Practical Activities
  • Asset Protection Structure Design — Learners work in groups to design an asset protection structure for a given entity, selecting appropriate legal forms and documenting the plan. (4h)
  • Portfolio Construction and Hedging — Using a simulation tool, learners construct a diversified portfolio and implement hedging strategies for a hypothetical entity's wealth. (4h)
  • Estate and Succession Planning — Learners develop a comprehensive estate plan for a family-owned entity, including wills, trusts, and succession agreements. (4h)
  • Integrated Solution Presentation — Groups present a full wealth preservation solution to a panel, defending their choices and addressing stakeholder questions. (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%
