Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals are essential to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. Learners will simulate cargo transfer operations, conduct security inspections, and practice incident response drills to demonstrate competence.

Practical Activities

• Cargo Transfer Simulation — Learners participate in a simulated cargo transfer operation, including pre-transfer planning, equipment setup, loading, and securing cargo. (6h)
• Security Inspection and Access Control — Learners conduct a security inspection of a cargo area, including checking identification, searching vehicles, and monitoring CCTV. (4h)
• Incident Response Drill — Learners respond to a simulated security incident (e.g., theft attempt or suspicious package) following established protocols. (4h)
• Security Audit Exercise — Learners conduct a mock security audit of a cargo transfer operation using a checklist and provide recommendations. (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%
Final Total	—	100%

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