What an assessment for CPPSSI4035 must cover

33 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 10 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 Prepare for spatial analysis.

  • 1.1Clarify task requirements to address the issue under consideration with appropriate persons.
  • 1.2Apply appropriate work practices for safe screen-based work.
  • 1.3Access, interpret and manipulate spatial datasets to confirm they are in acceptable format to meet task requirements.
  • 1.4Identify and resolve routine spatial data problems or irregularities with geometry and attributes and resolve with appropriate persons.
  • 1.5Use spatial and attribute queries to select features from vector and aspatial text databases.
  • 1.6Determine accuracy of query results on vector and raster datasets by cross-referencing in tabular and cartographic view.
  • 1.7Generate and use univariate statistics to explore the dataset.

2 Undertake spatial analysis.

  • 2.1Manipulate existing data and integrate new data according to task requirements.
  • 2.2Use vector and raster geoprocessing techniques to generate results relating to spatial task.
  • 2.3Check that outputs of analysis are correct and applicable.

3 Produce reports.

  • 3.1Compile information on the limitations and assumptions of the datasets and the geoprocessing techniques used according to task and organisational requirements.
  • 3.2Present summary statistics and results using tabular, cartographic and graphic methods according to task requirements.
  • 3.3Incorporate results for all sources into reports according to organisational requirements.
  • 3.4Comply with legislative and ethical requirements for producing reports based on spatial data analysis.

4 Finalise data analysis.

  • 4.1Check output spatial data for completeness and manipulate where necessary according to organisational requirements.
  • 4.2Create metadata according to organisational requirements.
  • 4.3Store spatial data in a secure location and record details according to organisational requirements.
  • 4.4Comply with organisational requirements for documentation and storage relating to audit trails, naming standards, templates and version control.

Performance evidence

  • To demonstrate competency a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria of this unit by using geographic information system (GIS) software applications to integrate data and show spatial patterns and relationships for identified issues for two different projects. The candidate must manage and manipulate the following, presenting the results accurately and meaningfully using maps, tables and graphs:
  • thematic and continuous raster datasets
  • aerial and satellite imagery
  • point, line and polygon vector datasets
  • aspatial text datasets.

Knowledge evidence

  • key features of spatial reference systems
  • metadata fields relating to accuracy, currency, extent, availability and datasets
  • legislative requirements for accessing, manipulating, reporting and archiving spatial data, including data privacy, copyright and licensing
  • querying and browsing techniques for obtaining information from datasets
  • calculation and interpretation of univariate statistics: average, median and mode; maximum and minimum; range; standard deviation; variance; graphical methods for representing distributions
  • vector and raster data models
  • raster geoprocessing techniques: reclassifying; resampling; combining raster datasets; extracting from raster datasets
  • vector geoprocessing techniques: buffer; clip; dissolve; intersect; merge; union; erase; reproject
  • file formats for map production
  • spatial data storage technology.

Questions about assessing CPPSSI4035

What does an assessment tool for CPPSSI4035 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPSSI4035 needs to address all 33 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 CPPSSI4035?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPSSI4035 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 CPPSSI4035 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPSSI4035 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 CPPSSI4035, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
