Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply the accreditation process to simulated client scenarios, review real documentation, and complete accreditation checklists. These hands-on activities reinforce theoretical knowledge and build confidence in managing client accreditation.

Practical Activities

• Client Documentation Review — Learners review sample client files containing incomplete or incorrect documentation and identify gaps or errors. (2h)
• Accreditation Simulation — In groups, learners process a mock accreditation from application to approval using a step-by-step checklist. (2h)
• Compliance Audit Exercise — Learners conduct a compliance audit on a mock accredited client file, identifying non-compliance issues and proposing solutions. (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%
