HVAC Inspection and Testing Training

Learning Outcomes

• Plan and prepare for HVAC inspection and testing activities according to work instructions and safety procedures.
• Inspect HVAC components including filters, coils, fans, ducts, and controls for wear, damage, and operational efficiency.
• Perform functional tests on HVAC systems using appropriate tools and instruments to verify performance parameters.
• Analyze test results to identify faults, inefficiencies, or non-compliance with specifications.
• Document inspection and test findings accurately in reports and maintenance logs.
• Apply relevant health, safety, and environmental practices during inspection and testing procedures.

Target Audience

HVAC technicians, maintenance supervisors, and facilities managers responsible for the inspection and testing of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in commercial and industrial settings.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, a basic understanding of HVAC systems is recommended.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals are integral to the course, providing hands-on experience with inspection and testing tools on actual HVAC systems. Learners will apply diagnostic techniques, measure performance parameters, and compile inspection reports under supervision, ensuring competency in real-world scenarios.

Practical Activities

• Basic Inspection and Tool Familiarisation — Learners practice visual and mechanical inspection of HVAC components and become proficient with multimeters, manometers, and thermometers. (4h)
• Performance Testing and Measurement — Learners measure airflow, temperature, pressure, and humidity on a running HVAC system, and calculate efficiency metrics. (6h)
• Advanced Diagnostics and Troubleshooting — Learners diagnose simulated faults in electrical and refrigerant circuits using advanced tools like thermal imagers and vibration analyzers. (6h)
• Comprehensive Inspection and Reporting — Learners conduct a full inspection and testing on a live system, then compile a professional report with findings and recommendations. (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.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
