Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate and monitor a motive power unit on a main line in accordance with safeworking requirements, network owner and/or organisational policies and procedures. It includes driving, monitoring and controlling train running and responding to changing operating factors on a railway main line. It also includes stabling or handing over a motive power unit in accordance with organisational requirements.This unit can be applied to single motive power units or multiple consist freight, heavy haul or passenger trains.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 on a railway main line.

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
