Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals component allows learners to apply theoretical knowledge in simulated recreation settings. Through hands-on activities, learners practice programme planning, risk assessment, facilitation, and evaluation, ensuring competence in real-world implementation.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Programme Planning Simulation — Learners work in groups to design a recreation programme for a specific target group, including objectives, schedule, and resource plan. (2h)
• Practical 2: Risk Management Drill — Learners conduct a risk assessment for a given recreation activity and develop a risk management plan. (2h)
• Practical 3: Facilitation and Evaluation Exercise — Learners facilitate a short recreation activity and then evaluate its success using provided tools. (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.
