Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals allow learners to apply interpretation skills to real or simulated workplace instructions, including written SOPs and verbal directives. Learners will execute tasks, document outcomes, and receive feedback to reinforce learning.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Interpreting and Executing a Written SOP — Learners receive a standard operating procedure for a simple assembly task and must interpret and execute it step-by-step. (4h)
• Practical 2: Following Verbal Instructions for a Maintenance Task — Learners listen to verbal instructions for a basic maintenance procedure and perform the task, using questioning techniques to clarify. (4h)
• Practical 3: Implementing Multi-Step Instructions with Quality Checks — Learners follow a multi-step instruction set for a quality inspection process, using checklists to verify each step. (4h)
• Practical 4: Simulated Workplace Scenario – New Equipment Setup — Learners are given an unfamiliar equipment manual and must interpret and implement setup instructions under time constraints. (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.
