What an assessment for FBPPHM3013 must cover

46 assessable components: 3 elements (15 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 16 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 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 granulation process for operation

1.1Confirm materials and equipment are available and meet production requirements
1.2Select and fit personal protective equipment and contamination prevention clothing according to workplace procedures
1.3Fit and adjust machine components and attachments according to production requirements and equipment operation and maintenance manual
1.4Enter processing and operating parameters according to safety and production requirements
1.5Conduct pre-start checks according to workplace requirements

2 Operate and monitor granulation process

2.1Start up and monitor granulation process to confirm specifications are within required limits
2.2Identify and report out of limit granulated products or processes according to workplace procedures
2.3Maintain work area according to workplace cleaning standards
2.4Conduct process according to safety and environmental requirements
2.5Contain, remove and report spillages according to workplace procedures
2.6Complete documentation according to workplace procedures

3 Shut down the granulation process

3.1Confirm the workplace procedures for shutting down the process
3.2Complete end-of-batch procedures according to batch instructions and workplace procedures
3.3Safely shut down the process
3.4Complete records according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

accessed workplace information to confirm production requirements for the granulation process
confirmed supply of necessary materials and services, including checking raw materials meet batch requirements
selected, fitted and used personal protective equipment and contamination prevention clothing
conducted pre-start checks required for the safe operation of the granulation process: • carrying out required area or line clearances • inspecting equipment condition to identify signs of wear • confirming all safety equipment are in place and operational • confirming that equipment is clean or sanitised • confirming that equipment is correctly configured for processing requirements
started, operated, monitored and adjusted a granulation process to achieve required outcomes, including: • interpreting and implementing batch instructions • supply and flow of materials to and from the granulation process • conducted in-process control checks to confirm the process remains within limits • sampled and inspected product for conformance to specifications, including granule size • taken corrective action in response to a non-conformance
followed end-of-batch procedures, including: • line clearance and cleaning • yield calculation • materials reconciliation • product labelling
safely shut down the process according to workplace procedures
cleaned and maintained work area to meet workplace cleaning standards and environmental requirements
completed records according to workplace procedures

Questions about assessing FBPPHM3013

What does an assessment tool for FBPPHM3013 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for FBPPHM3013 needs to address all 46 unit components: 3 elements with 15 performance criteria, 9 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 FBPPHM3013?

Auditori pulls the current release of FBPPHM3013 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 FBPPHM3013 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing FBPPHM3013 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 FBPPHM3013, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
