Guidelines on Writing Industrial Training Report

and Grade Distribution

A trainee is expected to submit a report to the academic advisor when he/she

completes his/her training. This document presents guidelines on how to write the
industrial training report. It consists of three main parts:

A. Report contents, which is the main part of the report.

B. Report formatting in which the spacing, font size, margins and other
specifications are described.
C. Industrial training grade distribution.

A. Training Report Contents:

The training report should include the following:

1. Cover page: the student should follow the standard cover page attached.

2. Table of contents: the table of contents should include all sections of the
report and their corresponding page numbers. All headings and sub-heading
must be included (the word processor can be used to generate an automatic
table of contents).

3. List of figures and list of tables: All figures and tables should be listed
directly after the table of contents. The list should include: Figure or Table
Number., title, and page number. An example is shown below:

Figure No. Title Page No.

4. Acknowledgement (optional): the student is encouraged to acknowledge the

company in which he has been trained at and the assistance given to him by all
of those who supervised him/her in the training organization. It is also
appropriate to recognize the follow-up and advice given to him by the academic
supervisors.

5. Summary: the summery should provide a concise and brief description of the
training report. The student mentions the company name, the department(s)
specifically he/she worked in, training period, and the type of work and tasks
given to him/her. The summary should be between 100 to 200 words.

6. Introduction: the student should specify clearly the tasks performed during
the training period. The student can provide and discuss the training program
given to him/her here in the introduction.

7. The Company profile or organizational chart.

8. Body of Report: the body is the main part of the report. The student in the
body should detail the work performed and achievements during the training
period. Each task or project performed can be placed in a separate section
within the body.

9. Conclusions and Recommendations: in this last section of the report, the

student should conclude his/her training and state the recommendations
regarding the training, such as: benefits, weaknesses, level and
appropriateness of the work performed, length of the training period, etc

10. Appendices: the student should include all supplementary documents that
support his/her report in lettered appendices (Appendix A, B, C, )

B. Training Report Formatting:

1. Length: the length of the report should be between 15-20 pages including the
cover page, summary, table of contents, list of figures, list of tables, and
acknowledgement.

2. Script and Page Format: The report should be typed using a word processor.
Standard A4 (21.0 cm 29.7 cm) paper size should be used. Times new roman
font or any other convenient type, size 12-point, 10 to 12 characters per inch
should be used. Line spacing should be 1.5.

3. Margins: Left-hand margins should have a width of not less than 38mm, to
facilitate binding. The right-hand, the top, and the bottom margins should be
25mm.

4. Paper and Print Quality: Paper and print quality are important for successful
legibility. The report can be printed on standard quality paper (e.g., photocopy
paper).

5. Pagination: Positioning of page numbers is optional. Pages starting from the

summary until the list of tables should be numbered using Latin numbers (I, II,
III, IV ). Pages starting from the introduction until the appendices should be
numbered using Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, 4 ). Pages with figures or tables or
illustrations must be also numbered.

6. Binding: The report should be bound in ring or spring binders.

about the timings of these visits.

4. Training Report and Presentation (30%(

The training report must be submitted to the academic supervisor no later than

guidelines report writing stated earlier. The student has to present his/her report
before a committee of two academic staff. The presentation must be made using

specific dates for presentation will be announced at the beginning of the first
