Assessment/Competency Pathway
Participants will be required to pass Theory, Practical Assessments, On Job Workbook Training and Final Competency Assessments to achieve a competent outcome.
The journey to becoming a qualified Handsignaller is undertaken in stages, often referred to as 'blended delivery' via the following methods:
Stage 1:
Classroom theory training (off-job assessment): Consists of in-class face to face training with a qualified Trainer/Assessor which gives insight and provides instruction on how to assess risk, role of a Handsignaller, source and interpret information, understand commands/instructions, in accordance with the ARTC NSW Network Rules and Procedures. You will be required to successfully complete Written Assessments prior to commencing Stage 2.
Stage 2:
Practical Workbook & On-Job in-field Workbook (OJWB). After successfully completing the Theory Assessments, you will be issued with a Practical Workbook and OJWB, which covers the practical requirements of each Handsignaller level on the ARTC NSW Network, in-field. This component must be supervised by an ARTC NSW qualified and competent HS2. Often referred to as safeworking subject matter experts (SME's)/mentors, they provide instruction and demonstration relating to the activities/tasks outlined in the Practical Workbook and OJWB, which allows the learner to have real time experience, gained from exposure to 'live' operational situations whilst undertaking the role of a Handsignaller Level 1/2, and 'signed off' , attesting you have met the requirements of both the Practical Workbook and OJWB, with additional supporting evidence, to attempt a Final Competency Assessment, per level.
Stage 3:
Final Competency Assessment: On successful completion and validation of the Practical Workbook and OJWB by SCRT, a Final Competency Assessment, per level, needs to be undertaken, one on one, with a qualified ARTC SCRT Trainer and Assessor, which confirms underpinning knowledge required to be deemed competent to perform the role of Handsignaller Level 1 & 2 on the ARTC NSW Network.
On Job Training
To assist you with completing the on-job workbook component, there are several specialised companies, pre-approved to provide safeworking services to ARTC. These companies may be able to assist you in completing your On-Job Workbook training, however the length and duration of your training is governed by the safeworking company/mentor, not SCRT. Please ensure you are completely aware of the specific requirements and processes of your On-Job company/mentor prior to enrolling into the course.
Note: You will need to disclose to SCRT your On-Job company/mentor prior to enrolling into the course.
