Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions reinforce theoretical knowledge through simulated scenarios and hands-on exercises. Learners practice admission procedures, classification, searches, use of force, and incident reporting in controlled environments to ensure compliance and safety.

Practical Activities

• Admission and Classification Simulation — Learners role-play admission of inmates, conducting initial interviews, completing forms, and making classification decisions based on risk assessment tools. (6h)
• Search Techniques and Contraband Detection — Learners practice frisk, strip, and cell search techniques on mannequins and in mock cells to detect hidden contraband while maintaining dignity and legal compliance. (6h)
• Use of Force Scenarios and Decision-Making — In simulated incidents (e.g., inmate altercation, escape attempt), learners apply use-of-force principles, select appropriate force options, and complete incident reports. (6h)
• Grievance Handling and Disciplinary Hearing — Learners role-play a grievance submission and a disciplinary hearing, following procedural steps, ensuring inmate rights, and making fair decisions. (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%
