Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply admission, transfer, and release procedures in simulated environments. These hands-on activities reinforce documentation, assessment, and stakeholder communication skills essential for competent practice.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Admission and Initial Assessment — Learners role-play the admission process using mock offender files, completing forms and conducting risk assessments under supervision. (6h)
• Practical 2: Transfer Coordination and Documentation — Simulate inter-regional transfers by completing transfer forms, coordinating with receiving offices, and updating case management systems. (6h)
• Practical 3: Release Planning and Condition Setting — Conduct pre-release planning sessions, set release conditions, and prepare offenders for supervision using simulated scenarios. (6h)
• Practical 4: Violation Processing and Report Writing — Handle simulated violations by documenting breaches, applying sanctions, and writing reports for revocation hearings. (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

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