Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions form the core of this course, allowing learners to apply measurement, cutting, assembly, installation, and service techniques under supervision. These sessions build competence and confidence in using tools, interpreting drawings, and achieving quality standards.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Measurement and Cutting — Learners practice measuring aluminium profiles, marking cut lines, and operating mitre saws and drills to produce accurate components. (8h)
• Practical 2: Frame Assembly and Glazing — Learners assemble window and door frames, install gaskets and glazing, and apply sealants to produce a finished unit. (8h)
• Practical 3: Installation of Windows and Doors — Learners install assembled frames into prepared openings, fix them securely, and fit hardware. (8h)
• Practical 4: Curtain Wall Assembly and Installation — Learners assemble a section of curtain wall including mullions, transoms, and glass panels, and install it on a test frame. (8h)
• Practical 5: Service and Maintenance — Learners perform maintenance on installed systems: adjust hardware, replace seals, and repair minor damage. (8h)

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.
