Practicals

16 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in applying ERM concepts to real-world scenarios. Learners will develop and present an ICAAP framework, conduct risk assessments, and perform stress testing exercises, ensuring they can translate theory into practice.

Practical Activities
  • Risk Identification Workshop — In groups, learners identify and categorize risks for a hypothetical financial institution using risk registers and workshops. (4h)
  • Capital Calculation Exercise — Learners calculate regulatory capital requirements for credit, market, and operational risks using provided data. (4h)
  • ICAAP Documentation Simulation — Learners draft a section of an ICAAP document, including risk appetite statements and capital planning, and present it to a mock board. (4h)
  • Stress Testing and Scenario Analysis — Learners design and run a stress test on a hypothetical portfolio, interpreting results and linking them to capital planning. (4h)

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.
