Practicals

16 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in resource management tasks such as planning, procurement documentation, inventory management, and quality inspection. Learners will apply theoretical concepts to realistic cable jointing scenarios, reinforcing skills in resource allocation, team coordination, and quality assurance.

Practical Activities
  • Resource Planning and Procurement Exercise — Learners work in groups to develop a resource plan for a cable jointing project, including material lists, tool requirements, and procurement schedules. (4h)
  • Inventory Management Simulation — Learners manage a simulated inventory of cable jointing materials, practicing stock control, reordering, and storage techniques. (4h)
  • Team Coordination and Communication Role-Play — Learners role-play as resource managers and team members, coordinating tasks, conducting briefings, and resolving conflicts in a simulated cable jointing project. (4h)
  • Quality Inspection and Assurance Practical — Learners perform quality inspections on sample cable joints using checklists and testing equipment, documenting findings and recommending corrective actions. (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
