Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are integral to this course, allowing learners to apply auditing and inspection techniques in realistic scenarios. Through hands-on exercises, learners will practice planning, conducting, and reporting audits, as well as developing corrective action plans, ensuring they are job-ready.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Document Review and Checklist Development — Learners review a set of provided HSSE documents and develop a tailored audit checklist for a fictional company. (3h)
• Practical 2: Simulated Walkthrough Inspection — In a simulated workplace environment, learners conduct a physical inspection, observe conditions, and interview a role-player employee. (4h)
• Practical 3: Audit Reporting and Corrective Action Planning — Using findings from previous practicals, learners write an audit report and develop a corrective action plan. (4h)
• Practical 4: Full Mock Audit Exercise — Teams conduct a complete mock audit on a simulated scenario, from planning to closing meeting, and present their results. (5h)

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%
