Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are essential to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts. Learners will practice needs assessment, programme design, M&E data collection, and stakeholder engagement through field visits and simulated exercises.

Practical Activities

• Community Profiling Exercise — Learners visit a local community to conduct a participatory needs assessment using observation, interviews, and mapping. (6h)
• Logical Framework Design Workshop — In groups, learners design a logical framework for a hypothetical CBR programme based on the community profile data. (6h)
• Stakeholder Engagement Role-Play — Learners simulate a stakeholder meeting to negotiate roles and resources for a CBR programme. (4h)
• M&E Data Collection Simulation — Using case scenarios, learners collect and analyse M&E data using interviews and record review. (4h)
• Action Plan Presentation — Groups present their complete CBR programme plan including sustainability and exit strategies. (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.
