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!

TLIL3053A - Plan rural passenger train consists

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Identify passenger requirements and resources

  1. Passenger usage patterns, specific bookings and external events likely to influence passenger numbers are monitored and applied to rural passenger train consist planning
  2. Requirements for carriages and motive power units for rural passenger trains are adjusted in light of passenger demand
  3. Train crewing needs and/or constraints are identified to ensure consists are compatible with available resources
  4. Passenger usage patterns are monitored and train configurations are adjusted in accordance with workplace procedures
  5. Shunting and marshalling requirements are identified for planned rural passenger train consists in accordance with timetable requirements
