Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge to realistic client scenarios. They will practice client profiling, portfolio construction, and presenting investment recommendations, thereby developing the hands-on skills required for competency in wealth management.

Practical Activities

• Client Profiling and Needs Analysis — Learners conduct a mock client interview to gather financial data, assess risk tolerance, and identify investment objectives. (2h)
• Portfolio Construction and Asset Allocation — Using a given client profile, learners select appropriate investment products and allocate assets to build a diversified portfolio. (2h)
• Investment Recommendation Presentation — Learners present their portfolio recommendation to the class, explaining the rationale and addressing ethical considerations. (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.
