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:
- following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices;
- identifying and interpreting specifications from drawings, sketches and verbal or written job instructions and inspecting fabrication for defects/faults, non-compliance and determining suitability for repair/replacement/modification;
- selecting material, marking out and safely cutting, bending, rolling, shaping or forming ensuring minimum wastage using correct principles, tools, equipment and procedures;
- selecting appropriate welding equipment and preparing materials for welding, including pre-tack checks and set up jigs, fixtures and clamps;
- consistently welding materials while preventing distortion and rectifying any defects and ensuring repair, replacement and/or modification is cleaned and finished and visually inspected to meet predetermined specifications, and;
- completing and lodging maintenance report.
