Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply coaching techniques in simulated and real-world scenarios, practice reasonable accommodation planning, and receive feedback to refine their skills. These hands-on activities ensure competence in facilitating disability inclusion coaching.

Practical Activities

• Coaching Role-Play: Initial Session — Learners conduct a 30-minute coaching session with a volunteer playing an employee with a disability, focusing on goal setting and rapport building. (4h)
• Accommodation Needs Assessment Simulation — Learners work in pairs to assess a simulated employee's accommodation needs and develop a reasonable accommodation plan. (4h)
• Career Coaching and Self-Advocacy Practice — Learners coach a peer on career development, focusing on disclosure decisions and self-advocacy strategies. (4h)
• Manager Coaching Scenario — Learners coach a manager on leading an inclusive team, addressing bias, and implementing accommodations. (4h)
• Integrated Coaching Session and Feedback — Learners conduct a full coaching session integrating all skills, followed by peer and facilitator feedback. (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.
