Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are integral to this course as learners must develop hands-on skills in evidence handling, financial analysis, interviewing, and case management. These supervised exercises ensure learners can apply theoretical knowledge to realistic corruption scenarios.

Practical Activities

• Evidence Handling Simulation — Learners receive a mock crime scene with documents, digital devices, and physical exhibits. They must collect, label, photograph, and document each item while maintaining chain of custody. (6h)
• Financial Transaction Analysis — Learners analyse simulated bank statements, invoices, and contracts to identify suspicious transactions, money laundering indicators, and hidden assets. (6h)
• Investigative Interview Role-Play — Learners conduct interviews with trained actors playing suspects and witnesses, applying the PEACE model and questioning techniques. Each session is recorded for feedback. (6h)
• Full Case Simulation and Report Writing — Teams receive a complex corruption scenario (e.g., tender fraud) and must plan the investigation, gather evidence from multiple sources, interview a suspect, and compile a final investigation report. (6h)

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.
