Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in applying risk assessment techniques to real-world scenarios. Learners will conduct risk assessments in simulated environments, use risk matrices, and develop treatment plans, thereby reinforcing theoretical knowledge and building practical competence.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Hazard Identification Walkthrough — Learners will conduct a simulated workplace inspection to identify hazards and document findings. (4h)
• Practical 2: Risk Assessment and Analysis — Using the hazards identified, learners will perform a qualitative risk assessment using a risk matrix and prioritize risks. (5h)
• Practical 3: Risk Treatment Planning — Learners will develop a risk treatment plan for the top risks, selecting appropriate control measures based on the hierarchy of controls. (5h)
• Practical 4: Risk Communication and Reporting — Learners will prepare a risk report and deliver a brief presentation to stakeholders, communicating risks and treatment plans effectively. (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.
