Unit of Competency TLIC3046 - Drive and operate electric passenger train
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to drive and operate an electric passenger train to operational requirements in accordance with safeworking and regulatory requirements and workplace procedures.It includes applying train management techniques to manage the movement of a train, conducting all movements and related activities required to meet operational requirements, changing ends, and handing over a train to a relief crew.People achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable state/territory legislated rail safety requirements and to comply with relevant codes of practice and/or guidelines.Work is generally performed without supervision and within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when driving electric passenger trains to operational requirements as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian rail systems.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Practical assessment must occur in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace.

A simulator assessment is not suitable for the final assessment of this unit of competency

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
