This unit of competency has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson - Fabrication apprenticeship training and recognition of trade-level skills in the assembly of general fabricated components in plate, pipe and section or sheet in typical applications either on-site or in a fabrication workplace.
Skills covered by this unit are generally applied in occupational and work situations associated with steel fabrication, boilermaking or sheet metal work.
Work may be undertaken individually or as part of a team.
Where assembly involves using pre-constructed jigs unitMEM03001 Perform manual production assembly and unit MEM03003 Perform sheet and plate assembly, should also be selected as appropriate.
Where skills for the assembly of fabricated engineering components are required unit MEM18006 Perform precision fitting of engineering components should also be selected.
Where welds are required to meet legislative or regulatory requirements, then appropriate welding units should also be selected.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.
Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by Victoria University and/or via the Victoria University e-learning system.
