Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals reinforce theoretical concepts through real-world water auditing, fixture inspection, and system assessment. Learners will gain skills in using water meters, conducting leak detection, and developing demand management plans.

Practical Activities

• Water Meter Reading and Data Logging — Learners practice reading different types of water meters, recording data, and calculating consumption patterns. (4h)
• Water Audit Exercise — Conduct a simulated water audit of a facility, including identifying all water uses and measuring flow rates. (4h)
• Leak Detection and Repair — Use leak detection equipment to locate simulated leaks and practice basic repair techniques. (4h)
• Developing a Water Demand Management Plan — Work in groups to create a water demand management plan for a case study facility, including measures and monitoring. (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.

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.
