Yes they will assess you in sheet metal, you need to know how to work out cone development etc this is paper based. Then you will use workshop tools etc to make something simple form sheet metal. Also I had to do a MIG weld test, a MMA test and for additional points I also did TIG. You will also need to show you can use burning tackle to cut out a circle from a piece of plate steel.

If you can do you job you will have no problem but I would not go for metal fabricator if you are only a welder.

Thanks for your reply, but i am a structural steel fabricator, and we do not do this cone development this is I think a job for sheet metal, are this sheet metal and a metal fabricator the same field for assessment???

Thanks...

I did the Metal Fabricator Heavy Fabrication practical and it covered geometry and sheet metal work in the small test papers we did and we also did some simple sheet work, folding etc, I think the VETASSES website gave a description of what is expected in the interview. But not personally doing sheet metal I am unsure but if you wanted to do the metal fabricator t sounds like you could pass that as it was very easy.

ukchris sir, Please give me some tips on metal fabricator assessment because I'll be going to this assessment after my ILETS, I did some assessment before at Tesda Philippines but in the field of welding not as a fabricator so I don't have any knowledge on how they will assess my skill as metal fabricator.. Are they going to assess me in actual? I'm a structural steel fabricator here in UAE now and my fear is that if they incorporate sheet metal in the assessment..Thanks

My OH has just done the metal fabricator assessment. He said it was all sheet metalwork in the assessment, didn't do any welding at all.

 

Is it crucial you do the sheet metal trades worker assessment? Have you checked the occupation ceilings for both? Which visa are you going for?

Hello hot welder...

Can you please give some points to review on the assessment for metal fabricator?? Because that is my occupation I applied for and after my IELTS I'll go to this assessment..

Please can you give me some information? Are they going to assess me in actual? I mean they are going to test me in actual fit-up and welding?
