Perform manual metal arc welding

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to prepare and weld components using the manual metal arc welding (MMAW) process.

It applies to those in an automotive manufacturing environment and involves the application of skills and knowledge at a specialist level.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit in some jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Resourcesmust include:

manual metal arc welding equipment

materials and equipment for preventing distortion during welding, including braces, clamps, jigs and fixtures

materials for welding

materials and equipment for non-destructive testing of welds

workplace welding standards relevant to the work being performed.

Workplace procedures must include:

operating procedures of manual metal arc equipment

procedures for recording and reporting manual metal arc welding processes

WHS and environmental requirements relating to manual metal arc welding procedures.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
