What an assessment for CPCCBL3002 must cover
41 assessable components: 6 elements (28 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 10 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 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.

- 1.8Check materials against the specifications and report non-conformities to relevant person.
2 Set out brickwork/blockwork.
- 2.1Set out and mark base brickwork/blockwork.
- 2.2Set out brickwork/blockwork gauge and bond.
- 2.3Set out and mark masonry veneer walls, load bearing brickwork, and corbelling.
3 Construct base brickwork/blockwork.
- 3.1Place materials ready for the work.
- 3.2Mix mortar to specified consistency.
- 3.3Locate, prepare and install damp proof course and weepholes.
4 Construct veneer walls.

- 4.2Position and correctly fix wall ties to framework.
- 4.3Install specified lintels to openings.
- 4.4Install flashings to window and door openings.
- 4.5Construct brickwork/blockwork walls to eaves height.
- 4.6Construct veneer gable maintaining gauge, level, plumb and straightness.
- 4.7Locate and form control joints as specified.
- 4.8Cut and lay sill bricks to a line.
5 Rake/rule joints and clean face.
- 5.1Clean cavities of mortar droppings and bridging.
- 5.2Rake or rule joints to specified profile and depth.
- 5.3Clean face of brickwork/blockwork to remove unwanted mortar.
6 Clean up.
- 6.1Clear the work area, and dispose of, reuse or recycle materials following workplace and environmental requirements.
- 6.2Clean tools and equipment, check for serviceability and report damage or faults.
- 6.3Store and secure tools and equipment following workplace procedures.
Performance evidence
- constructing a minimum of 2.1 m long and 2.0 m high section of a masonry veneer building. In doing this, the candidate must: install weepholes, damp proof course; frame ties, lintels and loadbearing components, window and door frame, roof tie-downs and spread of fire requirements.
Knowledge evidence
- characteristics, applications and limitations of specified materials for masonry veneer construction: aggregates, cement and lime; mortar ingredients and consistency; clay and masonry bricks
- construction terminology relating to masonry veneer construction
- processes and techniques for masonry veneer construction: incorporating suspended floor; on concrete slab on ground; vermin control and anti-termite measures; damp-proofing, flashing and ventilation; fire control and separation requirements; frame tying components; lintels and load bearing components; timber, steel and aluminium windows; timber and steel door frames; gable and eaves construction; brick bond patterns; brick and block expansion and growth, control and articulation joints
- functional and operational features of plant, equipment and hand and power tools: battery operated tools
- workplace safety: job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA); work at heights; exposure to silica dust; exposure to loud noise; requirements to erect and dismantle restricted height scaffolds
- acceptable brickwork tolerances stated in Australian Standards and building codes
- fire resistance and stability
- key requirements of National Construction Code (NCC) relating to masonry veneer construction
- features of working drawing and specifications
- environmental requirements relating to workplace processes and waste disposal.
Foundation skills
- numeracy skills: use measurements and formulas to calculate materials; set out brick gauge and bond
- technology skills: use digital tools and devices to source job information and communicate effectively with others.

Questions about assessing CPCCBL3002
What does an assessment tool for CPCCBL3002 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCBL3002 needs to address all 41 unit components: 6 elements with 28 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 CPCCBL3002?
Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCBL3002 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 CPCCBL3002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing CPCCBL3002 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 CPCCBL3002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
