• Apply comparative behaviour analysis techniques to evaluate candidates for job roles.
• Evaluate the impact of behavioural differences on team performance and workplace relationships.
• Design interventions based on behavioural comparisons to improve job fit and employee satisfaction.
• Demonstrate the ability to use behavioural data to support objective job-related decisions.
• Implement strategies for integrating behavioural analysis into recruitment and performance management processes.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practicals provide hands-on experience in systematic observation, data collection, and comparative analysis. Learners will practise using ethograms, video recording, and statistical tools to analyse behaviour and make evidence-based job decisions.

Practical Activities

• Ethogram Development and Observation — Learners develop an ethogram for a specific job-related behaviour (e.g., customer service interactions) and conduct live or video-recorded observations. (4h)
• Functional Analysis of Workplace Behaviours — Using video scenarios, learners apply the ABC model to identify antecedents, behaviours, and consequences in job performance contexts. (4h)
• Comparative Data Analysis and Decision-Making — Learners analyse provided behaviour datasets from human and animal studies (e.g., vigilance in security dogs vs. human guards) using statistical software. (4h)
• Behavioural Assessment Simulation — In a simulated selection scenario, learners design and conduct a behaviour-based assessment (e.g., role-play or task simulation) and evaluate candidates. (3h)

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.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.
