Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions reinforce theoretical concepts through hands-on exercises in route planning, inventory management, warehouse simulation, and logistics system use. Learners apply tools and techniques in realistic scenarios to develop operational skills.

Practical Activities

• Route Planning Exercise — Learners use a transport management software (or manual maps) to plan optimal delivery routes for a set of orders, considering cost, time, and capacity constraints. (4h)
• Inventory Control Simulation — Learners simulate inventory management using a spreadsheet-based game, making decisions on order quantities and reorder points to minimize costs while meeting demand. (4h)
• Warehouse Layout and Picking Exercise — Learners design a warehouse layout on a grid and perform a simulated order-picking operation, measuring efficiency and identifying improvements. (4h)
• Logistics System Data Analysis — Learners analyze sample logistics data (e.g., delivery performance, inventory levels) using Excel or a simple dashboard, and make recommendations to improve KPIs. (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.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it
