Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in environmental assessment, pollution monitoring, waste management, and conservation techniques, allowing learners to apply theoretical knowledge in realistic scenarios and develop practical skills essential for environmental stewardship.

Practical Activities

• Environmental Site Inspection and Reporting — Learners conduct a simulated environmental site inspection, identify potential impacts, and compile a concise environmental compliance report. (4h)
• Water Quality Sampling and Analysis — Learners collect water samples from a local water body, perform basic physical and chemical tests (pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen), and interpret results against water quality guidelines. (4h)
• Waste Audit and Segregation Exercise — Learners conduct a waste audit on a simulated waste stream, categorise waste types, and propose a waste minimisation plan based on the waste hierarchy. (4h)
• Biodiversity Survey and Conservation Planning — Learners perform a mini biodiversity survey in a designated area, record species, and develop a simple conservation plan addressing threats and protection measures. (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.
