LPG Pressure Testing Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply LPG pressure testing procedures in accordance with SANS 10087 and relevant safety regulations.
• Analyze pressure test results to determine system integrity and identify potential leaks or weaknesses.
• Evaluate the suitability of testing equipment and methods for different LPG system configurations.
• Implement safety protocols and risk mitigation measures during pressure testing operations.
• Demonstrate proper documentation and reporting of pressure test outcomes for compliance and audit purposes.

Target Audience

This course is designed for technicians, engineers, and safety officers involved in the installation, maintenance, or inspection of LPG systems in residential, commercial, or industrial settings.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, basic knowledge of LPG systems and safety practices is recommended.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are essential for learners to develop hands-on skills in preparing, executing, and documenting LPG pressure tests safely. These sessions allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge in a controlled environment, using industry-standard equipment and realistic scenarios.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: System Preparation and Safety Checks — Learners will inspect an LPG system, isolate it, and perform pre-test safety checks under supervision. (3h)
• Practical 2: Pressure Testing Execution and Monitoring — Learners will pressurize a test rig or actual LPG system to specified test pressure, hold it, and monitor for leaks using various detection methods. (4h)
• Practical 3: Documentation and Post-Test Procedures — Learners will complete test reports, including pressure readings and observations, and perform safe depressurization and recommissioning steps. (2h)
• Practical 4: Simulated Fault Finding and Troubleshooting — In a simulated scenario, learners will identify and diagnose common faults in an LPG system that affect pressure testing, and propose corrective actions. (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.
