Practical Activities
  • Equipment Familiarisation and Inspection — Learners inspect and operate CIT vehicles, safes, and communication equipment under supervision. (4h)
  • Cash Collection and Delivery Simulation — Learners perform simulated cash collection and delivery at mock client sites, following standard operating procedures. (6h)
  • Defensive Tactics and Firearm Drills — Learners practice defensive techniques and firearm safety in a controlled environment with inert weapons. (6h)
  • Integrated Scenario Exercise — Teams conduct a full CIT operation including collection, transit, delivery, and response to an armed robbery scenario. (8h)

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

Practical Assignments (rubric-scored) 100% 30%
Daily Average (multiple choice) 100% 20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) 100% 50%
