What an assessment for MEM05091 must cover

32 assessable components: 6 elements (15 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 11 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, drawings, job sheets or work instructions

2 Prepare materials for GMAW

  • 2.1Prepare materials to achieve the required weld requirements
  • 2.2Assemble and/or align materials to specification in accordance with SOPs

3 Select, assemble and set up welding equipment and consumables

  • 3.1Identify and select welding equipment and electrodes, accessories and consumables appropriate to material
  • 3.2Assemble and set up alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) welding equipment

4 Minimise and rectify distortion

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

5 Weld to job specification using GMAW

  • 5.1Ensure weld deposit is to specifications
  • 5.2Clean joints to specifications

6 Ensure weld conformance

  • 6.1Visually inspect weld joints for conformance to specifications
  • 6.2Rectify any weld defects with minimum loss of sound metal using correct techniques and tools
  • 6.3Complete 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 gas metal arc welding process (GMAW) to the specified standard
  • selecting appropriate weld and joint preparation methods
  • consistently weld materials to the specified standard or equivalent using alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) welding machines and electrodes while preventing distortion
  • rectifying any defects
  • completing weld records related to GMAW onto standard workplace forms.

Knowledge evidence

  • safe welding practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • types of gases and their uses
  • relationships between amperage/wire feed, voltage, gas flow, electrode and material
  • application of weld metal transfer (short arc and spray)
  • correct welding machine, leads, hand pieces and electrodes
  • material preparation
  • weld joint preparations
  • filler wire classification
  • causes of distortion for materials when welded
  • causes of weld defects and methods of rectification
  • standards for GMAW welding, including Australian Standard 1554 General Purpose (GP) and any other equivalent standards.

Questions about assessing MEM05091

What does an assessment tool for MEM05091 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM05091 needs to address all 32 unit components: 6 elements with 15 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 11 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 MEM05091?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM05091 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 MEM05091 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM05091 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 MEM05091, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
