Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are essential to apply theoretical knowledge in simulated real-world scenarios, enhancing skills in risk assessment, personal security, emergency response, and crisis management. These hands-on exercises reinforce learning and ensure participants are prepared to handle travel security challenges effectively.

Practical Activities

• Risk Assessment Workshop — Participants conduct a detailed risk assessment for a mock travel itinerary, using provided tools and frameworks to identify and prioritize risks. (3h)
• Situational Awareness and Surveillance Detection Simulation — In a controlled environment, participants practice observation and counter-surveillance techniques, identifying simulated surveillance and reacting appropriately. (3h)
• Emergency Response Tabletop Exercise — Participants engage in a tabletop exercise simulating a crisis (e.g., civil unrest, medical emergency), coordinating response actions and communication. (3h)
• Personal Security Planning and Simulation — Participants create a personal security plan for a high-risk destination and participate in a simulated scenario, practicing de-escalation and defensive actions. (3h)

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%
