What an assessment for MEM05093 must cover

32 assessable components: 6 elements (16 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 10 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 from specifications, sketches, 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 specifications in accordance with SOPs

3 Select, assemble and set up welding equipment and consumables

  • 3.1Identify and select welding machine settings and consumables from job requirements, welding procedures and specifications and/or technical drawings
  • 3.2Assemble and set up direct current (DC) welding equipment
  • 3.3Undertake test runs and verify in accordance with specifications

4 Minimise and rectify distortion

  • 4.1Apply appropriate distortion prevention measures
  • 4.2Rectify any distortion using appropriate techniques

5 Weld joints using submerged arc by correct process

  • 5.1Deposit pad, butt and fillet welds in flat, and fillet welds in horizontal position, to specification
  • 5.2Clean joints to specifications using techniques and tools appropriate to defect, material and process

6 Ensure weld conformance

  • 6.1Inspect weld joints visually for conformance to specifications
  • 6.2Rectify any weld defects with minimum loss of sound metal using correct techniques and tools
  • 6.3Maintain weld records in accordance with SOPs

Performance evidence

  • following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
  • identifying and interpreting specifications from drawings, sketches and verbal or written job instructions for welding using submerged arc welding (SAW) process to AS 1554 General Purpose (GP) or equivalent
  • selecting appropriate weld and joint preparation methods
  • consistently weld materials to the specified standard or equivalent using direct current (DC) welding machines and electrodes while preventing distortion
  • rectifying any defects
  • completing and maintaining weld records related to SAW welding onto standard workplace forms.

Knowledge evidence

  • safe welding practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • main types of fluxes and flux/wire combinations
  • typical applications of SAW and common materials
  • application of weld metal transfer (short arc and spray)
  • material preparation
  • joint preparations
  • electrode classification
  • causes of distortion for materials
  • causes of defects and methods of rectification
  • requirements of AS 1554 GP or equivalent.

Questions about assessing MEM05093

What does an assessment tool for MEM05093 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM05093 needs to address all 32 unit components: 6 elements with 16 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 MEM05093?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM05093 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 MEM05093 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM05093 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 MEM05093, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
