Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions reinforce theoretical knowledge through supervised practice on actual scrubber drier and auto sweeper batteries. Learners perform safety checks, maintenance tasks, testing procedures, and troubleshooting exercises to build competence.

Practical Activities

• Safety and Pre-Use Inspection — Learners don PPE, conduct a visual inspection of a battery, check electrolyte levels, and clean terminals under supervision. (1h)
• Routine Maintenance and Charging — Learners perform equalisation charging, monitor charging parameters, and maintain charging equipment as per manufacturer guidelines. (2h)
• Battery Testing and Diagnostics — Learners use a hydrometer, multimeter, and load tester to assess battery health and diagnose common faults. (2h)
• Battery Removal, Installation, and Disposal — Learners safely remove a battery from a machine, install a replacement, and demonstrate correct disposal procedures. (1h)

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.
