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!

TLIL4050A - Allocate rolling stock

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

Identify train consists and passenger and/or freight requirements

  1. Details of train consist and passenger numbers acquired from train planning are evaluated against available resources in accordance with workplace procedures
  2. Train running times and train details are identified to confirm timings in accordance with workplace procedures
  3. Initial estimate of required rolling stock by numbers and types for each rail service is made

Establish available rolling stock

  1. Passenger numbers and class of travel to be catered for with a passenger train are identified to ensure suitable carriages are provided
  2. Types of freight train rolling stock required for the established freight loads and track dimensions are identified in accordance with workplace procedures
  3. Passenger or freight train rolling stock locations are established using available tracking systems and procedures
  4. Serviceability of the required rolling stock is confirmed using appropriate workplace procedures
  5. Support rolling stock for passenger trains (such as dining cars) is located and assigned for each rail service
  6. Rolling stock committed for the rail service is recorded as being required for use prior to positioning for service/loading operations

other relevant aspects of the range statement

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:

through activities in an appropriately simulated environment at the registered training organisation, and/or

in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace

Required Skills and Knowledge
