• 1.3Consult with stakeholders as required.
• 1.4Select and check the serviceability of appropriate tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE).
• 1.5Prepare the work area in which the design process is to be conducted.

2 Determine system requirements.

• 2.1Obtain and confirm information specifications for the required work.
• 2.2Specify regulations and standards relevant to the work.
• 2.3Identify and extract relevant data from relevant job plans and specifications, codes, Australian Standards, manufacturer’s specifications and jurisdictional requirements.
• 2.4Identify and establish building classification and hazard ratings according to standards and other relevant regulations.

3 Design sprinkler system.

• 3.1Establish water supply needs and draw graphs for the automatic fire sprinkler system.
• 3.2Size pipework to manufacturer specifications and standards using hydraulic calculations.
• 3.3Design sprinkler system to meet plan specifications, standards, manufacturer’s recommendations and water supply data.
• 3.4Select sprinkler heads of appropriate size, spray pattern, temperature and finish.
• 3.5Plot sprinkler spacing according to manufacturer’s specifications, standards and relevant statutory and regulatory authority regulations.
• 3.6Create pipe layout drawings according to standards and workplace requirements.

4 Finalise work.

• 4.1Document calculations and other supporting evidence to support design.
• 4.2Optimise material specifications according to standards from the proposed design.
• 4.3Prepare fabrication sheets and material lists.
• 4.4Record plans according to regulatory authorities’ and workplace requirements.

What does an assessment tool for CPCPFS4024 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCPFS4024 needs to address all 56 unit components: 4 elements with 19 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 34 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 CPCPFS4024?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCPFS4024 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 CPCPFS4024 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCPFS4024 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 CPCPFS4024, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
