Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to assemble and wire internal rail signalling equipment for location boxes, enclosures and equipment rooms.It includes following workplace procedures, assembling and mounting components, performing internal wiring, terminating cables, and wiring and testing to certify equipment.Persons 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, rules and/or guidelines.No other 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.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable workplace operational situations that replicate 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 must include access to:

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

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry

relay, racks/frames/enclosures, switch circuit controllers, telephone technology and vital computer-based interlocking modules

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