LPG Fault Finding & Maintenance Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply relevant safety regulations and standards when working on LPG systems.
• Analyze LPG system components and their functions to identify potential faults.
• Evaluate system performance using diagnostic tools and techniques to pinpoint malfunctions.
• Implement effective fault-finding procedures to isolate and rectify system issues.
• Demonstrate proper maintenance practices to ensure the safe and efficient operation of LPG systems.
• Design a systematic approach to troubleshooting and documenting maintenance activities.

Target Audience

This course is designed for technicians, maintenance personnel, and safety officers who are responsible for the installation, maintenance, and repair of LPG systems in residential, commercial, or industrial settings.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, it is recommended that learners have basic technical aptitude and an understanding of mechanical or electrical systems.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practical component is essential for learners to apply theoretical knowledge in a controlled environment. It involves hands-on exercises in leak detection, pressure testing, and component replacement to build competence in LPG fault finding and maintenance.

Practical Activities

• Safety Induction and Leak Detection — Learners practice safe handling of LPG cylinders and use soapy water and electronic detectors to locate leaks in a simulated system. (2h)
• Pressure Testing and Regulator Adjustment — Using manometers, learners measure system pressures and adjust regulators to specified outlet pressures, verifying performance. (3h)
• Component Replacement and Final Testing — Learners replace faulty regulators, hoses, and fittings, then conduct a full system integrity test including leak and pressure checks. (3h)
• Fault Diagnosis Scenario — Learners work through simulated fault scenarios, applying systematic diagnosis to identify and rectify faults in an LPG system. (2h)

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.
