Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply sales techniques and regulatory knowledge in simulated pharmacy environments. Role-plays and case studies develop confidence in client interactions, product presentation, and ethical decision-making.

Practical Activities

• Client Consultation Role-Play — Learners pair up to simulate client consultations using given scenarios, practicing need identification, product recommendation, and closing. (4h)
• Objection Handling and Upselling Scenarios — Learners handle scripted objections from facilitators and practice upselling/cross-selling health supplements or related products. (3h)
• Dispensary Workflow Simulation — In a simulated dispensary, learners process a prescription transaction, including client check-in, product dispensing (role-play), and payment, integrating sales of ancillary products. (3h)
• Complaint Handling and Ethical Decision-Making — Learners role-play a client complaint scenario and discuss ethical dilemmas in small groups, then present solutions. (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
