Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply theft and fraud detection techniques, operate security equipment, and conduct simulated investigations. These hands-on activities reinforce theoretical knowledge and build competence in real-world scenarios.

Practical Activities

• CCTV and Alarm System Operation — Learners operate CCTV systems, set alarms, and practice monitoring techniques. (4h)
• Fraud Detection at Point of Sale — Learners role-play cashier and customer scenarios to detect fraudulent transactions. (4h)
• Simulated Theft Investigation — Learners conduct a mock investigation of an internal theft case, from evidence collection to report writing. (4h)
• Security Equipment Maintenance and Testing — Learners perform routine checks and basic maintenance on security equipment. (3h)

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.
