This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to berth and shut down an electric tram.

It includes determining a required berthing location; berthing, shutting down and securing a tram; carrying out all required post-operational activities; and completing post-operational paperwork.

People achieving competence in this unit will need to fulfil the applicable state/territory legislated rail safety requirements and to comply with relevant codes of practice and/or guidelines, as well as relevant tramway regulatory requirements.

Work is performed under minimal supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures when berthing and shutting down an electric tram, as part of workplace activities across a variety of operational contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
