Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are essential for learners to develop competence in operating automatic scrubber driers safely and effectively. Learners will practice pre-operational checks, machine operation on various floor types, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting under supervision.

Practical Activities

• Pre-operational Checks and Startup — Learners perform a full pre-operational inspection, including battery check, water levels, brush and squeegee condition, and startup procedure. (2h)
• Basic Operation on Smooth Floors — Learners operate the scrubber drier on a smooth hard floor, practicing straight passes, overlapping, turning, and adjusting settings. (3h)
• Operation on Textured Floors and Edges — Learners operate on textured concrete and around obstacles, using edge cleaning techniques and adjusting for different surfaces. (3h)
• Routine Maintenance and Troubleshooting — Learners perform routine maintenance tasks such as cleaning tanks, replacing brushes and squeegees, and troubleshooting common issues like poor cleaning or battery problems. (2h)
• Final Practical Assessment — Learners demonstrate competence in all aspects of operation and maintenance under assessment conditions. (2h)

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.
