Practical Activities
  • Risk Identification and Assessment Exercise — Learners work in groups to identify and assess risks for a given business case using a risk matrix. (2h)
  • Insurance Policy Review and Gap Analysis — Learners analyse sample insurance policies to identify cover limits, exclusions, and potential gaps relative to the risks identified. (2h)
  • Risk Advisory Report Writing and Presentation — Learners prepare a concise risk advisory report with recommendations and present it to the class for peer review. (2h)

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.

Practical Assignments (rubric-scored) 100% 30%
