Slitting Metallised Paper Rolls Manufacturing Process Training

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate the correct procedures for preparing metallised paper rolls for slitting, including inspection and setup.
• Apply safe operating practices for slitting machinery, including lock-out/tag-out and emergency shutdown procedures.
• Analyze slit roll quality against specified tolerances and identify common defects.
• Implement corrective actions to resolve slitting issues such as edge tears, uneven tension, or misalignment.
• Evaluate finished slit rolls for compliance with customer specifications and packaging requirements.

Target Audience

This training is designed for machine operators, production supervisors, and quality control personnel involved in the slitting of metallised paper rolls within the packaging or printing industries.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge in a controlled workshop environment. Learners will operate slitting machines, perform setup and adjustments, conduct quality inspections, and troubleshoot common issues under supervision.

Practical Activities

• Machine Familiarisation and Safety — Learners identify machine components, practice emergency stops, and demonstrate PPE use. (4h)
• Setup and Parameter Adjustment — Learners set up a slitting machine for a given roll specification, adjusting tension, knife position, and speed. (8h)
• Quality Inspection and Defect Correction — Learners inspect slit rolls for defects, measure dimensions, and implement corrective adjustments. (8h)
• Full Production Run and Troubleshooting — Learners conduct a complete slitting operation from setup to finished rolls, including troubleshooting simulated issues. (8h)

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.
