Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are essential to develop hands-on skills in installing, testing, and maintaining LPG appliances. Learners will work with real equipment, tools, and safety gear under supervision to apply theoretical knowledge and meet competency requirements.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Pipe Cutting, Threading, and Jointing — Learners practice cutting, threading, and jointing steel and copper pipes using appropriate tools and techniques. (4h)
• Practical 2: Appliance Installation and Connection — Learners install a gas cooker and a water heater, including mounting, connecting to gas supply, and securing. (4h)
• Practical 3: Pressure Testing and Leak Detection — Learners conduct pressure testing on installed systems and use leak detection methods to identify and fix faults. (4h)
• Practical 4: Commissioning and Troubleshooting — Learners commission appliances, adjust settings, and troubleshoot common faults in a simulated environment. (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

Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
