Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate a motive power system by a portable remote control unit in accordance with safeworking and manufacturer instructions, and organisational procedures.It includes preparing a locomotive, setting up portable remote control equipment, operating the system after set up is complete and shutting it down after operation.This equipment is used to control a locomotive remotely when loading, unloading and/or shunting trains within defined limits, terminals, yards or sidings.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.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations or, where this is not available, in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate rail corridor workplace conditions.

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.
