Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are essential to develop hands-on skills in carbon footprint calculation, data management, and the use of carbon accounting tools. Learners will apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios, enhancing their ability to implement carbon management strategies effectively.

Practical Activities

• Carbon Footprint Calculation Workshop — Learners use a provided data set to calculate the carbon footprint of a fictional company, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, using Excel or a carbon calculator tool. (4h)
• Carbon Management Plan Simulation — In groups, learners develop a carbon management plan for a case study organisation, setting targets and identifying reduction actions, and present their plan. (3h)
• Carbon Offset Project Evaluation — Learners evaluate different carbon offset projects against criteria such as additionality, permanence, and co-benefits, and select the most appropriate for a given scenario. (1h)

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.
