Description

This course equips learners with the skills to safely remove automotive components in a workshop environment. It covers the correct use of tools, adherence to safety procedures, and proper disposal of removed parts.

Learning Outcomes

  • Demonstrate the correct use of hand and power tools for removing automotive components.
  • Apply safety procedures and personal protective equipment (PPE) during component removal.
  • Identify and remove specified automotive components according to manufacturer specifications.
  • Inspect removed components for wear or damage and report findings.
  • Dispose of removed components and materials in an environmentally responsible manner.

Target Audience

This course is designed for automotive technicians, mechanics, and apprentices who need to develop or refine their skills in removing vehicle components. It is also suitable for workshop supervisors seeking to standardize removal procedures.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Day 1: Foundational Principles of Automotive Component Removal

Objectives:
• Identify and explain the purpose of common automotive components and their removal procedures
• Demonstrate knowledge of workshop safety protocols and tool selection for removal tasks
• Apply systematic inspection techniques to assess component condition before removal
• Outline the steps to remove non-complex automotive components following manufacturer guidelines
• Record removal procedures and observations in a logbook for quality assurance

Topics:
• Introduction to automotive systems and component identification
• Workshop safety: PPE, hazard awareness, and safe work practices
• Tools and equipment: selecting and using hand tools, power tools, and lifting devices
• Pre-removal inspection: visual checks, fluid levels, and component integrity
• Step-by-step removal of a non-complex component (e.g., battery or air filter)
• Documentation: completing removal records and incident reporting
• Practical demonstration and supervised hands-on practice
• Assessment: written test and observed removal task

Practicals

No practicals for this training.

This course is made up of exercises and case studies delivered alongside the theory — no separate practical sessions are required to complete it.

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course and a final summative test at the end.

Daily Exercises — 30%

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 30% to the final total.

Final Test — 70%

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 70% to the overall mark.

Final Total
Component Out of Weight
Daily Average (multiple choice) 100% 30%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) 100% 70%
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 (Daily Average 30% + Final Test 70%).

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.
