Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practicals are essential to reinforce risk management techniques through hands-on application. Learners work in groups on case studies and simulated projects to practice risk identification, analysis, response planning, and documentation using real-world scenarios.

Practical Activities

• Risk Identification Exercise — In groups, learners identify risks for a provided project scenario using brainstorming and checklists. (2h)
• Qualitative Risk Analysis Workshop — Learners assign probability and impact scores to risks and plot them on a risk matrix. (2h)
• Risk Response Planning — Learners develop risk response strategies and create a risk response plan for the top risks identified. (2h)
• Integrated Risk Management Simulation — Teams manage risks in a simulated project, updating the risk register as the scenario evolves. (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.

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.
