Title/name of the credential  Manual Metal Arc Welding 
Function of the micro-credentials / purpose   Program is designed on the needs of industry-specific skills. It is vocational training program. 
Possible target groups  Any interested person, idividuals can study on the program. 
Branch/sector of application  Engineering and engineering work 
Fields of application / work environment  Person can be employed in Engineering sectory. 
Typical work/professional tasks  1. Study and document the specific characteristics and advantages of manual electric arc welding technology, including its applications and limitations. 

 

2. Review and understand the working drawings, technological instructions, and technological maps to ensure proper execution of welding tasks. 

 

3. Organize the welding workspace efficiently and select appropriate equipment and tools for the welding process. Prepare these tools for immediate use. 

 

4. Prepare the materials and joints that need to be welded, ensuring they are clean and properly aligned. Secure them using tensioners to maintain stability during welding. 

 

5. Perform manual electric arc welding on the prepared parts, adapting techniques to accommodate various spatial orientations and positions. 

 

6. Process the welded seams as necessary, conduct quality control checks to assess the integrity of the welds, and correct any defects identified during inspection. 

 

7. Document the welding activities carried out, including details of the processes, materials used, and any issues encountered, to maintain accurate records. 

 

8. Adhere to all relevant labor safety regulations and guidelines to ensure a safe working environment during the welding process.

Validation   criteria  procedures 
There is formative and determinative assessment. Formative assessment may be conducted using both scoring and counting principles. Determinative evaluation provides for the use of a system based only on the principles of inclusion (based on the confirmation of competences) and allows the following two types of evaluation: 

a) the learning outcome has been confirmed; 

b) The learning outcome could not be confirmed. 

In case of receiving a negative result during the assessment, the student has the right to request an additional assessment of the achievement of learning outcomes before the end of the program.
