Overview of Assessment
Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written/oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards.
Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor. Feedback will be provided throughout the course.
Assessment Tasks
Students are required to complete three different types of assessment tasks
1. Assessment 1 - Underpinning questions ( 25% weighing)
2. Assessment 2 - Practical task , run of beads ( 25% weighing)
3. Assessment 2 - Practical task , Butt weld ( 25% weighing)
4. Assessment 2 - Practical task , Spot weld ( 25% weighing)
To successfully complete this unit, a student needs to be deemed competent (CA grade) in all both assessment tasks.
Grading Criteria:
NYC - Not yet competent
CA - Competence Achieved
DNS - Did not submit assessment
Assessment Matrix
Assessment Task Element/ PC Percentage Weighting
Assessment 1 - Underpinning questions 1.1 to 4.3 25%
Assessment 2 - Arc weld , run of beads 1.1 to 4.3 25%
Assessment 2 - Arc weld , butt weld 1.1 to 4.3 25%
Assessment 2 - Spot weld , Galvanised sheet metal 1.1 to 4.3 25%

Academic Misconduct
Students are reminded that cheating, whether by fabrication, falsification of data, or plagiarism, is an offence subject to University disciplinary procedures. Plagiarism in oral or written presentations is the presentation of the work, idea or creation of another person, without appropriate referencing, as though it is one’s own.
