• 1.3Select tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), check for serviceability and report any faults.
• 1.4Fit PPE correctly.
• 1.5Inspect work site, assess hazards and services, and apply risk controls, including required signage and barricades.
• 1.6Select materials required for task, calculate quantities, handle safely and prepare and position ready for use.
• 1.7Confirm team roles and verbal and non-verbal communication signals.

2 Carry out levelling procedures using rise and fall method.

• 2.1Set up and test instrument for operational effectiveness and accuracy.
• 2.2Set up or locate datum point.
• 2.3Take and record readings from the datum and at nominated or selected stations following project specifications.
• 2.4Identify backsights, intermediate sights and foresights, and book levels.
• 2.5Transfer instrument to another location, repeat process, and record change station and record readings.
• 2.6Calculate reduced levels for all stations using rise and fall method, and check accuracy of recordings using the three-check method.

3 Carry out levelling procedures using height of collimation method.

• 3.1Set up and test instrument for operational effectiveness and accuracy, and check tolerances.
• 3.2Set up or locate datum point.
• 3.3Take and record readings to datum and establish the height of collimation.
• 3.4Take readings at nominated or selected stations following project specifications, and record in field book.
• 3.5Transfer instrument to another location, establish new height of collimation, and record change station in field book.
• 3.6Calculate reduced levels using height of instrument method.
• 3.7Calculate reduced levels for all stations and record heights and levels in field book.
• 3.8Check accuracy of readings using height of collimation method of calculation and three check method.

4 Calculate distances using stadia lines.

• 4.1Calculate distances from instrument to stations using staff, stadia lines, and identified factor of levelling instrument
• 4.2Record readings and distances.

What does an assessment tool for CPCCOM3006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCOM3006 needs to address all 68 unit components: 4 elements with 23 performance criteria, 10 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 CPCCOM3006?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCOM3006 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 CPCCOM3006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCOM3006 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 CPCCOM3006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
