Practicals

16 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience with asset management tools and techniques, including condition monitoring, maintenance scheduling, and risk assessment. Learners will apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios using case studies and software simulations.

Practical Activities
  • Asset Lifecycle Costing Exercise — Learners calculate total cost of ownership for a sample asset, comparing acquisition, operation, maintenance, and disposal costs. (4h)
  • Condition Monitoring Simulation — Using simulated data (vibration, temperature, oil analysis), learners identify potential failures and recommend maintenance actions. (4h)
  • Maintenance Schedule Development — Learners develop a preventive maintenance schedule for a set of assets, considering manufacturer recommendations and operational needs. (4h)
  • Risk Assessment and Disposal Plan — Learners conduct a risk assessment for a critical asset and develop a disposal plan that includes environmental compliance. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total
Component Out of Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored) 100% 30%
Daily Average (multiple choice) 100% 20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) 100% 50%
Final Total 100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
