Assessment/Competency Pathway

Participants will be required to pass a Theory Assessment, Practical Assessment, On Job Workbook Training and a Final Competency Assessment to achieve a competent outcome.

The journey to becoming a qualified SWL1 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 Safeworking Level 1, 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 Assessment and On-Job Workbook (OJWB). After successfully completing the Theory Assessments, you will be issued with a Practical Assessment and OJWB, which covers the practical requirements of Safeworking Level 1 which must be completed within the ARTC NSW Network, in-field. This component must be supervised by an ARTC NSW competent and qualified Safeworking Level 1. Often referred to as safeworking subject matter experts (SME's)/mentors, they provide instruction and demonstration relating to the activities/tasks outlined in the OJWB, which allows the learner to have real time experience, gained from exposure to 'live' operational situations whilst undertaking the role of a Safeworking Level 1, and 'signed off', attesting you have met the requirements to attempt a Final Competency Assessment. Please note; we do require your SME's Statement of Attainment and RIW Card to attest their competency.

Stage 3:

Final Competency Assessment: On successful completion and validation of the Practical Assessment and OJWB by SCRT, a Final Competency Assessment needs to be undertaken, one on one, with a qualified SCRT Trainer and Assessor, which confirms underpinning knowledge required to be deemed competent to perform the role of Safeworking Level 1 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: Pre-approval from one of these companies must be obtained prior to course commencement. SCRT will confirm this with the nominated company.

Please contact our office for further information on these companies.

Completion

On successful completion of the off job (theory) training and assessment, a Certificate of Partial Completion will be issued confirming partial completion of the course.

Upon successful completion of all three (3) components (Theory Course & Assessment, Practical Assessment, On-Job Workbook and Final Competency Assessment) and successful validation of your supporting evidence, you will receive a Certificate of Achievement for the ARTC NSW Safeworking Level 1 role and a Statement of Attainment recognising completion of the following units:

•   TLIC0084 Access rail track to travel track vehicles under manual block working conditions
•   TLIF3058 Apply safeworking rules and regulations to rail functions
•   TLIW3026 Operate stand alone signalling/point control equipment
•   TLIC0016 Identify and respond to signals and trackside signs

Recertification

Due to the safety critical nature of a Safeworking Level 1 role, you will need to undertake an ARTC NSW recertification every two (2) years.
