Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Learners engage in hands-on activities to apply CSR concepts. Practicals include stakeholder mapping, developing a CSR report, designing a community project, and creating a CSR action plan, reinforcing theoretical knowledge through real-world scenarios.

Practical Activities

• Stakeholder Mapping and Engagement Simulation — Learners identify stakeholders for a case study company, map their interests and influence, and role-play an engagement session. (3h)
• CSR Report Preparation (GRI-based) — Using a provided dataset, learners draft a CSR report section following GRI Standards, including materiality disclosure and performance indicators. (4h)
• Community Development Project Design — In groups, learners design a community development project with budget, timeline, and monitoring plan, then present to peers for feedback. (4h)
• CSR Action Plan Development — Learners create a personal or organisational CSR action plan including goals, activities, resources, and KPIs, integrating course learnings. (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.
