Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Learners will practice identifying and articulating features, advantages, and benefits for a range of products and services. This hands-on session ensures they can apply the FAB framework to real-world scenarios, enhancing their sales and marketing communication skills.

Practical Activities

• FAB Analysis of Sample Products — Learners work in groups to analyze provided products, listing features, advantages, and benefits on a worksheet. (1h)
• Creating FAB Statements — Each learner selects a product or service they are familiar with and writes a FAB statement to be used in a sales pitch. (1h)
• Peer Review and Refinement — Learners exchange FAB statements with a partner, provide constructive feedback, and refine their statements. (1h)

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.
