What an assessment for RIICCM208E must cover
75 assessable components: 4 elements (19 performance criteria), 16 performance evidence and 38 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 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.

- 2.2Re-establish earthwork and pavement control lines from offsets and/or recovery pegs
- 2.3Establish drainage offsets from survey control
3 Set up and use levelling device
- 3.1Identify heights to be transferred or established from project plans or instructions
- 3.2Set up and use levelling instruments and complete levelling according to job requirements
- 3.3Transfer heights from the known to the required
- 3.4Document results of levelling procedure according to site requirements
4 Conduct housekeeping activities
- 4.1Clear work area and dispose of or recycle materials according to site requirements
- 4.2Clean and maintain condition of equipment, confirm suitability for use, and address and report issues as required within scope of own role
- 4.3Manage and report hazards, and maintain a safe working environment
- 4.4Process records according to site requirements
Performance evidence
- carry out basic levelling on at least two occasions, including:
- using an automatic level on at least one occasion
- using closed traverse which utilises either the height of instrument or rise and fall method of reduction on at least one occasion
- conducting a peg test with an automatic level to confirm instrument meets manufacturer tolerances
- recording results of each levelling procedure according to organisational requirements.
- During the above, the candidate must:
- locate and apply required legislation, documentation, policies and procedures
- identify, report and record hazards and risks
- implement the requirements, procedures and techniques for basic levelling including:
- selecting and using required tools and equipment
- carrying out basic levelling mathematics
- following basic civil construction processes
- work with others to complete basic levelling that meets required outcomes, including:
- communicating with others to receive and clarify work instructions
- using communication techniques and equipment to convey information to others, including signage to advise others of work activity and exclusion zones
- complying with reporting requirements and procedures.
Knowledge evidence
- legislation required to carry out basic levelling
- policies, procedures and documentation required to carry out basic levelling, including those relating to:
- hazard and risk management
- work health and safety
- emergency response
- site and equipment safety
- environmental protection waste management
- communication techniques and equipment
- workplace recording and reporting
- site isolation and traffic control responsibilities
- operational, maintenance and basic diagnostic procedures
- project quality requirements
- job plans and specifications
- housekeeping activities, including:
- cleaning up work area
- cleaning and maintaining condition of equipment
- waste management
- processing records
- principles and techniques required to carry out basic levelling, including those related to:
- organising work activities
- levelling tasks
- tolerance checks, including:
- two peg test for automatic level
- reverse readings for spirit level
- reading and applying civil construction plans
- basic symbols
- levelling procedures, including:
- open or close traverse utilising height of instrument
- rise and fall methods of reduction
- types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations of plant and equipment required to carry out basic levelling, including:
- spirit levels
- wooded or steel pegs
- straight edges
- hammers
- chalk lines
- materials safety data sheet (SDS) compliance processes
- components of job safety analyses (JSAs), job safety environmental analyses (JSEAs), and safe work method statements (SWMs)
- civil construction terminology related to carrying out basic levelling.
Foundation skills
- Numeracy: Calculates basic measurements including mass and dimensions
- Oral communication: Uses communication techniques and systems to communicate with others

Questions about assessing RIICCM208E
What does an assessment tool for RIICCM208E need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RIICCM208E needs to address all 75 unit components: 4 elements with 19 performance criteria, 16 performance evidence requirements, 38 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 RIICCM208E?
Auditori pulls the current release of RIICCM208E 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 RIICCM208E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing RIICCM208E 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 RIICCM208E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
