Unit of Competency TLIW5002 - Manage rail assets and interfaces
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage rail assets and interfaces, in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements.It includes managing rail infrastructure fixed assets and maintenance regimes; managing rail operation fixed assets and management regimes; applying reliability, availability, maintainability and safety of rail infrastructure; and managing wheel rail interface. This unit involves knowledge of rail assets in general terms. It covers the different rail infrastructure and operational components and can be applied to freight, heavy haul or passenger rail systems.No 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.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in rail workplace operational situations or, where this is not available, in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate rail 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 include:

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

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, rail industry standards, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
