What an assessment for CPPSSI5046 must cover

31 assessable components: 3 elements (15 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 13 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 road and stormwater system set-out.

  • 1.1Identify and interpret project requirements for road and stormwater system and plan activities in consultation with appropriate persons.
  • 1.2Access and analyse plans, drawings, maps, road and stormwater specifications and control marks to plan work tasks.
  • 1.3Select and prepare equipment according to manufacturer specifications and organisational requirements.
  • 1.4Use primary and secondary controls to check set-up of horizontal and vertical control to ensure achievement of precision according to project brief.
  • 1.5Identify hazards and safe work requirements, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for the project.

2 Perform a set-out survey.

  • 2.1Locate horizontal control points throughout the work area and set out coordinates according to plans and specifications.
  • 2.2Set out design points from base lines by offsetting, and check positions to ensure correct tolerances according to specifications.
  • 2.3Use set-out pegs or markers to indicate base lines and offsets relative to the work area.
  • 2.4Establish vertical control points to ensure design points are positioned at correct levels according to plans and specifications.
  • 2.5Place offsets to define the main lines of road and stormwater works.
  • 2.6Calculate gradients and volumes required for set-out survey according to industry-accepted standards.

3 Finalise road and stormwater system set-out.

  • 3.1Check measurements against plans and specifications for accuracy, correct plan position and reduced level of set-out.
  • 3.2Identify, report and address discrepancies between specifications and final set-out in accordance with organisational procedures.
  • 3.3Record field notes clearly and accurately.
  • 3.4Complete documentation and data storage according to organisational requirements.

Performance evidence

  • one project that sets out a stormwater system and associated engineering structures
  • one project that includes road set-out
  • For each project, the candidate must set out marks and lines to define the position and level of design points on site using two of the following pieces of equipment: total station, global navigation satellite system (GNSS), level, hand-held laser measuring device.

Knowledge evidence

  • types of stormwater systems and their purposes
  • types and features of roads
  • graphical information in plans, drawings and contour maps
  • reference and coordinate systems for surveying data, including Australian Height Datum and Map Grid of Australia.
  • types of pegs and markers used during set-out and methods for optimal placement on site
  • mathematical concepts relating to algebra, trigonometry and geometry relevant to calculating spatial measurements for roads and stormwater systems
  • methods for calculating surveying data and verifying its accuracy using primary and secondary controls
  • methods for calculating fall of land and volume
  • purpose of primary and secondary controls for set-out
  • methods for establishing a control network that meets specified tolerances
  • methods for setting up, levelling and checking calibration of equipment used to set out road and stormwater systems
  • methods for recording spatial data relating to set-out
  • industry-accepted tolerances for accuracy relevant to roads and stormwater systems.

Questions about assessing CPPSSI5046

What does an assessment tool for CPPSSI5046 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPSSI5046 needs to address all 31 unit components: 3 elements with 15 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 13 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 CPPSSI5046?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPSSI5046 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 CPPSSI5046 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPSSI5046 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 CPPSSI5046, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
