What an assessment for AHCPRK403 must cover

50 assessable components: 3 elements (18 performance criteria), 10 performance evidence and 18 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare feeding plan and resources

1.1Identify and follow biosecurity procedures that apply to entering and working on a pork production site
1.2Determine feed quantities required from the production program
1.3Use relevant laboratory results when determining quantities and ration formulation of stockfeed in consultation with nutritionist
1.4Schedule and allocate responsibility for feeding according to production program and other relevant operational requirements
1.5Monitor and ensure feed systems are maintained regularly

2 Manage storage of feed

2.1Develop a plan for secure and hygienic storage of feed according to enterprise biosecurity procedures
2.2Allocate and monitor feed storage areas to meet enterprise hygiene, production and safety requirements
2.3Organise rotation and replenishment of feed supplies to maximise quality and meet quantities required for production
2.4Schedule pig feeding times according to their nutritional needs and enterprise equipment resources available
2.5Supervise calibration of feeding equipment and calculation of feed quantities to meet pig nutritional requirements

3 Supervise feeding

3.1Identify health and safety hazards to team members and pigs related to pig feeding tasks, and assess and control risks
3.2Check appropriate personal protective equipment is maintained and used by team members according to enterprise health, safety and biosecurity requirements
3.3Ensure that feed rations are supplied to pigs and recorded according to feeding plan requirements
3.4Ensure continuous supplies of potable water are available to pigs
3.5Provide pig feeding advice to team members as required
3.6Monitor and supervise pig feeding to minimise waste
3.7Monitor and record pig health and condition in response to pig feeding plan
3.8Evaluate and report implementation of feeding plan and related pig health and production outcomes according to enterprise procedures

Performance evidence

briefed at least one worker on their allocated feeding task/s, including confirmation of safety, personal protective equipment (PPE), biosecurity and animal welfare responsibilities
prepared PPE for at least one worker and ensured it is correctly fitted and used
checked feeding and watering systems and equipment required to implement pig feeding plan are operational
checked pig feed has been stored safely and securely according to enterprise quality and biosecurity requirements
monitored pig feeding and identified feed waste
ensured removal and/or reuse of unused feed and water according to enterprise procedures
evaluated and documented implementation of feeding plan and related pig health and production outcomes according to enterprise procedures
All performance evidence specified above must be demonstrated in a pork production site.

Questions about assessing AHCPRK403

What does an assessment tool for AHCPRK403 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AHCPRK403 needs to address all 50 unit components: 3 elements with 18 performance criteria, 10 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 AHCPRK403?

Auditori pulls the current release of AHCPRK403 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 AHCPRK403 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AHCPRK403 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 AHCPRK403, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
