Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios, including drafting disciplinary letters, conducting mock grievance hearings, calculating remuneration, and developing an HR policy. These hands-on activities reinforce learning and build competence in core HR and labour relations tasks.

Practical Activities

• Disciplinary and Grievance Procedure Simulation — Learners work in groups to draft a disciplinary charge sheet, conduct a mock disciplinary hearing, and prepare a grievance response based on a case study. (4h)
• Job Evaluation and Salary Structuring Exercise — Using a job evaluation tool, learners evaluate sample job descriptions and create a basic salary structure with pay grades. (4h)
• Performance Appraisal Role-Play — Learners conduct a performance appraisal meeting using a standard form, provide constructive feedback, and set performance goals. (4h)
• HR Policy Development Workshop — Teams draft a section of an HR policy (e.g., leave, code of conduct) and present it for peer review, ensuring alignment with legislation. (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.

Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
