Jointing Medium And High Voltage Cables Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply safety procedures and risk assessment techniques when jointing medium and high voltage cables.
• Demonstrate the correct preparation and stripping of cable ends for jointing.
• Implement proper jointing techniques using appropriate materials and tools.
• Analyze joint integrity through visual inspection and electrical testing.
• Evaluate completed joints against industry standards and specifications.
• Document jointing procedures and test results for quality assurance.

Target Audience

This course is designed for electricians, cable jointers, technicians, and engineers involved in the installation, maintenance, and repair of medium and high voltage cables in the electrical power industry.

Prerequisites

Learners must have a basic understanding of electrical theory and be competent in safe working practices. Prior experience with low voltage cable jointing is recommended.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions form the core of this course, allowing learners to apply theoretical knowledge to real cable jointing tasks. Under supervision, learners practice preparation, termination, and jointing on various MV and HV cable types using industry-standard tools and accessories.

Practical Activities

• Cable Preparation and Termination — Learners measure, cut, strip, and clean MV and HV cable samples, then install heat shrink and cold shrink terminations. (4h)
• Medium Voltage Straight-Through Jointing — Learners assemble a straight-through joint on a 11 kV XLPE cable using both heat shrink and cold shrink systems. (6h)
• High Voltage Jointing and Testing — Learners assemble a prefabricated slip-on joint for a 33 kV cable and perform HV withstand and partial discharge testing. (6h)
• Fault Location Simulation and Repair — Using a fault locator, learners identify simulated cable faults and carry out a repair joint. (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.
