Practicals

3 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

Learners will apply EMP implementation and evaluation skills through hands-on exercises. Practical sessions include developing an implementation plan, conducting a mock monitoring exercise, and performing an evaluation with corrective actions.

Practical Activities
  • Develop an EMP Implementation Plan — Learners work in groups to create a detailed implementation plan for a given scenario, including objectives, targets, resources, and timelines. (1h)
  • Conduct a Monitoring Exercise — Learners simulate monitoring of environmental aspects using checklists and data collection forms in a mock workplace setting. (1h)
  • Evaluate EMP Performance and Recommend Actions — Learners analyse provided monitoring data, evaluate performance against targets, and propose corrective actions in a group discussion. (1h)

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%
Final Total 100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
