Prerequisites

None — open enrollment

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are integrated throughout the course to ensure learners gain competence in setting up, operating, monitoring, and maintaining automated filling and capping equipment. These sessions simulate real production environments and emphasize safety, quality, and troubleshooting skills.

Practical Activities

• Equipment Setup and Calibration — Learners set up a filling and capping line, adjust fill volume and capping torque, and perform calibration checks using measuring instruments. (4h)
• Production Operation and Monitoring — Learners operate the line at production speed, monitor fill levels and cap placement, and make real-time adjustments to maintain quality. (4h)
• Cleaning and Preventive Maintenance — Learners perform cleaning procedures and basic preventive maintenance tasks, including lubrication and replacement of worn parts. (4h)
• Troubleshooting and Quality Assurance — Learners diagnose and resolve common faults such as jams, sensor errors, and torque deviations, and apply quality checks to finished product. (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.
