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 TVO 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 Track Vehicle Operator, source and interpret information, understand commands/instructions, in accordance with the ARTC 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 Track Vehicle Operator which must be completed within the ARTC Network, in-field. This component must be supervised by an ARTC competent and qualified Track Vehicle Operator. 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 Track Vehicle Operator, 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 Track Vehicle Operator on the ARTC NSW Network.

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 Track Vehicle Operator role and a Statement of Attainment recognising completion of the following units:

•   TLIC0025 Pilot rail traffic within work on track authority limits.
•   TLIC0083 Access rail track to travel track vehicle under proceed authority (TVO)
•   TLIC2054 Access rail track to run vehicle within defined worksite
•   TLIC0016 Identify and respond to signals and trackside signs
•   TLIF2097 Use audible track warning devices


Due to the safety critical nature of a Track Vehicle Operator role, you will need to undertake an ARTC recertification every two (2) years.
