This course is made up of exercises and case studies delivered alongside the theory — no separate practical sessions are required to complete it.
Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course and a final summative test at the end.
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 30% to the final total.
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 70% to the overall mark.
| Component | Out of | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Average (multiple choice) | 100% | 30% |
