This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to carry out routine manual metal arc welding (MMAW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW), using both steel and aluminium, for farriery activities. It covers determining job requirements, preparing materials and equipment and selecting appropriate welding techniques to ensure integrity of materials during welding process. Weld quality is not required to meet an Australian Standard or equivalent. Fillet and butt welds would typically be performed on low carbon/mild steels.

The unit applies to individuals who are required to weld to carry out farriery services across different equine industry sectors.

No occupational licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

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.
