Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practicals enable learners to apply HR audit concepts in simulated workplace scenarios. Learners will conduct mock audits, use checklists, and compile reports to reinforce theoretical knowledge and develop hands-on auditing skills.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Audit Planning and Risk Assessment — Learners develop an audit plan and risk assessment for a given HR scenario, including designing checklists. (4h)
• Practical 2: Auditing Recruitment and Selection — Learners review sample recruitment files and interview records to identify compliance gaps and prepare findings. (4h)
• Practical 3: Auditing Performance Management and Training — Learners audit performance appraisal records and training files, then calculate Skills Development Levy compliance. (4h)
• Practical 4: Audit Report Writing and Presentation — Learners compile a mock audit report and present findings to the class, including corrective action recommendations. (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.
