Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply inclusive recruitment techniques in simulated scenarios. Learners will practice writing inclusive job descriptions, conducting accessible interviews, and performing accommodation needs assessments.

Practical Activities

• Inclusive Job Description Workshop — Learners rewrite existing job descriptions to remove barriers and ensure essential functions are clearly stated. (4h)
• Accessible Interview Simulation — Learners conduct mock interviews with a candidate with a disability (role-played) and receive feedback on accessibility and bias. (6h)
• Accommodation Needs Assessment Role-Play — Learners practice conducting an accommodation needs assessment with an employee with a disability and develop a cost-effective accommodation plan. (4h)
• Inclusive Recruitment Policy Development Exercise — Learners draft a section of an inclusive recruitment policy based on a given organisational scenario. (2h)

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.
