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!

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 competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the Elements, Performance Criteria, Required Skills, Required Knowledge and include demonstration of applying:

required knowledge and skills

relevant legislation and workplace procedures

other relevant aspects of the range statement.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

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

Resources for assessment include access to:

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

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

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, and/or

in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This section describes the knowledge and skills required for this unit.

Required knowledge:

Changes in rail industry operations and technology with implications for network control systems

Duty holders and their duties under rail safety legislation

Key concepts and definitions relating to rail assets and interfaces

Key principles and practices associated with railway operations

Key regulatory requirements and standards for participants in the rail industry

Rail industry and rail industry terminology, including terminology used in technical standards

Rail regulatory framework

Rail safety management system

Rail safety operating principles:

ensuring emergencies and incidents are properly managed

ensuring interfaces between different organisations are properly defined and managed

identifying, eliminating and controlling risk

protecting persons from injury

protecting property from damage

track access

train separation

Relevance of national and international standards to the rail industry

Relevant information:

audit program information

changes to regulations

compliance and enforcement regime

rail regulatory requirements

safety notices

Situational awareness

Required skills:

Access and use rail safety industry standards

Communicate effectively with others and interpret complex information relating to rail operations

Develop and maintain currency of rail industry knowledge and regulatory requirements

Network and build relationships with a diverse range of rail industry organisations

Research information related to the rail industry and rail regulations

Review changing regulatory information

Work ethically in accordance with legislation

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
