Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions provide hands-on experience in receiving, inspecting, storing, handling, and dispensing filter rod stock. Learners apply SOPs, use measuring tools and material handling equipment, and complete documentation under supervision to ensure competence.

Practical Activities

• Receiving and Inspection Practical — Learners receive a simulated delivery, perform visual and dimensional inspections, measure moisture content, and complete receiving documentation. (4h)
• Storage and Stock Rotation Practical — Learners organise filter rod stock in a storage area, apply FIFO rotation, and label pallets correctly. (4h)
• Handling and Dispensing Practical — Learners transport stock using pallet jacks and forklifts (simulated), and dispense to production lines with barcode verification. (4h)
• Quality Monitoring and Troubleshooting Practical — Learners conduct routine quality checks, identify defects, complete log sheets, and propose corrective actions for given scenarios. (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.
