2 Assemble and set up equipment

• 2.1Welding equipment is assembled and set up safely and correctly in accordance with operating procedures
• 2.2Defective equipment is tagged and replaced in accordance with organisational and manufacturer specifications

3 Weld rail using submerged arc process

• 3.1Pad, butt and fillet welds are deposited correctly in flat and fillet welds in horizontal position in accordance with specifications
• 3.2Joints are cleaned to specifications using techniques and tools appropriate to the defect, material and process

4 Inspect welds and correct faults

• 4.1Weld joints are visually inspected against specifications
• 4.2Track is measured to ensure welded track is within accepted tolerances
• 4.3Weld defects are identified and remedial action is taken, where required
• 4.4Defects are removed with minimum loss of sound metal using techniques and tools appropriate to the defect, material and process

What does an assessment tool for TLIW0044 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for TLIW0044 needs to address all 33 unit components: 5 elements with 16 performance criteria, 7 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 TLIW0044?

Auditori pulls the current release of TLIW0044 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 TLIW0044 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing TLIW0044 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 TLIW0044, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
