Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are integral to this course, allowing learners to apply theoretical knowledge in realistic scenarios. These hands-on activities reinforce hazard identification, risk assessment, safe work practices, and emergency response skills, ensuring learners are competent to contribute to workplace safety.

Practical Activities

• Workplace Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment — Learners conduct a simulated walk-through of a mock industrial area to identify hazards, assess risks, and propose control measures using provided checklists and templates. (4h)
• Machine Guarding and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Simulation — Using training equipment, learners practice inspecting machine guards and performing LOTO procedures on a simulated machine to ensure safe isolation before maintenance. (4h)
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Selection and Fit Testing — Learners practice selecting appropriate PPE for different hazard scenarios and perform fit checks for respirators, safety helmets, and other equipment. (4h)
• Emergency Response and Evacuation Drill — Learners participate in a simulated fire emergency, including using fire extinguishers, raising the alarm, and executing an evacuation drill, followed by a debrief. (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.
