Description

Scope
This qualification provides competencies to install, certify, fault find and maintain rail signalling equipment and systems. This includes ERAC requirements for an ‘Electrician’s licence’, performing like for like replacement, performing authorised installations and alterations, and applying emergency operational restriction. It excludes changing circuit principles, changing the design function and commissioning.
Note:
Commissioning is defined as the process to certify the signalling system to the enterprise standard. Certification is defined as the signing of certification documents by qualified, competent persons attesting to the design, product, or installation is in accordance with the specification requirements as verified by appropriate inspections and/or tests at equipment level.
^ From 1 July 2022 the elective unit HLTAID001 must no longer be delivered and will be replaced in the Packaging Rules by the unit HLTAID009 - for more information see: https://asqa.gov.au/news-events/news/reminder-about-superseded-hlt-first-aid-units

Schedule
Packaging Rules
The requirements for granting this qualification will be met when competency is demonstrated and achieved for:
- Thirty two (32) core units and
- A combination of elective units to achieve a total weighting of 70 points:
- A maximum of 30 weighting points may be chosen from Group A Imported and Common Elective Units
- A maximum of 40 weighting points may be chosen from Group B Elective Units
- A minimum of 30 to a maximum of 70 weighting points to be chosen from Group C Elective Units

Imported units from other training packages and/or state accredited courses can be added to this group, but they must be selected from qualifications where the unit is first packaged at AQF level 4. If units have not being assigned a weighting by the relevant EE-Oz Industry Technical Advisory Committee, their weighting will be 10 points.

Note:
1. Prerequisite pathways shall be identified and met for all elective units selected.
2. In selecting elective units considerations to career planning advice should be given to units that form part of a prerequisite pathway for the progression to achieve particular competencies or qualification at a higher level.
