Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals component provides hands-on experience in managing employee records, processing payroll data, and administering recruitment and onboarding documentation. Learners will use simulated HR systems and templates to apply concepts learned in theory sessions.

Practical Activities

• Employee File Management — Learners create and populate employee files with sample data, ensuring compliance with record-keeping requirements and POPIA. (4h)
• Payroll Processing Simulation — Using a payroll spreadsheet, learners calculate gross pay, deductions, and net pay for sample employees, and generate payslips. (4h)
• Recruitment and Onboarding Administration — Learners draft job adverts, screen applications, prepare employment contracts, and complete an onboarding checklist. (4h)
• Disciplinary and Exit Process Administration — Learners role-play a disciplinary hearing, documenting charges and outcomes, and process a termination including final pay and certificate of service. (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.
