HVAC Inspection and Testing Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply relevant safety procedures and regulations during HVAC inspection and testing.
• Demonstrate the ability to inspect HVAC components for wear, damage, and operational integrity.
• Evaluate system performance against design specifications and industry standards.
• Analyze test results to identify faults and recommend corrective actions.
• Implement testing procedures for electrical, mechanical, and refrigeration circuits.
• Document inspection findings and testing outcomes in accordance with organisational requirements.

Target Audience

Technicians, maintenance personnel, and supervisors responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of HVAC systems. Also suitable for aspiring HVAC professionals seeking formal recognition of their skills.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals are integral to this course, allowing learners to apply inspection and testing techniques on real HVAC equipment. Learners will use tools such as multimeters, manifold gauges, anemometers, and data loggers to diagnose system performance and faults.

Practical Activities

• Electrical Testing of HVAC Components — Learners perform electrical tests on motors, contactors, and control circuits using multimeters and insulation testers. (4h)
• Refrigeration System Analysis — Learners connect manifold gauges, measure pressures and temperatures, and calculate superheat and subcooling on operating systems. (5h)
• Airflow Measurement and Duct Testing — Learners use anemometers, flow hoods, and manometers to measure airflow and static pressure in duct systems. (4h)
• Comprehensive System Inspection and Reporting — Learners conduct a full inspection of a simulated HVAC system, including visual checks, electrical tests, refrigeration analysis, and airflow measurement. (4h)
• Diagnostic Troubleshooting Scenarios — Learners troubleshoot pre-set faults on HVAC equipment using diagnostic tools and logical problem-solving. (3h)

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.
