Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Implement pre-departure checks

  1. Train, or relevant portion of the train, is checked to ensure that rolling stock is coupled and sequenced correctly
  2. Rolling stock is checked to ensure it is fit for operation in accordance with regulatory requirements and organisational procedures
  3. Assistance is provided when train braking systems are tested to ensure they are operating effectively
  4. Visual inspection is conducted to identify obvious faults or defects that would prevent safe transit
  5. Action is taken within limits of own role to rectify faults and ensure minimum delay to planned running schedule
  6. Relevant OH&S requirements are followed to prevent injury and damage

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of applying:

underpinning knowledge and skills

relevant legislation and workplace procedures

other relevant aspects of the range statement

Assessment must include exercises that demonstrate competent performance of the following in a range of situations:

carrying out all pre-departure checks correctly

identifying typical faults and defects for the type of rolling stock being operated

applying appropriate methods to overcome identified faults and defects

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or

access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and

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

Method of assessment

Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation

As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests

Practical assessment must occur:
