Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practicals provide hands-on experience in conducting HR audits, from planning to reporting. Learners will apply audit techniques to simulated HR data and scenarios, reinforcing theoretical knowledge with real-world practice.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Audit Planning and Checklist Development — Learners work in groups to develop an audit plan and checklist based on a given HR scenario, including scope, objectives, and risk assessment. (4h)
• Practical 2: Data Collection and Evidence Gathering — Learners conduct mock interviews, review sample HR documents, and record evidence using standardised forms in a simulated environment. (4h)
• Practical 3: Audit Reporting and Presentation — Learners analyse collected data, draft an audit report with findings and recommendations, and present it to the class acting as management. (4h)
• Practical 4: Integrated Audit Simulation — Teams conduct a full simulated HR audit from planning to closing, integrating multiple HR functions and presenting final outcomes. (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.
