Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions provide hands-on experience with order management and payment processing systems. Learners engage in simulated real-world scenarios to reinforce theoretical knowledge and develop procedural competence.

Practical Activities

• Order Entry and Verification — Learners use an order management system to enter customer and vehicle details, verify stock availability, and generate a purchase order. (4h)
• Payment Processing and Receipting — Learners process payments using simulated POS and payment gateway systems, handle deposits and part-payments, and issue receipts. (4h)
• Reconciliation and Discrepancy Resolution — Learners reconcile payments against invoices, identify discrepancies, and take corrective actions. (4h)
• Integrated End-to-End Simulation — Learners complete a full transaction cycle from order entry to final reconciliation, including handling an amendment and a payment issue. (4h)

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.
