  • Demonstrate understanding of safety principles and their application in a transport management system.
  • Monitor transport operations to identify safety hazards and non-compliance with safety procedures.
  • Analyze safety data and trends to recommend preventive and corrective actions.
  • Report safety findings and recommendations to relevant stakeholders in a clear and timely manner.
  • Advise on the implementation of safety measures and improvements to the transport management system.

Target Audience

Transport managers, safety officers, and supervisors responsible for monitoring and advising on safety in transport operations. Also suitable for those seeking to enhance their competence in transport safety management.

Practicals

24 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

Practical sessions are integrated throughout the course to allow learners to apply monitoring techniques, analyze real data, and practice advisory communication. These hands-on activities reinforce theoretical concepts and build competence in transport safety monitoring and advisory.

Practical Activities
  • Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Exercise — Learners conduct a simulated hazard identification in a transport environment (e.g., depot or loading bay) and perform a risk assessment using provided tools. (6h)
  • Data Collection and Analysis Simulation — Learners collect safety data from simulated incidents and inspections, then analyze the data to identify trends and root causes. (8h)
  • Advisory Communication Role-Play — Learners prepare and deliver a safety advisory to a simulated management team, addressing a real-world scenario based on analyzed data. (4h)
  • Capstone Practical: Full Monitoring and Advisory Cycle — In groups, learners complete a full cycle from monitoring (inspection) to data analysis, advisory formulation, and presentation of a safety improvement plan. (6h)

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

Certificate of Completion

Awarded to delegates who achieve an overall mark of 50% or higher on the Final Total (Practicals 30% + Daily Average 20% + Final Test 50%).

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.
