Transport Infrastructure Performance and Maintenance Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply key performance indicators to assess the condition and functionality of transport infrastructure.
• Analyze maintenance records and performance data to identify trends and areas requiring intervention.
• Evaluate different maintenance strategies (preventive, corrective, predictive) for cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
• Design a basic maintenance plan for a segment of transport infrastructure.
• Implement monitoring procedures to track infrastructure performance over time.
• Demonstrate compliance with relevant South African transport regulations and standards.

Target Audience

This course is designed for transport infrastructure managers, maintenance supervisors, civil engineers, and municipal planning officials responsible for the performance and upkeep of roads, bridges, and related assets.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, a basic understanding of civil engineering or infrastructure management is beneficial.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply theory to real-world scenarios, including condition assessment, data analysis, maintenance planning, and quality inspections. These hands-on activities reinforce learning and develop skills directly applicable to the workplace.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Condition Assessment of a Road Section — Learners conduct a visual condition survey on a designated road section, rating defects and calculating the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). (4h)
• Practical 2: Performance Data Analysis Using Spreadsheets — Learners analyse provided performance data (e.g., IRI, traffic counts) using Excel to identify trends and predict future deterioration. (4h)
• Practical 3: Maintenance Planning and Resource Estimation — Using a case study, learners develop a maintenance plan including work breakdown, schedule, and cost estimate for a bridge or road segment. (4h)
• Practical 4: Quality Inspection of Maintenance Work — Learners simulate a post-maintenance inspection, measuring compliance with specifications and documenting non-conformances. (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.
