WELDER APPRENTICESHIP ASSESSMENT
COURSE WDA3401: TOOLS & EQUIPMENT
Level: First Period Apprenticeship
Prerequisite: WDA3900: Apprenticeship Safety
Description: Students use workshop hand and power tools and develop proper material handling techniques.
Parameters: Access to a materials work centre, complete with basic hand and power tools, and to instruction from an individual with
journeyperson certification as a welder.
ILM Resources: Hand Tools 120101f; Power Tools 120101g; Materials Handling 120101k
This sample rubric is for assessing technical elements that students need to know to be successful if they challenge the first-period apprenticeship
exam. The rubric does not include the last two common outcomes that address the demonstration of teamwork and personal management and
identification of steps to achieve personal goals. It is the certificated teachers responsibility to ensure that all outcomes are taught and assessed.
Assessment Tools Notes
Checklist Prior to instruction, a copy of the checklist should be provided to the student to review outcomes that will need to
be demonstrated.
The student may use this checklist as a guide when completing this course.
The teacher should review and sign the checklist when the course is complete to ensure student outcomes have
been successfully demonstrated.
Rubric Prior to instruction, a copy of the rubric should be provided to the student to review and reflect on meeting
expectations set out in the criteria.
This rubric may be used as one element of an assessment process. Teachers should use both formative and
summative assessments to ensure students competency in this course.
