Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are essential to develop hands-on competency in emergency response procedures. Learners will apply theoretical knowledge in realistic simulations, including fire extinguisher use, first aid, evacuation drills, and coordinated response to security threats.

Practical Activities

• Fire Extinguisher and Evacuation Drill — Learners practice using different types of fire extinguishers on controlled fires and participate in a building evacuation drill. (4h)
• First Aid and CPR Practical — Learners practice basic first aid, CPR, and AED operation on mannequins in simulated medical emergency scenarios. (4h)
• Security Threat Response Simulation — Learners respond to simulated armed robbery and active shooter scenarios, applying lockdown procedures and communication protocols. (4h)
• Integrated Emergency Drill and Debrief — A full-scale multi-hazard simulation combining fire, medical, and security elements, followed by a structured debrief and after-action review. (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.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
