Practicals

16 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

Practicals are essential for learners to apply wellness programme design, implementation, and evaluation skills in realistic scenarios. Through hands-on exercises, learners conduct a mock needs assessment, design an intervention plan, and evaluate outcomes using real-world data.

Practical Activities
  • Wellness Needs Assessment Simulation — Learners analyse a sample employee survey dataset and biometric screening results to identify top wellness priorities for a fictional company. (4h)
  • Programme Design Workshop — In groups, learners design a 12-month wellness programme including objectives, interventions, budget, and communication plan for a given organisational profile. (4h)
  • Implementation Role-Play and Communication Drill — Learners role-play a wellness committee meeting to address implementation challenges and then create a multi-channel communication campaign to boost participation. (4h)
  • Evaluation and ROI Calculation Exercise — Using a provided dataset, learners calculate programme ROI, analyse outcome metrics, and produce an executive dashboard summarising impact. (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.

Practical Assignments (rubric-scored) 100% 30%
