What an assessment for MEM05073 must cover

31 assessable components: 5 elements (15 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 8 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Determine job requirements

  • 1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • 1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
  • 1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
  • 1.4Identify job requirements including relevant standards and codes from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions

2 Prepare materials for welding

  • 2.1Prepare materials to achieve required weld requirements
  • 2.2Assemble and/or align materials to specification in accordance with SOPs

3 Select, assemble and set up welding equipment and consumables

  • 3.1Identify and select welding equipment and electrodes, accessories and consumables appropriate to material
  • 3.2Assemble and set up alternating current (AC) or direct Current (DC) welding equipment

4 Weld joints to specifications using GMAW

  • 4.1Apply appropriate distortion prevention measures
  • 4.2Ensure weld deposit is to specifications
  • 4.3Clean joints to specifications
  • 4.4Rectify any distortion using appropriate techniques

5 Ensure weld conformance

  • 5.1Inspect weld joints visually for conformance to specifications

  • 5.3Complete weld records in accordance with SOPs

Performance evidence

  • follow work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
  • identify and interpret specifications from drawings, sketches and verbal or written job instructions for performing advanced welding using gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process to AS 1554 Structural Purpose (SP) or equivalent on at least two occasions
  • select appropriate weld and joint preparation methods
  • clean and prepare materials for welding
  • weld materials to AS 1554 SP or equivalent using welding machines and electrodes on at least two occasions
  • apply distortion prevention techniques
  • rectify identified cracks or defects.
  • Where a volume and/or frequency is not specified, demonstration must be provided at least once.

Knowledge evidence

  • safe welding practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • properties and characteristics of materials used in GMAW
  • requirements to conform to AS 1554 SP or equivalent
  • purpose of pre-welding and/or post-welding heating and the methods of application
  • instructions, symbols, specifications, including bead size, bead placement, reinforcement and weld procedure sheet
  • weld specifications and requirements
  • different welder identification systems, including numbering, bar coding, paint coding and letter stamps
  • causes of weld cracks and defects and methods of rectification.

Questions about assessing MEM05073

What does an assessment tool for MEM05073 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM05073 needs to address all 31 unit components: 5 elements with 15 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 8 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEM05073?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM05073 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEM05073 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM05073 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEM05073, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
