Activity Plan Implementation for Deadline Achievement Training

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate understanding of the components of an activity plan and their role in meeting deadlines
• Implement activity plans by allocating resources and assigning tasks according to the plan
• Monitor progress against the activity plan and identify deviations
• Adjust activity plans in response to changes or obstacles to maintain deadline achievement
• Communicate progress and plan adjustments to relevant stakeholders
• Evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented activity plan against agreed deadlines

Target Audience

This course is designed for team leaders, supervisors, and project coordinators who are responsible for executing activity plans and ensuring deadlines are met.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

This course includes a substantial practical component where learners apply activity planning techniques to realistic scenarios. Through group exercises and simulations, participants practice task breakdown, scheduling, risk management, and monitoring, culminating in a full implementation simulation on Day 3.

Practical Activities

• Work Breakdown Structure Exercise — Learners work in groups to decompose a given project into tasks and subtasks, creating a hierarchical WBS. (2h)
• Scheduling with Critical Path Analysis — Using a case study, learners create a Gantt chart, calculate the critical path, and determine float for non-critical tasks. (3h)
• Risk Assessment and Mitigation Planning — Learners identify potential risks to a project timeline, assess their impact and likelihood, and propose mitigation strategies. (2h)
• Implementation Simulation and Monitoring — A simulated project run where learners execute their plan, track progress using KPIs, and respond to unexpected disruptions. (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.

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.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
