What an assessment for MEM05059 must cover
30 assessable components: 5 elements (15 performance criteria), 7 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

2 Prepare materials for welding
- 2.1Prepare materials to achieve required weld requirements
- 2.2Assemble and/or align materials to specification, where required
3 Select, assemble and set up welding equipment and consumables
- 3.1Identify and select welding machine settings and consumables appropriate to material, job requirements, welding procedure specifications and drawings
- 3.2Assemble, set up and adjust appropriate welding equipment
4 Weld joints to specifications using SAW
- 4.1Apply appropriate distortion prevention measures including pre and post-heat
- 4.2Operate SAW equipment and ensure weld deposit is to specifications

- complete and maintain weld records related to SAW structural purpose onto standard workplace forms.
Knowledge evidence
- safe welding practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
- properties and characteristics of SAW machines, materials and consumables used in SAW
- requirements to perform SAW to conform to AS 1554 SP or equivalent
- weld specifications and requirements
- purpose of pre-heat and/or post-heat and the methods of application
- instructions, symbols, specifications, including bead size, bead placement, reinforcement and weld procedure sheet
- different welder identification systems, including numbering, bar coding, paint coding and letter stamps

Questions about assessing MEM05059
What does an assessment tool for MEM05059 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM05059 needs to address all 30 unit components: 5 elements with 15 performance criteria, 7 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 MEM05059?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM05059 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 MEM05059 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM05059 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 MEM05059, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
