Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions reinforce theoretical knowledge through simulated intelligence scenarios, document analysis, and compliance exercises. Learners apply legislative requirements to realistic cases, enhancing their ability to operate within legal frameworks.

Practical Activities

• Scenario-Based Authorization Exercise — Learners work in groups to analyze a simulated intelligence request, determine the correct authorization process, and complete the necessary documentation. (2h)
• Case Law Analysis and Compliance Audit — Using real case summaries, learners identify legislative breaches and propose corrective actions. They then conduct a mock compliance audit of an intelligence file. (2h)
• Role-Play: Oversight and Accountability Hearing — Learners role-play a hearing before the Inspector General of Intelligence, presenting evidence and defending operational decisions against legal scrutiny. (2h)

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%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
