Unit of Competency TLIE2031 - Use communication systems for on-track vehicle operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to use communication systems for on-track vehicle operations. It includes identifying systems features, communicating using communications technology, maintaining communications equipment and completing documentation.This unit involves the application of established communication principles and practice, and the use of local technical and colloquial language and vocabulary, in accordance with network owner communications protocols.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 and terminology as defined by the relevant Rail Infrastructure Manager safeworking system including workplace communications procedures, regulations, rules, codes of practice and operation manuals.
