Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals are designed to give learners hands-on experience in responding to LPG emergencies. They will practice risk assessment, use of firefighting equipment, gas detection, and incident command in simulated scenarios, ensuring they can apply theoretical knowledge in real-world situations.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: LPG Properties and Hazard Identification — Learners will participate in a demonstration of LPG properties and hazard identification in a controlled environment. (3h)
• Practical 2: Risk Assessment and Emergency Planning — Learners will conduct a risk assessment of a mock LPG facility and develop an emergency response plan. (4h)
• Practical 3: Firefighting and Gas Control Equipment Operation — Learners will practice using fire extinguishers, hoses, and gas control equipment on a simulated LPG fire. (5h)
• Practical 4: Incident Command and Communication Simulation — Learners will participate in a tabletop or live simulation of an LPG emergency, taking on roles in the Incident Command System. (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.
