What an assessment for CPCCLTC4002 must cover

124 assessable components: 4 elements (27 performance criteria), 21 performance evidence and 76 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 Plan task.

  • 1.1Review task instructions, consult with relevant persons to seek clarification as required, and obtain relevant workplace information.
  • 1.2Obtain and interpret information, including safe work method statements (SWMSs), required to ensure that activities are performed in compliance with workplace-specific and safe work requirements.
  • 1.3Obtain and interpret information required to ensure that equipment inspection, use, maintenance and storage complies with manufacturer requirements.
  • 1.4Identify workplace and task-specific hazards, including, where relevant, hazards associated with working at heights, and determine required risk controls and safety measures and equipment.
  • 1.5Calculate load weight in consultation with relevant persons.
  • 1.6Consult with relevant persons to confirm that load weight is within the rated capacity of the crane and the working load limit (WLL) of the lifting gear.
  • 1.7Determine and inspect crane and load movement paths.
  • 1.8Confirm implementation of and compliance with traffic management plan.
  • 1.9Establish required communication methods with relevant persons.
  • 1.10Establish and maintain communication with relevant persons to ensure lift plan and risk controls are communicated clearly, including any impact on other workplace activities.

2 Prepare for task.

  • 2.1Check signs and labels to ensure visibility and legibility.
  • 2.2Assess wind and other adverse weather conditions and determine whether their impact on the crane and loads is within the manufacturer requirements for safe operation.

  • 3.4Use radio and interpret hand and whistle signals to communicate with licensed dogger.
  • 3.5Lower and land load, allowing lifting gear to be disconnected.

4 Shut down and secure crane.

  • 4.4Safely exit the area from which the crane has been operated.
  • 4.5Report and record any damage or defects.

Performance evidence

  • To demonstrate competency in this unit, a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria by safely operating a self-erecting tower crane with a maximum rated capacity of at least 2000 kg to move at least four loads of different shapes, sizes and weights in conjunction with a licensed dogger slinging and guiding loads.

  • identify hazards and implement appropriate risk controls and safety measures and equipment
  • confirm that load weight is within the rated capacity of the crane
  • locate and interpret signs and labels
  • check and use safety devices
  • lift and move loads using the main hook through an obstacle course, including a 90-degree minimum slew, using all crane operational controls:
  • trolleying levers
  • hoisting and lowering levers
  • slewing levers
  • use two-way radio and interpret hand and whistle signals to communicate with licensed dogger
  • implement shutdown procedures
  • luffing, as applicable, or trolleying
  • slewing
  • hoisting and lowering
  • a load of more than 50% of the configured capacity of the crane
  • stillage containing at least ten scaffolding standards or loose steel pipes of 200 kg or more that requires a licensed dogger to sling
  • an uneven load that requires slinging
  • a round load with a minimum diameter of 300 mm and minimum length of 3 m that requires slinging

Questions about assessing CPCCLTC4002

What does an assessment tool for CPCCLTC4002 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCLTC4002 needs to address all 124 unit components: 4 elements with 27 performance criteria, 21 performance evidence requirements, 76 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 CPCCLTC4002?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCLTC4002 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 CPCCLTC4002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCLTC4002 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 CPCCLTC4002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
