Before starting with the actual Learning Project, please familiarise yourself with the information on this page!

How to use this workbookThe DSPP learning support material provides additional teaching aids for the knowledge and practical skills modules based on the NOCC-A21 syllabus that was developed according to the new QCTO curriculum. The workbooks supplement the existing learning material available at the TVET colleges and consist of work assignments, which can be used by the lecturers as part of the assessments. The completed assessments will be filed in the Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) and form one of the admission requirements for the trade test at the end of the apprenticeship.

The workbooks focus on practical, workplace-driven aspects and contribute to personal growth and development of the apprentice. The focus is the apprentice!

The workbooks are arranged under headings (viz. Introduction to the Learning Project, Preparation, Theory, Work Assignments and Assessments, Further Development and Workplace Experience), using colours and icons to help the apprentice navigate easily through the workbook and are designed to suit the level of the apprentice. The mentioned time allocation is applicable to the knowledge and practical modules done at the TVET college only.

Below is a short description of the different sections of the workbook.

Introduction to the Learning ProjectOn page 4 of the workbook, the apprentice is introduced to the Learning Project. The section begins with a motivational quote, picture or story to inspire the apprentice to 'think out of the box' and to apply this mind-set to work with the workbook. With a short paragraph introducing the upcoming Learning Project, the apprentice will have an idea of how the practicals will be applied in class.

PreparationThe next heading "Preparation" is one of the most important parts of the workbook and can be used at the beginning of the Learning Project. The aim is to arouse the interest of the apprentices in the Learning Project by challenging them with problems and questions varying in difficulty and presented in a fun, creative and mostly scenario-based fashion. There is no pressure on the apprentices to have all the answers - this will encourage them to participate.

TheoreticalThe theoretical section entails the formal process of instruction as set out by the NOCC-A21. The lecturer is aware as to the desired outcomes and range of topics and he/she plans the process in such a way that training is effective and completed within the allocated time frame.

Work Assignments & AssessmentsWork assignments are completed by apprentices in order to assess their knowledge and skills and to determine effectiveness of the training against the stated outcomes. The assessments and evaluations are done objectively and present an opportunity to identify and schedule remedial activities. These must be formally agreed upon between the apprentice and the lecturer. Furthermore, the assessments serve as proof for the completed knowledge and practical skills modules in the Portfolio of Evidence (PoE).

Further Development & Workplace Experience"Further Development" aims to allow apprentices to delve deeper into the featured topics. The format may include references to websites, books, documents, projects or experiments. Lecturers do not formally keep track of apprentices’ activities in this section. The employment of the apprentices at the workplace is aimed to provide “real-life” work experience. The "Workplace Experience" section of the workbook ensures that apprentices complete a variety of tasks at the workplace.

ENJOY THE PROCESS!

1. Self Development

Do you care enough for yourself? Can you see a correlation to the topic of this Learning Project?

2. Introduction to the Learning Project 2It is a fact that any tradesman relies on his tools. These tools are often very expensive, and tradesmen get attached to the tools that they trust.

The tools that an electrician uses on a daily basis are a combination of hand- and power tools, and require specific ways of being used, cared for and stored.

Not only does proper care have an influence on the life-span of the tools, but safety is also enhanced in properly cared for tools.

Electricians are constantly designing, constructing, fitting and adapting a variety of metals, plastics, wood and other materials. None of the work of an electrician is possible without hand- and power tools, and a good understanding of the risks involved in using these are as important as knowing how to use it.

3. PREPARATION

ManufacturingElectrical installations are executed according to a client's specifications and by using different pipes, fastening material, cables, electrical products and other material. To perform those tasks, different basic work techniques are required:

• Cutting

• Metal forming

• Testing

• Joining

All tasks have do be performed in a safe manner using appropriate personnel protective equipment (PPE).

In order to meet the required quality, all work has to be tested after completion. In testing, we differentiate between subjective and objective testing.

What do you understand to be the difference between subjective and objective testing?

Can you name three different 'testing tools' for each of the two different testing methods (remember, sometimes the tool can be a human organ/ human body part).

Using your examples of testing tools above, think of an example for each of the testing methods and describe the testing method in detail.

To cut the material to size you are using, amongst other tools, an angle grinder. Before you start cutting, your boss hands you the safe work procedure for the use of the angle grinder that he had started putting in place a while ago. He however cautions that he has not yet completed the document.

He asks you to add the 6 missing safety signs to the procedure and tick the relevant signs for the use of the angle grinder.

Explain one of your choices of relevant warning sign above to the rest of the class.
