Practicals

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

Practical sessions allow learners to apply compliance concepts to real-world routing and scheduling scenarios. These hands-on exercises reinforce understanding of legal requirements, use of compliance software, and documentation practices.

Practical Activities
  • Practical 1: Route Compliance Planning — Learners use route planning software to design a compliant route for a hazardous goods delivery, considering road restrictions and permit requirements. (8h)
  • Practical 2: Scheduling with Driver Hours Compliance — Learners create a driver schedule that adheres to working hours regulations, using scheduling software with compliance checks. (8h)
  • Practical 3: Compliance Audit Simulation — Learners conduct an internal audit on a set of provided routing and scheduling records, identifying non-compliance issues and documenting findings. (8h)
  • Practical 4: Incident Reporting and Documentation — Learners simulate an incident (e.g., overload violation) and complete all required reporting forms and corrective action plans. (6h)

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

Certificate of Completion

Awarded to delegates who achieve an overall mark of 50% or higher on the Final Total (Practicals 30% + Daily Average 20% + Final Test 50%).

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.
