Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are integral to this course, allowing learners to apply theoretical knowledge in a controlled environment. Learners will gain proficiency in assembling, testing, and commissioning LPG systems, ensuring they meet industry standards and safety requirements.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Component Identification and Assembly — Learners identify and assemble LPG system components (regulators, valves, piping) on a training rig, following design specifications. (4h)
• Practical 2: Leak Testing and System Integrity — Learners perform leak tests using soapy water and pressure testing on assembled systems, and rectify any leaks found. (4h)
• Practical 3: Installation of a Residential LPG System — Learners install a complete residential LPG system (cylinder, regulator, piping, appliance connection) on a mock-up, ensuring compliance with standards. (6h)
• Practical 4: Commissioning and Troubleshooting — Learners commission an installed system and troubleshoot simulated faults (e.g., low pressure, leaks) to restore functionality. (6h)

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.
