Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide supervised role-play and simulation exercises where learners apply conflict resolution strategies in realistic workplace scenarios. These hands-on sessions build confidence in managing real conflicts and allow for immediate feedback from facilitators and peers.

Practical Activities

• Role-Play: De-escalating a Heated Discussion — Learners pair up to enact a workplace disagreement escalating into conflict, practising de-escalation techniques and active listening. (3h)
• Structured Conflict Resolution Simulation — In groups of three (disputants and mediator), learners follow a step-by-step process to resolve a simulated conflict, including caucusing and joint sessions. (4h)
• Feedback and Action Planning Workshop — Learners practise giving constructive feedback using the SBI model, then develop a personal conflict management action plan for their workplace. (5h)

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.
