Description
The FDF41012 Certificate IV in Flour Milling targets people working in a technical leadership role in the flour milling industry. The Qualification includes technical, leadership and business skills and knowledge required to mill a wide range of flours for human consumption and ensure that operations are implemented and maintained to optimal performance. It also covers skills in monitoring the implementation of systems and procedures, and management functions of the organisation.
This Qualification applies to mill managers and senior supervisors above the shift miller level in the flour milling industry who supervise across departments and either set or participate in setting production and key performance indicators for the flour mill. It applies to flour milling operations for all types of grain including wheat, oats, barley, corn, rice, sorghum, millet, rye, and non-grain flours such as peas and arrowroot.
Units selected from other Training Packages must be relevant to the work outcome, local industry requirements and the Qualification level.
Note: AgriFood Skills Australia expects that the design of any training delivery and assessment program to support the achievement of this Qualification is based on:
- the context required by the industry and/or enterprise
- a holistic and integrated training delivery and assessment plan that identifies learning activities and evidence required
- flexible delivery options including on-the-job and work-based training that support the development of competency.
Pathways Information
Pathways into the Qualification
