cover
57 assessable components: 4 elements (19 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 35 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.

- 1.2Manage workflow to schedule and measure, record and report progress of activities in relation to agreed plans.
- 1.3Implement and maintain agreed communication processes between client and other appropriate persons.
- 1.4Devise and apply risk management and contingency strategies so that project complies with legal and statutory standards and organisational requirements.
2 Prepare for underground mine surveying.
- 2.1Consult appropriate persons and plans to identify underground mine survey objectives, specifications and constraints.
- 2.2Establish processes and procedures for undertaking underground surveying according to requirements.
- 2.3Identify surveying techniques applicable to the development of headings in underground mining operations according to project objectives and organisational requirements.
- 2.4Perform the required check and adjust of equipment prior to commencing survey tasks.
3 Conduct underground mine surveying tasks.
- 3.1Maintain situational awareness of potential hazards and risks.
- 3.2Measure or set out identified spatial components of mine design according to project specifications.
- 3.3Reduce measured spatial data for comparison with design.

Questions about assessing CPPSSI6033
What does an assessment tool for CPPSSI6033 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPSSI6033 needs to address all 57 unit components: 4 elements with 19 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 35 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 CPPSSI6033?
Auditori pulls the current release of CPPSSI6033 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 CPPSSI6033 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing CPPSSI6033 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 CPPSSI6033, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
