Assessment Conditions

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations, where it is appropriate to do so. Where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated conditions involving realistic and authentic activities that replicate operational 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 must include access to: relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities, equipment and PPE currently used in industry for performing rail traction switching operations to a given schedule applicable documentation, including workplace requirements, switching schedules, electrical operating diagrams, permits, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
