Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals are integral to this course, as learners must apply editing techniques using professional NLE software. Each day includes supervised lab sessions where learners edit provided footage, implement effects, and produce a short video project.

Practical Activities

• Basic Editing Exercise — Learners import footage, perform cuts and trims, add transitions, and export a short sequence. (4h)
• Audio and Colour Correction Lab — Learners adjust audio levels, apply crossfades, correct colour balance, and grade a scene. (4h)
• Final Project: Short Video Production — Learners edit a provided multi-camera interview or event footage, add titles, apply effects, and deliver a finished video. (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.
