Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals are integral to developing hands-on competence in motor trolley operation. Learners will practice pre-use inspections, manoeuvring, load handling, and emergency procedures under supervision, ensuring they can operate safely and effectively in real-world conditions.

Practical Activities

• Pre-Use Inspection and Controls Familiarisation — Learners conduct full pre-use inspections and practice using all controls in a stationary trolley. (8h)
• Basic Manoeuvring and Load Handling — Learners drive the trolley through a course, performing turns, reversing, and loading/unloading tasks. (12h)
• Terrain Navigation and Confined Spaces — Learners operate on various surfaces and in tight areas, including ramps and uneven ground. (10h)
• Emergency Procedures and Maintenance — Learners simulate emergency stops, fire response, and perform routine maintenance tasks. (6h)
• Integrated Practical Assessment — Learners demonstrate all skills in a comprehensive assessment scenario. (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.
