Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions provide hands-on experience with transport planning software, fleet management simulation, route optimisation tools, and data analysis exercises to reinforce theoretical knowledge and develop applied skills.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Fleet Costing and Budgeting Exercise — Learners use a spreadsheet model to calculate total cost of ownership for a fleet of vehicles and prepare a budget. (16h)
• Practical 2: Route Optimisation Software — Learners use route optimisation software to plan delivery routes for a simulated distribution network. (16h)
• Practical 3: Transport Management System (TMS) Simulation — Learners operate a TMS to manage orders, dispatch vehicles, and track shipments in real-time. (16h)
• Practical 4: Data Analytics and KPI Dashboard — Learners analyse transport data using Excel or a BI tool to create a KPI dashboard and identify improvement areas. (16h)

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.
