F o r e w o r d(This Foreword is not a part of EG3.0-9 6, Guide for the Training an d Qualification of Welding Personnel Level II - Advanced

Welder, but is included for information purposes only.)The Am erican Welding Society (AWS), recognizing the need for competent welders, through a grant by the U. S. D epartmentof Education (DOEd), formed the Education Grant Committee and assigned them the task of preparing this guide.Welding has become a very sophisticated and technical science, requiring not only mental application but also hands-onabilities. The future need for comp etent welders should prompt the establishment of a greater number of educational programs.Thus, it becomes imperative that the training given be of a quality and quantity that adequately prepares trainees for industrialassignments at various levels of skill developm ent well into the next century. To this end Level II - A dvanced Welders come to theworkforce possessing a prerequisite amount of knowledge, attitudes, skills and habits required to perform proceduralized tasksunder general supervision, and complex tasks involving the use of theoretical knowledge and motor skills under close supervision.As the name implies, it is the intent of this document to serve as a Guide for those wishing to establish, expand, or enhance aprivate or public training program for Level II - A dvanced W elders. The basic requirements contained in this document areestablished as a result of individuals from a broad range of businesses, job classifications and industrial or educational areasparticipating in a national survey to identify welder skills. In conjunction with indu stry's response and the AWS E ducation G rantCommittee's consensus, this document establishes the minimum requirements necessary to standardize the training andqualification of Level II - Advanced W elders throughout the United States of Am erica. Mem bers of the AWS community and theEducation Grant Committee have a growing interest in positively promoting welder training and providing minimum standards forit's delivery.The American Welding Society welcomes comments on this publication, and communications should be addressed to: The

American Welding Society, Attention: Director of Education, 550 N. W. LeJeune Road, Miami, Florida, 33126.

143. Curriculum Guidelines

3.1 General Guidelines. It is the sole intent of this document to define a competency-based weldingcurriculum . The course structure of this curriculum is not sequenced for linear delivery (i.e. fromcourse A to B. etc.). Therefore, it is the responsibility of the post-second ary or employer-base d trainingprogram to establish any guidelines for the duration of training, prerequisites related to basic skills andsequencing of instructional activities. Training activities should consistently reinforce the use of basicskills (i.e. reading, writing, math and communications) and previously acquired entry level welderskills.

3.1.1 Preassessment. The w elding industry w ants advanced welders with strong reading, writing,mathematics, listening and oral communication, and employability skills that are closely related to jobperform ance. The curriculum in this guide also requires sufficient basic skills to carry out and completethe training. Therefore, it is strongly recom mended that prospective trainees undergo a preplacementassessmen t for basic skill com petency prio r to entry into the welding pro gram . Further, the com petencylevel for said skills should meet the Grade Level Content or GED Level for the applicable welder level,as defined by federal or state guidelines.

3.1 .2 Curriculum Conventions. Terminology associated with the curriculum Guidelines is definedas follows:Competency-Based Program Outline: The outline converts the primary occupation (i.e. Level II -Advanced Welder), occupational specialties (e.g. arc welding), sub-specialties (e.g. shielded metal arcwelding) and tasks (e.g. Perform Safety Inspections of Equipment and Accessories) to a program title

(i.e. Level II - Advanced Welder Training), courses (e.g. Course B: Arc Welding Principles andPractices), units (e.g. Unit #1: Shielded Metal Arc Welding) and learning objectives (e.g. LearningObjective # 1 : Perform safety inspe ction of equipm ent and accessories.) The outline assists inmodularizing the training prog ram.

Learning Objectives: A written statement cast in the future which defines the conditions underwhich learning will occur and the criteria for determ ining when the objective has been attained. Thefollowing elements comprise a learning objective:Title: A phrase that specifies the activity. The title of a learning o bjective is the same as the title ofthe task from which it was derived.Performance Conditions: A statement which defines the "givens" under which the trainee willperform the objective. In most instances , the cond itions define the teaching m ethods, the equipmen t,tools materials and supplies given the trainee, and the learning environment where training takes place.Desired Behavior: A statement, written in the future tense, specifying the activity to be performed.Evaluation Criteria: A statement which establishes the standard against which the trainee'sperformance of the objective is measured. The basic elements of evaluation may contain a productstatement (when the objective has been performed correctly), and if appropriate, a process statement.inspection, time limitations or repetitions of the objective performed by the trainee over a given periodof time.

7/28/2019 QC11

15Learning Modules: A learning module establishes the basis for individualizing the learningobjective of the training program . The se modules identify and organize learning activities for a learningobjective.Learning Activities: An organizational concept that sequences training events in a systematicapproach for guiding trainees to a defined objective. Learning activities consist of knowledge-related

activities and performance-related activities. Knowledge-related learning activities are divided into twotypes: knowledge acquisition - sources of information which provide the know ledge needed to performthe learning activity; and information review and testing (formative testing) activities which guide theinstructor in reviewing and assessing the trainee's performance of the learning objective. Kno wledg e-related learning activities are brought to a close with the trainee's successful completion of a relatedinformation test (formative testing). Perform ance-related learning activities prov ide the instructor witha means by which to guide the trainee in attaining the objective. Utilizing the now -acquired technicalinformation to guide his or her actions, the trainee receives a demonstration of the objective, practicesperforming it until an acceptable level of skill and confidence is gained, and takes a performance test(i.e. work man ship qualifications) of the same to confirm mastery of the objective. Other pe rforma nce-related activities may be included in the basic sequence, but the dem onstration-practice-perform ancetrilogy is fundamental to ordering performance-related activities.

Workmanship Qualification: A practical application test with elements that include drawinginterpretation, fabrication, and weldin g symb ol interpretation. The test is evaluated in three stages andeach stage must be completed co rrectly before m oving to the next. The first stage is the preparation of abill of materials in U. S. customary units of measure, then conversion of those units of measure to SIme tric units. The first stage measu res draw ing interpretation and basic math skills. Upon successfulcompletion of stage one, the trainee fabricates and assembles the weldment. The second stage measuresfabrication skills. Upon successful com pletion of the second stage, the trainee welds the assemblyaccording to welding sym bol information. The final stage mea sures a trainee's ability to interpretwelding symbo l information and use of man ipulative skills. All stages of testing are evaluated usingvisual exam ination criteria. W orkm anship qualifications are summative tests and may be conducted atany time during training, once the trainee has completed skills training for the welding and cuttingprocesses specified. (Refer to Figures 2 through 6.)Closed Book Examination: A practical knowledge test for welding related know ledge. Thisexamination will measure the trainee's knowledge, comprehension and application of major subjectma tter concepts from classroom instruction. This summative test is administered at the end of thetraining cycle, before standard performance qualification.Performance Qualification: A practical application test of manipulative skills using all arc welding

processes required by AWS QC11, Specification for the Qualification and C ertification for Level II -Advanced Welders. Performance is measured using visual examination and bend test criteria. Thissummative test is cond ucted at the end of the training cycle. The trainee shall pass the closed bookexam ination before taking this set of tests. (Refer to Figure 7). Participating O rganizations m ay elect touse, or become, AWS Accredited Test Facilities under the requirements of AWS QC4, Standard forAccreditation of Test Facilities for AW S Certified Welder Program and administer performancequalifications, then certify advanced welders according to the requirements of AWS QC7, Standard forAWS Certified Welders and section 4. Optional Welder Qualification - AWS Q C7 - Certified Welders ofthis guide.
