Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals are integral to this course, allowing learners to apply theoretical knowledge in a supervised environment. Learners will gain hands-on experience in assembling, installing, testing, and inspecting domestic LPG systems, ensuring they develop the necessary skills and confidence to perform safe and compliant installations.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Site Assessment and Safety Preparation — Learners conduct a site assessment for a mock domestic installation, identifying suitable locations for cylinders, appliances, and piping routes while applying safety regulations. (2h)
• Practical 2: Pipe Cutting, Threading, and Assembly — Learners practice cutting, threading, and assembling steel pipes and fittings, ensuring proper joint integrity and alignment for LPG systems. (3h)
• Practical 3: Installation of Components and Appliances — Learners install a complete domestic LPG system on a training rig, including cylinder connection, regulator, piping, and a gas appliance, following manufacturer instructions and standards. (3h)
• Practical 4: Pressure Testing and Leak Detection — Learners perform pressure testing and leak detection using manometers and leak detection fluid, ensuring the system is safe and compliant before commissioning. (2h)

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

Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
