up the welding equipment, carrying out advanced manual
metal arc welding (MMAW), inspecting for and correcting
defects, and maintaining the weld records.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

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:

  • welding to conform to Australian Standard 1554 Structural Purpose, Bureau Det Norse Verticas or equivalent;
  • interpreting weld requirements and specifications;
  • entering information onto proformas and standard workplace forms;
  • interpreting technical drawings and weld specifications relating to advanced MMAW;
  • using hand and power tools to prepare and weld material using MMAW;
  • using measurement and numeracy skills relating to advanced MMAW and preparation;
  • selecting equipment and consumables appropriate to the task, and;
  • using visual identification of faults/defects.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

  • in-depth knowledge of the properties and characteristics of a wide range of materials;
  • requirements to conform to Australian Standard 1554 Structural Purpose, Bureau Det Norse Verticas or equivalent;
  • weld procedures and requirements;
  • different welder identification systems such as numbering, bar coding, paint coding, letter stamps;
  • safety requirements;
  • safe welding practices, and;
  • use and application of personal protective equipment for MMAW.
