This unit is designed for use in a pre-employment skills introduction program and is suitable for use in institutional-based vocational programs. Skills development will take place under direct supervision.
This unit is not to be used in a traineeship or apprenticeship training program or associated qualifications. It is only to be used in pre-employment programs and carries no credit towards apprenticeship/trade and other qualification types in manufacturing and engineering.
This unit should be integrated with the work in the project unit, MEMPE006A Undertake a basic engineering project, and skills developed when required by the project.
The unit of competency covers the use of manual metal arc, gas metal arc and gas tungsten arc welding machines depending on their availability in the learning institution.
The welding is not required to meet any Australian Standard. Fillet and butt welds would typically be performed on low carbon/mild steels and aluminium if required. The basic settings for the welding machine and the welding materials will be supplied to the learner.
