Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals focus on applying theoretical knowledge to realistic emergency scenarios. Learners participate in team-based drills to practice communication, coordination, and execution of roles such as incident commander, first aider, and fire fighter.

Practical Activities

• Scenario 1: Fire Emergency Response — Learners form an emergency team and respond to a simulated fire incident, including raising the alarm, evacuating personnel, using fire extinguishers, and coordinating with external services. (1h)
• Scenario 2: Medical Emergency and First Aid — Teams manage a simulated medical emergency, performing first aid, triage, and casualty evacuation while maintaining communication and documentation. (1h)
• Scenario 3: Multi-Hazard Drill — A combined scenario involving fire, medical, and structural hazards requiring integrated team response, leadership handover, and resource management. (1h)

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%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
