Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Learners engage in hands-on practice to master wet mopping techniques on various floor surfaces. Practical sessions reinforce safety protocols, chemical handling, and equipment maintenance to ensure competency.

Practical Activities

• Equipment Setup and Chemical Preparation — Learners select and assemble mopping equipment, prepare cleaning solutions, and set up safety signage. (1h)
• Wet Mopping Techniques on Different Floors — Learners perform wet mopping on vinyl, tile, and sealed concrete surfaces using proper technique. (1h)
• Cleaning Verification and Equipment Maintenance — Learners inspect cleaned floors for residue and streaks, then clean and store equipment.

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.
