What an assessment for CPPUPM3010 must cover

161 assessable components: 6 elements (25 performance criteria), 32 performance evidence and 100 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.
