Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply monitoring and evaluation techniques in simulated team environments. These hands-on activities reinforce theoretical concepts and build competence in using tools, providing feedback, and driving improvement.

Practical Activities
  • Setting Performance Standards — Learners work in groups to develop SMART performance standards for a simulated team scenario. (4h)
  • Monitoring with Tools — Learners use observation checklists and performance dashboards to collect data on team activities. (4h)
  • Evaluation and Feedback — Learners analyse performance data and conduct a structured feedback session using the SBI model. (4h)
  • Review and Improvement Plan — Teams facilitate a review meeting and create an action plan for continuous improvement. (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%
