Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals allow learners to apply emergency response procedures in simulated scenarios, including triage, basic first aid, and communication. These hands-on activities are essential to develop the skills needed to respond effectively in real emergencies.

Practical Activities

• Triage and Basic First Aid — Learners participate in a simulated multi-casualty incident where they practice triage using colour codes and apply basic first aid techniques such as CPR and wound care. (1h)
• Emergency Communication and Reporting — In a tabletop exercise, learners practice making emergency calls, relaying information accurately, and completing incident reports using standard formats. (1h)
• Simulated Emergency Response Drill — Learners participate in a full-scale simulated emergency scenario (e.g., fire or chemical spill) where they apply the emergency response plan, including evacuation, first aid, and coordination with emergency services. (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.
