Learner Manual

The learner manual will be available in your Documents folder (Learner Guides). Make sure to download it onto your computer/device before starting the e-learning course.

Important Note:

Please note that video and other multi-media content is used as a visual tool to explain certain concepts and to enhance your learning experience. You will find that not all of the content in the learner manual is covered in the video’s, so please make sure to study the entire learner manual, as the final knowledge questionnaire and assignment will be based on the contents of the entire learner manual.

Practical

After completion of the Online Theory part of the course, you will need to download the practical assignment in your documents folder.

Students will have to demonstrate their practical skills by completing a workplace inspection and report.

A generic template (checklist) is available in your documents folder to use during your workplace inspection.

Note: Should your Company have their own checklist, you are welcome to use that.

The completed assignment (signed by your immediate supervisor - if you are employed), must be uploaded into your dropbox folder.

Certification

Your assignment will then be assessed by one of the RTS assessors, after which you will receive feedback.

If all the assessment criteria were met, you will receive a certificate of completion, which is valid for two years.
