Catalytic Converter Decommissioning For Cyclic Maintenance Procedures Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply legislative and environmental regulations governing catalytic converter decommissioning.
• Demonstrate safe decommissioning procedures for catalytic converters within cyclic maintenance schedules.
• Analyze the environmental impact of catalytic converter disposal and implement mitigation measures.
• Evaluate the condition of catalytic converters to determine decommissioning readiness.
• Implement documentation and reporting procedures for decommissioning activities.
• Design a cyclic maintenance plan that incorporates catalytic converter decommissioning steps.

Target Audience

This course is designed for maintenance technicians, engineers, and supervisors involved in cyclic maintenance of industrial equipment, particularly in sectors such as mining, manufacturing, and energy.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals are essential for developing safe and competent decommissioning skills. Learners will practice removal techniques, use specialized tools, and complete documentation under supervision, ensuring readiness for real-world cyclic maintenance procedures.

Practical Activities

• Pre-Decommissioning Inspection and Setup — Learners inspect a catalytic converter on a training rig, assess condition, and prepare the work area with proper safety measures. (3h)
• Catalytic Converter Removal and Handling — Under supervision, learners remove a catalytic converter using cutting tools, handle hazardous materials, and store the unit safely. (5h)
• Post-Removal Inspection and Compliance — Learners inspect the exhaust system, perform emission checks, and complete all required documentation and waste management steps. (4h)
• Simulated Full Decommissioning Cycle — Learners perform a complete decommissioning procedure from start to finish, integrating all previous skills, under timed conditions. (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.
