Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are essential for developing competence in gaming machine installation and configuration. Learners will work with actual machines and simulation software to apply theory in a controlled environment.

Practical Activities

• Site Assessment and Planning — Learners conduct a mock site survey, create a layout plan, and prepare an installation checklist. (3h)
• Hardware Installation — Learners physically install a gaming machine, including anchoring, cabling, and peripheral connections. (5h)
• Software Configuration and Calibration — Learners load game software, configure settings, and calibrate input/output devices. (4h)
• Testing and Troubleshooting — Learners conduct functional tests, diagnose faults, and perform corrective actions. (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.
