A comprehensive training package is available for RTO's and TAFE's to deliver the Maintenance Welding Skillset, based on clustered training and assessment for the following group of units

• MEM05061 - Apply basic metallurgical principles to welding operations

• MEM05069 - Undertake advanced weld repair and maintenance

• MEM05071 - Advanced thermal cutting and gouging

• MEM05084 - Perform advanced welding using flux core arc welding process

• MEM05085 - Select welding processes

Secure access to resources  is available to authorised people by clicking on the button below. The resources are shown on this page in blue text, but without hyperlinks. 

This training package was developed and tested via the Maintenance Welder Upskilling Program. Following the successful outcome of MWUP, the resources have been redesigned to be suitable as a training resource package for RTO's. 

The MEM05069 learner guide is a designed as a standalone, but the assessment (Practical and knowledge) are designed for clustered delivery of the following units which are pre and co requisites to MEM05069

• MEM05061 - Apply basic metallurgical principles to welding operations

• MEM05071 - Advanced thermal cutting and gouging

• MEM05084 - Perform advanced welding using flux core arc welding process

• MEM05085 - Select welding processes

It is really not possible to write a standalone practical assessment for MEM05069 - it needs to be linked to a relevant advanced welding unit. The most relevant are FCAW and MMAW for typical structural repairs. This is why it is all clustered. 

Note that this does not assess for the pre-requisite lower level welding units (eg "weld using" and "perform routine", but it is quite straightforward to map them into the same assessments too if needed.

Maintenance Welder Competency microcredential

The MWC microcredential has been independently verified by Audit Express to provide all the required practical assessment evidence towards this cluster of units, and meets RTO standards. This is very important because most RTO"s do not have adequate facilities, equipment or Trainers to do the practical assessment for the maintenance welding skillset. This means that partner RTO's can now offer the Maintenance Welding Skillset using the industry based MWC microcredential to provide the practical assessment evidence, and focus on the remaining knowledge gap training and assessment. WQMS also has a comprehensive LMS to deliver the required training, which is available for license to partner RTO's. 

Visit the website to learn more about the Maintenance Welder Competency from an industry perspective. For details regarding how the MWC is designed, managed and delivered, please read the MWC Packaging and Mapping.  

Learner Guide

MEM05069  - Learner Guide

This is a comprehensive 250page textbook type learning resource that has been developed and written by WQMS

Clustered Delivery

Practical assessment

The practical assessment documentation has a focus on training core skills and upskilling  for maintenance welding. This is done using a range of specifically designed practice/training coupons for the various techniques and processes. 

The practical assessment is a summative assessment via the Maintenance Welder Competency. The reality is that the upskilling and practical delivery may be unfeasible, if not impossible for most RTO's to deliver. This is why we recommend to use the Maintenance Welder Competency as evidence for the practical assessment requirements, and then deliver gap training for the knowledge elements

• Practical - Student Workbook

• Practical - Assessment Workbook

• Practical - Delivery Guide

• Student Hand Tools Checklist

Knowledge Assessment

The knowledge assessment consists of 2 parts, mapped for clustered delivery of the 5 units. 

• Knowledge Assessment - Questions

  • This is a mix of multi-choice and short answer questions

• Knowledge Assessment - Case Studies Answer Guide

• Knowledge Assessment - Case Studies  Template

  • These are designed for the student to demonstrate specific knowledge that is difficult to properly assess via questions only

Training Slides - Classroom Based

Introductory Training Slides

These are designed for teacher lead delivery (eg in a classroom) for part of the clustered delivery course content. The purpose of these is to supplement the eLearning and introduce key concepts that are essential for the students to know prior to attempting the practical assessment.

• Theory Essentials - Part 1

• Theory Essentials - Part 2

MEM05069 Training Slides

These are designed for optional teacher lead delivery (eg in a classroom) for part of the MEM05069 course content. The purpose of these is to compliment the eLearning as the content will be new to most students. They do not to provide a complete training resource. 

• MEM05069 Slides - Maintenance Welding Fundamentals

• MEM05069 Slides - Fatigue Cracking Causes and Repair

eLearning

WQMS provide self paced training via an eLearning platform  that covers the knowledge requirements for the cluster of units. The Knowledge Assessments are also integrated into this platform. There is over 24 hours of training content, plus a range of assessments (multiple choice, short answer and case studies). 

This is available to partner RTO's to use for their students on a simple fee per student basis - fully managed by the RTO for student enrolment, marking etc. 

Mapping 

The following are the mapping documents for the cluster of units.  The Maintenance Welder Competency is fully mapped to all practical assessment elements.
