Manage train crewing and rostering

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage train crewing and rostering, in accordance with regulatory and organisational requirements and codes of practice.

It includes preparing to manage train crewing and rostering, establishing a crew resourcing framework, managing the development of train crew rosters, and monitoring train crew rosters.

This unit also includes a strong focus on train crew fitness for work and rail safety worker competency requirements.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
