Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions complement theoretical learning by providing hands-on experience in community assessment, facilitation, project planning, and M&E. Learners will conduct a simulated community needs assessment, facilitate a group discussion, develop a project logical framework, and practice data collection techniques.

Practical Activities

• Community Health Needs Assessment Simulation — Learners work in groups to conduct a mock community assessment using surveys and interviews, then compile a health profile. (8h)
• Facilitation Skills Workshop — Learners practice facilitating a community meeting on a health topic, managing group dynamics and using participatory techniques. (6h)
• Project Planning: Logical Framework Development — Learners create a logical framework for a PHC project, including objectives, indicators, and means of verification. (6h)
• M&E Data Collection and Reporting — Learners practice using data collection tools (e.g., questionnaires, observation checklists) and compile a mock M&E report. (4h)

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.
