Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are essential for learners to develop competence in operating, monitoring, and maintaining auxiliary equipment. These sessions provide supervised practice on real or simulated systems, reinforcing theoretical knowledge and building confidence in safe work procedures.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Mechanical System Operation and Maintenance — Learners operate centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, adjust valves, and perform basic maintenance tasks such as gland packing and bearing inspection. (6h)
• Practical 2: Electrical and Control System Testing — Learners test motor starters, configure a VFD, wire a simple control circuit, and use a multimeter to measure voltage, current, and resistance. (6h)
• Practical 3: Pneumatic and Hydraulic Circuit Assembly — Learners assemble pneumatic and hydraulic circuits using real components, adjust pressure and flow, and troubleshoot common faults. (6h)
• Practical 4: Integrated System Operation and Troubleshooting — Learners operate an integrated auxiliary system (e.g., pump, valve, conveyor, control panel), monitor parameters, and resolve simulated faults. (6h)

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.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
