Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions reinforce drafting skills through hands-on exercises. Learners work individually and in groups to create, review, and finalise project documents using templates and case studies.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Drafting a Project Charter — Using a case study, learners draft a project charter including business case, scope, objectives, and key stakeholders. (2h)
• Practical 2: Building a Work Breakdown Structure — Learners decompose a project into work packages and create a hierarchical WBS with numbering. (2h)
• Practical 3: Developing a Project Schedule and Budget — Using the WBS, learners create a Gantt chart and a simple budget spreadsheet. (2h)
• Practical 4: Document Review and Presentation — Learners peer-review each other's documents against a checklist and present their project plan to the group. (2h)

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.

• 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.
