Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Learners engage in supervised practical sessions to develop, implement, and evaluate a simulated operational plan for a real or hypothetical organisation. These hands-on activities reinforce theoretical concepts and build confidence in applying operational planning tools.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Developing an Operational Plan — In groups, learners select an organisation and develop a complete operational plan including objectives, action steps, budget, and risk mitigation. (6h)
• Practical 2: Implementing and Monitoring the Plan — Using the developed plan, learners simulate implementation by tracking progress with KPIs and managing resources in a scenario-based exercise. (5h)
• Practical 3: Evaluating and Reporting — Learners evaluate the outcomes of their simulated implementation, identify gaps, and prepare an evaluation report with recommendations. (5h)

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.
