What an assessment for CPCCBL3011 must cover

43 assessable components: 4 elements (25 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 12 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare for work.

  • 1.1Select, fit correctly and use personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate for job.
  • 1.2Read, interpret and apply curved wall construction requirements from current plans, specifications, standards and codes.
  • 1.3Follow requirements in workplace safety and environmental documentation and workplace procedures.
  • 1.4Calculate material quantities required for the task.
  • 1.5Determine job priorities and sequence job tasks in consultation with others on site.
  • 1.6Identify potential hazards and determine and implement control measures.
  • 1.7Select and check condition of plant, equipment and tools and report damage or faults.
  • 1.8Check conformity of materials against the specifications and place materials in preparation for the work.

2 Set out and lay curved wall.

  • 2.1Identify wall shape from job drawings and calculate curve using geometry.
  • 2.2Locate and set out curved wall using a trammel.
  • 2.3Set out wall length and height maintaining brickwork gauge and bond.
  • 2.4Mix mortar quality and consistency to job specifications.
  • 2.5Lay first course level and in line with curve set out.
  • 2.6Lay wall maintaining gauge, bond and alignment with vertical face maintaining a constant ‘V’ shape perpend joint.
  • 2.7Remove excess mortar and rake or rule joints to specified profile and depth.
  • 2.8Brush down face brickwork prior to mortar drying.

3 Set out and lay serpentine wall.

  • 3.1Identify wall shape from job drawings and calculate curves using geometry.
  • 3.2Locate and set out serpentine wall curves using trammel heads and trammel arm.
  • 3.3Set out length and height of wall maintaining brickwork gauge and bond.
  • 3.4Mark and cut required bricks to maintain equal perpend joints.
  • 3.5Lay bricks to curve set out maintaining bond, gauge and alignment with vertical face.
  • 3.6Remove excess mortar and finish jointing to meet the current Australian Standards.

4 Clean up.

  • 4.1Clear the work area, and dispose of, reuse or recycle materials following workplace and environmental requirements.
  • 4.2Clean tools and equipment, check for serviceability and report damage or faults.
  • 4.3Store and secure tools and equipment following workplace procedures.

Performance evidence

  • To demonstrate competency in this unit, a candidate must meet the performance criteria of this unit by setting out and laying two curved masonry walls to height of 600 mm.
  • construct one serpentine masonry wall to a minimum length of 4.0 m using the plotted points or template method and finished with appropriate capping
  • construct one curved masonry wall with a minimum rise of 290 mm and radius of 2.4 m using the trammel technique
  • comply with brickwork tolerances stated in the current Australian Standards.

Knowledge evidence

  • characteristics, applications and limitations of materials used for curved wall construction
  • processes and techniques for: calculating and setting out various size curves, curved wall construction, using measurements and formulas to calculate quantities
  • facets generated by curved walls
  • aspects and factors relating to curved walls
  • construction terminology relating to curved wall construction
  • wall types, movement of joints and bonding patterns
  • functional and operational features of plant, equipment, hand and power tools
  • workplace safety: job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA), hazardous manual handling, exposure to silica, exposure to loud noise
  • current and relevant Australian Standards relating to constructing curved walls
  • key requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) for constructing curved walls
  • features of working drawings and specifications
  • environmental and waste management requirements.

Foundation skills

  • numeracy skills: calculate various curves using geometry
  • technology skills: use digital tools and devices to source job information and communicate effectively with others.

Questions about assessing CPCCBL3011

What does an assessment tool for CPCCBL3011 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCBL3011 needs to address all 43 unit components: 4 elements with 25 performance criteria, 4 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 CPCCBL3011?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCBL3011 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 CPCCBL3011 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCBL3011 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 CPCCBL3011, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
