CURRICULUM & COURSE DESIGN
Gas Uni develops structured LPG, safety and technical curricula that are designed around clearly defined competencies, practical industry requirements and the needs of the learners who will use them.
Our approach goes beyond simply writing course notes. We help clients turn technical knowledge, standards, workplace requirements and competency expectations into a complete learning programme that can be delivered consistently and assessed effectively.
Curricula can be developed for individual courses, institutional programmes, company training systems or wider national workforce-development initiatives.
WHAT WE CAN DESIGN
Gas Uni can develop complete course and curriculum packages for areas such as:
LPG installer training
domestic and commercial gas fitting
gas appliance maintenance and repair
workplace LPG safety
site inspection and auditing
LPG system maintenance
facilitator and assessor development
standards and compliance training
refresher and continuing-development programmes
specialised technical training
workforce upskilling programmes
Programmes can be developed from the ground up or existing training material can be reviewed, restructured and improved.
FROM COMPETENCY TO CURRICULUM
A strong curriculum starts with a clear understanding of what a learner must ultimately be able to do.
Gas Uni can support the full design process, including:
Competency Mapping
Defining the knowledge, practical skills and professional behaviours required for the intended role.
Learning Outcomes
Turning those competencies into clear and measurable learning outcomes.
Curriculum Structure
Organising content into logical modules, topics and learning sequences.
Theory Content
Developing the technical knowledge required to support safe and competent practice.
Practical Content
Designing practical exercises, demonstrations, simulations and workplace activities.
Assessment Alignment
Ensuring that assessments measure the same competencies the curriculum is intended to develop.
Facilitator Guidance
Providing trainers with clear instructions on how the content should be delivered.
Review & Validation
Checking the programme for technical accuracy, consistency and suitability before implementation.
LEARNER MATERIALS
Gas Uni can develop learner materials that are clear, structured and appropriate for vocational education.
Depending on the project, this can include:
learner manuals
workbooks
module notes
practical exercise guides
technical diagrams
calculation examples
case studies
inspection exercises
reference sheets
revision material
workplace checklists
digital learning content
Materials are designed to support understanding and practical application rather than simply present large volumes of technical information.
FACILITATOR MATERIALS
A curriculum is only effective if it can be delivered consistently.
Gas Uni can therefore develop dedicated facilitator resources such as:
facilitator guides
lesson plans
presentation slides
teaching notes
demonstration instructions
suggested questioning techniques
practical exercise guidance
classroom activities
assessment preparation guidance
answers and technical explanations
recommended timing and course sequencing
This helps different facilitators deliver the same programme to a consistent standard.
ASSESSMENT INTEGRATION
Where assessment forms part of the programme, it should be built into the curriculum from the beginning rather than added as an afterthought.
Gas Uni can develop:
theory examinations
knowledge checks
calculation questions
practical assessments
competency checklists
scenario-based assessments
marking guides
model answers
assessor instructions
practical observation criteria
reassessment material
moderation guidance
This creates a clear connection between what is taught, what is practised and what is ultimately assessed.
CURRICULUM FOR NATIONAL QUALIFICATION PATHWAYS
Where a government, regulator or industry body is developing a formal LPG installer pathway, curriculum design can form part of a much larger qualification-development process.
Gas Uni can help translate national competency requirements into structured training programmes that support:
entry-level installer development
advanced installer categories
specialist appliance training
practical competence development
assessor and facilitator pathways
refresher requirements
continuing professional development
The final qualification, registration or legal recognition would remain with the appropriate national authority.
Gas Uni's role is to help develop the curriculum, training and assessment architecture required to support that system.
DESIGNED FOR THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT
Technical training should reflect the environment in which learners will actually work.
Curricula can therefore be adapted around:
local legislation
national technical standards
recognised international standards
equipment and appliances used in the market
cylinder and supply arrangements
local installation practices
climate and altitude
workforce experience
literacy and educational levels
language requirements
cultural and workplace context
This is particularly important when developing programmes for different African markets, where simply importing an existing foreign curriculum may not produce effective training.
DIGITAL, CLASSROOM & PRACTICAL LEARNING
Courses can be designed for different delivery environments, including:
classroom training
practical workshop training
online learning
blended learning
workplace-based training
train-the-trainer programmes
Where appropriate, the same curriculum can be structured so that theory is delivered digitally while practical competence is developed and assessed in person.
EXISTING COURSE REVIEW & REDEVELOPMENT
Gas Uni can also work with organisations that already have training material but need it improved.
This may involve:
reviewing technical accuracy
restructuring course content
updating outdated standards or regulations
improving learning outcomes
strengthening practical content
improving assessment quality
simplifying difficult technical explanations
improving diagrams and learning materials
converting informal training into a structured curriculum
preparing programmes for wider institutional implementation
WHAT THE CLIENT RECEIVES
Depending on the agreed scope, a curriculum-development project may include:
curriculum framework
competency matrix
learning outcomes
course structure
learner manuals
facilitator guides
presentations
practical exercises
technical diagrams
assessments
marking guides
assessor documentation
implementation guidance
recommended course duration
training-resource requirements
review and update framework
The final package is developed around the client's intended use, workforce requirements and implementation environment.
OUR APPROACH
DEFINE → STRUCTURE → DEVELOP → ASSESS → REVIEW → IMPLEMENT
Gas Uni works collaboratively with clients to ensure the final curriculum is technically credible, educationally effective and practical to implement.
TURN TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE INTO EFFECTIVE TRAINING
Whether you require a single specialist course, a complete installer curriculum or a suite of programmes for national implementation, Gas Uni can help develop the learning structure, materials and assessment systems needed to bring it to life.
