Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical exercises are essential to develop hands-on skills in LPG handling, distribution, and emergency response. These sessions allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge in simulated real-world scenarios, ensuring competence and safety.

Practical Activities

• Cylinder Handling and Storage — Learners practice safe manual handling, inspection, and stacking of LPG cylinders, and identify defects. (4h)
• Filling and Decanting Operations — Under supervision, learners operate filling equipment to fill cylinders to the correct weight and pressure, and practice decanting procedures. (4h)
• Delivery and Customer Service Simulation — Learners participate in role-play scenarios involving customer deliveries, including site checks, connection, and safety briefings. (4h)
• Emergency Response Drill — Learners participate in a simulated LPG leak and fire emergency, practicing evacuation, containment, and firefighting procedures. (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.
