What an assessment for FBPGRA3017 must cover

48 assessable components: 3 elements (17 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 24 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.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare the equipment and process for operation

1.1Confirm materials are available to meet product recipe requirements
1.2Select, fit and use personal protective clothing and equipment according to safety requirements
1.3Identify and confirm cleaning and maintenance requirements have been met according to health, safety and food safety procedures
1.4Fit and adjust machine components and related attachments according to operating requirements and safety procedures
1.5Enter processing or operating parameters to meet safety and production requirements
1.6Carry out pre-start checks according to operator instructions

2 Operate and monitor equipment

2.1Start and operate the process according to safe operating procedures
2.2Monitor equipment and services to ensure optimal operations
2.3Identify any variation in equipment operation, and troubleshoot to identify solution
2.4Adjust equipment performance to ensure optimum performance
2.5Identify, rectify or report out-of-specification product or process outcomes
2.6Maintain the work area according to safe work and food safety procedures
2.7Maintain workplace records, including traceability and biosecurity records, according to workplace procedures

3 Shut down the process

3.1Identify the appropriate shutdown procedure
3.2Shut down the process safely according to operating procedures
3.3Identify and report maintenance requirements according to workplace procedures
3.4Ensure waste is disposed of in line with environmental requirements

Performance evidence

applying safe work practices
applying food safety procedures to work practices
adding and mixing ingredients, micronutrients and additives to meet product specification
taking corrective action in response to typical faults and inconsistencies.

Knowledge evidence

purpose and basic principles of each part of the process, including: volumetric metering, mixing, steam conditioning, pouring, pressing, cooling, adding and mixing in micronutrient and other additives to achieve specified proportions; sequencing of production to minimise transference and cross-contamination; traceability procedures; biosecurity procedures
basic operating principles of equipment, including: main equipment components; status and purpose of guards; equipment operating capacities and applications; the purpose and location of sensors and related feedback instrumentation; services required, and action to take if services are not available
basic operating principles of process control, including the relationship between control panels and systems and the physical equipment
good manufacturing practices (GMP) relevant to work task
the flow of the stock feed production process and the effect of outputs on downstream processes
quality characteristics and uses of finished stock feed
effect of variation in inputs and services on process performance
operating requirements and parameters, and corrective action required where operation is outside specified operating parameters
the effect on final product of variation in variables, including: oil and fat content; micronutrient and additive; consistency and appearance of mash, liquid or block stock feed; retention time and temperatures for steam conditioning, including consequences of temperatures that are too high and too low on chemical composition; retention time and temperature for liquid addition
typical equipment faults and related causes, including: signs and symptoms of faulty equipment; early warning signs of potential problems
methods used to monitor the mash, liquid or block feed process, including inspecting, measuring and testing
inspection or test points (control points) in the process, and the related procedures and recording requirements
common causes of variation, and corrective action required
contamination/cross-contamination and food safety risks and related controls
health and safety hazards and controls, including the limitations of protective clothing and equipment relevant to the work process
requirements of different shutdowns as appropriate to the process and workplace requirements, including: emergency and routine shutdowns; procedures to follow in the event of a power outage
routine maintenance procedures
cleaning and sanitisation procedures relevant for producing liquid, mash and block stock feed
isolation, lock-out and tag-out procedures and responsibilities
procedures and responsibility for reporting production and performance information
environmental issues and controls relevant to the process, including waste/rework collection and handling procedures related to the process
cleaning and sanitisation procedures for workspace and equipment
procedures to track traceability of product
procedures to ensure biosecurity requirements are met.

Foundation skills

Reading: Interpret standard stock feed orders and customer specification requirements; Operate equipment using digital screens
Writing: Complete processing records using digital and/or paper-based formats
Numeracy: Measure product and ingredients using weight (g, kg, T) and volume (ml, L), to two decimal points; Accurately scale recipes up and down; Accurately interpret readings on gauges and scales

Questions about assessing FBPGRA3017

What does an assessment tool for FBPGRA3017 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for FBPGRA3017 needs to address all 48 unit components: 3 elements with 17 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 24 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 FBPGRA3017?

Auditori pulls the current release of FBPGRA3017 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 FBPGRA3017 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing FBPGRA3017 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 FBPGRA3017, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
