What an assessment for CPCCST2006 must cover

36 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 16 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 and prepare

  • 1.1Read and interpret relevant information to identify and use stone products from specifications, standards and codes.

Questions about assessing CPCCST2006

What does an assessment tool for CPCCST2006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCST2006 needs to address all 36 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 16 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 CPCCST2006?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCST2006 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 CPCCST2006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCST2006 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 CPCCST2006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
