What an assessment for FBPTEC4022 must cover

30 assessable components: 2 elements (12 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 15 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Set up for starter culture production

1.1Identify hazards in the starter culture production and manage risks
1.2Clean and sanitise equipment and environment according to workplace procedures
1.3Identify specification for starter culture
1.4Confirm availability of raw materials to prepare starter
1.5Check quality of raw materials meets specification for starter culture

2 Produce starter

2.1Check the integrity of the yeast, bacteria and/or fungi to ensure it is clear of contamination
2.2Inoculate cultivation medium with yeast, bacteria and/or fungi, specific to product specification
2.3Mix medium with yeast, bacteria and/or fungi
2.4Incubate for specified time, in line with starter culture requirements
2.5Stop incubation process when starter medium reaches desired parameters
2.6Record details of process for traceability, in line with organisational and regulatory requirements
2.7Store starter for future use

Performance evidence

There must be evidence that the individual has prepared for fermentation by producing two different starter cultures from the following list, each on two separate occasions, that consistently meets specifications for the product: - yeast - bacteria - fungi - yeast and bacterial symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) - combinations of fermentation organisms above relevant to product.

Knowledge evidence

general fermented products that require a starter culture to begin the fermentation process
ideal temperature to promote enzyme activity, relevant to starter culture
specific starters used for different products, including yeast, bacteria, fungi, and yeast and bacterial SCOBY, or combinations of these relevant to product
contaminants that may affect different types of starters
natural starters versus commercial starters, including mothering process
typical basic tests, equipment and methods relevant to starter culture preparation, such as temperature, pH and humidity
sanitation requirements and purpose
instruments and measurements used for typical tests relevant to product, such as thermometer probe, pH meter, hygrometer and calibration requirements for each
acceptable parameters for typical test results
anaerobic and aerobic pathogen risks associated with starter culture preparation
air circulation requirements of specific starter cultures
possible effects of temperature fluctuations, relative humidity and air circulation on starter culture
workplace and/or legal traceability requirements
interpretation of test results, including simple calculations
methods for controlling atypical outcomes of tests, relevant to process

Foundation skills

Numeracy skills: Convert units involving multiples and submultiples Use fractions, decimals, proportions and percentages to determine responses to results Use volumes (ml, L) and weights (mg, g, kg) to describe product quantities Calculate dose (mg), average mass, mass percentage, density, moisture, relative and absolute humidity Determine ratios, such as mass to mass, mass to volume and volume to volume percentages Calculate concentration, such as g/100mL, mg/L and dilution ml/L
Get the work done: Think through options to identify and respond to atypical results of tests Trace and source obvious cause of artefact or malfunction

Questions about assessing FBPTEC4022

What does an assessment tool for FBPTEC4022 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for FBPTEC4022 needs to address all 30 unit components: 2 elements with 12 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 15 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 FBPTEC4022?

Auditori pulls the current release of FBPTEC4022 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 FBPTEC4022 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing FBPTEC4022 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 FBPTEC4022, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
