Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Learners engage in role-play exercises and case study analyses to apply ethical decision-making frameworks. Practical sessions reinforce the application of norms and values in realistic scenarios.

Practical Activities

• Ethical Decision-Making Scenarios — Learners work in groups to analyse and resolve ethical dilemmas using a structured decision-making model. (1h)
• Role-Play: Upholding Values under Pressure — Learners participate in simulated interactions where they must uphold organisational values while managing challenging scenarios. (1h)

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.
