What an assessment for CPPUPM3011 must cover

55 assessable components: 7 elements (38 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Performance evidence

Fumigate five different sites from the types listed below, according to the type of licence held: aircraft, building, burrow, chamber, container, sheeted stack, ship, silo, soil.
Fumigation must target one or more of the following organisms: arachnids, bacteria, fungi, insects, molluscs, moulds, plants, rabbits, rodents, seeds.

Knowledge evidence

chemicals’ routes of entry into the human body and potential symptoms of exposure
commodity absorption and desorption rates
compliance requirements associated with managing organisms by applying fumigants to commodities and environments in domestic, commercial, industrial and maritime situations: environmental requirements: clean up, containment or isolation of hazards; emergency chemical spill control measures; hazardous materials handling; regulations, by-laws and guidelines of environmental protection agencies and government departments; waste handling and disposal; industry guides, advisory standards and relevant industry codes of practice; key requirements of commonwealth, state and territory legislation and local government regulations: chemical use, registers and manifests; consumer protection; dangerous goods; fumigation regulations and licence requirements; mandatory notifications; privacy; public health and safety; quarantine requirements; work health and safety (WHS); public health and safety: licence endorsements and conditions or limitations; occupant notifications; record of site conditions; warning signs

Questions about assessing CPPUPM3011

What does an assessment tool for CPPUPM3011 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPUPM3011 needs to address all 55 unit components: 7 elements with 38 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 11 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 CPPUPM3011?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPUPM3011 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 CPPUPM3011 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPUPM3011 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 CPPUPM3011, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
