Practical Activities
  • Needs Assessment Simulation — Learners use sample survey data and health risk appraisal results to identify wellness priorities for a fictional company. (4h)
  • Wellness Programme Design Workshop — In groups, learners design a comprehensive wellness programme including goals, interventions, budget, and communication plan. (4h)
  • Implementation Planning Exercise — Learners create a detailed implementation timeline, assign roles to wellness champions, and design a launch event. (4h)
  • Data Analysis and Reporting — Learners interpret sample wellness programme data (participation, health outcomes, cost savings) and create a dashboard report. (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.
