Practicals

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

Learners will engage in hands-on activities using simulated HRIS environments, analytics tools, and e-recruitment platforms. These practicals reinforce theoretical concepts and build competence in using modern e-HR applications.

Practical Activities
  • HRIS Navigation and Data Entry — Learners access a simulated HRIS to enter employee data, run basic reports, and set up user permissions. (4h)
  • E-Recruitment and Applicant Tracking — Learners use an ATS to create a job posting, screen applicants, and manage the recruitment workflow. (4h)
  • HR Analytics Dashboard Creation — Learners use a data visualization tool (e.g., Power BI or Tableau) to build a dashboard with key HR metrics. (4h)
  • Performance Management System Simulation — Learners simulate the performance review cycle using an LMS, setting goals, providing feedback, and generating appraisal reports. (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%
