Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate and monitor a motive power unit in accordance with relevant workplace procedures, rail regulations and codes of practice.It includes operating motive power unit controls, monitoring performance and maintaining operational condition during a journey. It also includes working collaboratively with other train crew and relevant personnel. 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 performed without supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when maintaining the safety and operation of a motive power unit across a variety of operational contexts in the Australian rail system.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 rail corridor 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.
