Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are integral to this course, enabling learners to apply threat assessment methodologies in realistic scenarios. Learners conduct site surveys, analyse risks, and present mitigation plans, reinforcing theoretical knowledge through hands-on practice.

Practical Activities

• Site Survey and Threat Identification — Learners conduct a mock site survey of a simulated installation, documenting physical security weaknesses and potential threat sources. (4h)
• Risk Analysis and Report Writing — Learners analyse collected data using risk matrices, calculate risk levels, and produce a professional risk assessment report. (4h)
• Final Integrated Practical Assessment — Learners complete a comprehensive threat assessment for a new simulated installation, including survey, analysis, and presentation of mitigation 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.

Certificate

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.
