Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practicals provide hands-on experience in HIV counselling, testing, and care planning. Learners practise counselling sessions, interpret test results, develop care plans, and role-play disclosure scenarios, ensuring competence in real-world applications.

Practical Activities

• HIV Counselling Role-Play — Learners pair up to conduct pre- and post-test counselling sessions using standard protocols, with peer feedback. (4h)
• Rapid HIV Testing Simulation — Using simulation kits, learners perform rapid HIV tests, interpret results, and document findings according to national guidelines. (4h)
• Care Plan Development Workshop — Given a case scenario, learners develop a comprehensive care plan including ART, monitoring, psychosocial support, and referral. (4h)
• Disclosure and Partner Notification Role-Play — Learners practise disclosure support and partner notification in a safe environment, using role-play and guided reflection. (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

Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
