Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in environmental monitoring, auditing, and emergency response. Learners will use noise meters, conduct air quality sampling, perform wildlife hazard assessments, and simulate spill response. These exercises reinforce theoretical knowledge and develop practical skills essential for flight environment management.

Practical Activities

• Noise Monitoring and Analysis — Learners use sound level meters to measure aircraft noise at various locations around an airport, analyze data, and interpret noise metrics. (16h)
• Air Quality Sampling and Emissions Assessment — Learners conduct air quality sampling using portable monitors, analyze emission data, and assess compliance with air quality standards. (16h)
• Wildlife Hazard Assessment and Management — Learners perform a wildlife survey on an airfield, identify hazardous species, and develop a habitat management plan. (12h)
• Environmental Audit Simulation — Learners role-play as auditors and auditees, conduct a mock environmental audit of an airport operation, and produce an audit report. (12h)
• Spill Response and Emergency Drill — Learners participate in a simulated fuel spill scenario, deploy containment equipment, and practice decontamination procedures. (12h)

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.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.
