Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals component provides hands-on experience in applying emergency response skills, including first aid, fire-fighting, evacuation coordination, and incident command. Learners will participate in realistic simulations to build confidence and competence in managing emergencies.

Practical Activities

• First Aid and Basic Life Support — Learners practice CPR, wound dressing, and splinting on mannequins and simulated patients. (4h)
• Fire Extinguisher Operation and Fire Suppression — Learners operate different types of fire extinguishers on controlled fires and practice fire hose handling. (4h)
• Evacuation and Crowd Control Drill — Learners direct simulated evacuees to assembly points, manage crowd flow, and conduct headcounts. (4h)
• Integrated Emergency Scenario Simulation — Teams respond to a multi-hazard scenario (e.g., fire with casualties and active threat) using incident command and coordination. (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.
