What an assessment for FBPPHM3019 must cover

47 assessable components: 4 elements (20 performance criteria), 13 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 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.

  • 4.3Clean work area according to workplace procedures
  • 4.4Complete records according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

  • accessed workplace information to confirm requirements for the process
  • selected, fitted and used personal protective equipment and contamination prevention clothing
  • conducted pre-start checks required for the safe operation of a chromatography separation process, including: - carried out required area or line clearances - inspected equipment condition to identify signs of wear - confirmed all safety equipment in place and operational - confirmed that equipment is clean or sanitised - confirmed that equipment is correctly configured for processing requirements
  • performed procedures for packing columns and for loading material into columns
  • started, operated, monitored and adjusted a process to achieve required outcomes
  • conducted in-process control checks to confirm the process remains within limits
  • maintained security, integrity and traceability of: - samples - sub-samples - documentation
  • followed isolation and lock out procedures to take process and related equipment off-line in preparation for cleaning and maintenance according to workplace procedures
  • performed product and process changeovers, including demonstrating column storage procedures
  • taken corrective action in response to out-of-specification results
  • safely shut down the process according to workplace procedures
  • cleaned and maintained work area to meet workplace cleaning standards and environmental requirement
  • completed records according to workplace procedures

Knowledge evidence

  • stages of the chromatography separation process, including: - the purpose, methods and outcomes of each stage - quality characteristics achievable by the separation process - methods of analysis
  • basic operating principles, requirements and parameters of chromatography equipment, including: - main equipment components, operating capacities and applications - consequences of incorrect equipment preparation, such as incorrectly positioned non-return valve, supply pump failure and air in the column - typical equipment faults and related causes, including signs and symptoms of faulty equipment and early warning signs of potential problems - line clearance cleaning and sanitation procedures - functions and limitations of personal protective equipment and contamination prevention clothing - pre-start check requirements, including: - carrying out required area or line clearances - inspecting equipment condition to identify signs of wear - confirming all safety equipment is in place and operational - confirming that equipment is clean or sanitised - confirming that equipment is correctly configured for processing requirements
  • sample test methods analysis and interpretation of results
  • implications and actions taken if results are out-of-specification
  • procedures used for: - collecting in process samples as specified in documentation appropriate to columns and process requirements - interpreting traces and corrective action where traces are not within specifications
  • typical profile for a production cycle and events to be monitored during the cycle
  • common causes of out-of-specification product or process and corrective actions required
  • procedures and requirements of different shutdowns, including: - an understanding of the requirements for column storage - emergency and routine shutdowns - procedures to follow in the event of power outage
  • isolation, lock out and tag out procedures and responsibilities
  • Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements associated with a separation process and related control measures
  • requirements for completion of workplace documentation

Foundation skills

  • Reading: Identify relevant information from workplace documentation and interpret requirements for the chromatography separation process
  • Writing: Complete workplace documentation using appropriate language and in required format
  • Numeracy: Interpret specifications for number of cycles and flow meters

Questions about assessing FBPPHM3019

What does an assessment tool for FBPPHM3019 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for FBPPHM3019 needs to address all 47 unit components: 4 elements with 20 performance criteria, 13 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 FBPPHM3019?

Auditori pulls the current release of FBPPHM3019 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 FBPPHM3019 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing FBPPHM3019 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 FBPPHM3019, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
