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!

other relevant aspects of the range statement

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

demonstrating correct management techniques

identifying typical faults or defects that may occur

using correct communication protocols when driving and monitoring on-track equipment

correctly responding to trackside signs and signals

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 organisational

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

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and

applicable documentation including organisational 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
