Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are essential for learners to apply maintenance procedures on actual cleaning equipment. These sessions reinforce theoretical knowledge and develop competency in daily checks, troubleshooting, repairs, and preventive maintenance tasks.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Equipment Inspection and Daily Maintenance — Learners perform visual inspections, clean filters, check cords and plugs, and complete maintenance logs on various cleaning machines. (4h)
• Practical 2: Troubleshooting and Minor Repairs — Learners diagnose simulated faults (e.g., loss of suction, no power) and perform repairs such as replacing belts, fuses, and switches. (4h)
• Practical 3: Preventive Maintenance and Parts Replacement — Learners execute scheduled maintenance tasks including lubricating bearings, replacing brushes, and checking battery levels. (4h)
• Practical 4: Advanced Servicing and Final Assessment — Learners perform pump seal replacement, motor brush inspection, and a comprehensive risk assessment. Final practical assessment completes the session. (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%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
