Course Outline

Day 1: Introduction to Moulded Components and Assembly Principles

Objectives:
• Identify different types of moulded components and their materials
• Describe assembly principles and safety requirements
• Explain the importance of quality standards in assembly
• List tools and equipment used for assembly and fitting
• Understand the role of work instructions and specifications

Topics:

• Assembly methods: press-fit, snap-fit, adhesive bonding, fasteners
• Safety regulations and personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Quality control basics: tolerances, fits, and defects
• Introduction to work instructions and technical drawings
• Tools and equipment: jigs, fixtures, torque wrenches, gauges

Day 2: Assembly Techniques and Fitting Attachment Methods

Objectives:
• Demonstrate correct use of assembly tools and equipment
• Apply different fitting attachment methods (e.g., rivets, clips, screws)
• Perform assembly operations following work instructions
• Inspect assembled components for defects and dimensional accuracy
• Troubleshoot common assembly issues

• Torque specifications and tightening sequences
• Inspection techniques: visual, dimensional, and functional checks
• Common defects: misalignment, warpage, cracks, incomplete bonding
• Corrective actions for assembly issues
• Record keeping and documentation

Day 3: Advanced Assembly, Quality Assurance, and Practical Integration

Objectives:
• Assemble complex moulded components with multiple attachments
• Apply quality assurance procedures to ensure conformance
• Perform final inspection and testing of assembled products
• Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities
• Work effectively in a team environment to meet production targets

Topics:
• Advanced assembly sequences for multi-component products
• Quality assurance processes: sampling plans, control charts
• Final inspection criteria and testing methods (e.g., pull tests, leak tests)
• Root cause analysis of assembly failures
• Continuous improvement principles (Kaizen, 5S)
• Teamwork and communication in assembly lines
• Course review and assessment preparation

Practicals

12 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in assembling moulded components using various attachment methods. Learners will practice using tools, jigs, and fixtures, and perform inspections to ensure quality. These sessions reinforce theoretical knowledge and develop competence in real-world assembly tasks.

Practical Activities
  • Basic Assembly and Fastener Application — Learners assemble simple moulded parts using screws, clips, and rivets, following work instructions and using torque tools. (4h)
  • Adhesive Bonding and Snap-Fit Assembly — Learners bond moulded components using adhesives and assemble snap-fit parts, then conduct pull tests to verify bond strength. (3h)
  • Complex Assembly and Quality Inspection — Learners assemble a multi-component product using a combination of methods, then perform final inspection and dimensional checks. (3h)
  • Troubleshooting and Corrective Action — Learners diagnose and correct common assembly faults in pre-assembled samples, applying root cause analysis. (2h)

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

Certificate of Completion

Awarded to delegates who achieve an overall mark of 50% or higher on the Final Total (Practicals 30% + Daily Average 20% + Final Test 50%).

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.
