What an assessment for FBPGRA3019 must cover

50 assessable components: 4 elements (26 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 16 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 Steep grain

1.1Identify work requirements with relevant personnel, including batch requirements for steeping, germination, kilning and malt cleaning processes
1.2Select, fit and use personal protective equipment according to workplace health and safety requirements
1.3Confirm equipment status and condition
1.4Set up, start and monitor equipment according to operating procedures
1.5Transfer grain from storage into steeping equipment according to workplace procedures
1.6Place hoses or other wetting equipment correctly to ensure uniform hydration and to avoid damage to grain
1.7Immerse, drain and rest grain for the specified number of cycles
1.8Monitor moisture content of grain during air resting to determine when it is ready for transfer to germination vessels
1.9Discharge wastewater to treatment or holding or other facilities according to workplace procedures

2 Germinate grain

2.1Feed grain into germination vessel or floor according to workplace procedures
2.2Set up, operate and monitor turning and air blowing equipment to meet safety and production requirements
2.3Monitor green grain for humidity, temperature, moisture, chitting or acrospires, and general condition
2.4Adjust rate of turning, humidity and temperature according to specifications for malt type
2.5Transfer modified green grain to kiln according to specifications for malt type and results of laboratory testing

3 Operate kiln to produce malt

3.1Conduct first drying of modified grain
3.2Confirm germination has stopped according to workplace procedures
3.3Cure modified grain through correct combination of air flow and heat for malt product specification
3.4Confirm colour, moisture content and other required specifications
3.5Clean the malt according to workplace procedures and food safety requirements
3.6Transfer separated culm to storage according to workplace procedures
3.7Transfer malt to storage according to workplace procedures
3.8Complete processing records according to workplace procedures

4 Shut down process and complete work

4.1Identify appropriate shutdown procedure
4.2Shut down process safely according to operating procedures
4.3Clean and sanitise equipment according to workplace health and safety and food safety procedures
4.4Identify and report maintenance requirements according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

applying safe work practices
applying food safety procedures to work practices
controlling absorption of water by grain during steeping to achieve specified water content

contamination/cross-contamination and food safety risks associated with the scalping and grading process, and related control measures, including microbiological, physical, chemical and allergen hazards
contamination avoidance procedures for preparing malted grain, including: jewellery and loose objects in work area, security and access procedures to work areas, pest control procedures
appearance of grains before and after cleaning (deculming)
cleaning requirements associated with changeovers and types of shutdowns for preparing malted grain
purpose of moisture and acrospires testing within the malting process
health and safety hazards and controls relevant to preparing malted grain
cleaning and sanitisation procedures for malting equipment

Questions about assessing FBPGRA3019

What does an assessment tool for FBPGRA3019 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for FBPGRA3019 needs to address all 50 unit components: 4 elements with 26 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 16 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 FBPGRA3019?

Auditori pulls the current release of FBPGRA3019 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 FBPGRA3019 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing FBPGRA3019 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 FBPGRA3019, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
