Agricultural Engine System Component Removal and Installation Training

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate the correct procedures for removing engine system components from agricultural equipment.
• Disassemble engine components according to manufacturer specifications and safe work practices.
• Install engine system components and verify proper fitment and functionality.
• Apply appropriate diagnostic techniques to assess component condition before reinstallation.
• Implement workplace safety protocols and environmental procedures during removal and installation tasks.
• Use specialised tools and equipment correctly to avoid damage to components.

Target Audience

This course is designed for agricultural equipment technicians, mechanics, and service personnel who are responsible for the maintenance and repair of engine systems in tractors, harvesters, and other farm machinery.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Learners will practice removing and installing engine components on a stationary agricultural engine or training stand. This hands-on session reinforces theoretical knowledge and develops practical skills in component handling, torque application, and post-installation testing.

Practical Activities

• Component Removal and Inspection — Learners remove a cylinder head and inspect gaskets, valves, and surfaces for wear or damage. (2h)
• Component Installation and Torque Application — Learners install new gaskets, reinstall cylinder head, and torque bolts to specification using a torque wrench. (1h)
• Post-Installation Testing — Learners perform a compression test and leak check to verify proper installation.

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.
