This course begins with four days of trainer-led classroom learning, where you will develop the knowledge and skills required to safely perform the roles requirements. During the classroom component, you will complete knowledge assessments to demonstrate your understanding.
 
Following the classroom training, you will be required to complete an in-field logbook in your workplace. This practical experience must be organised by you and completed under the supervision of a qualified workplace mentor, who will verify your competency in performing the required tasks.
 
Once your logbook has been completed, you will return to TICRail to undertake a final practical assessment, where one of our qualified assessors will observe your skills and confirm your competency against the requirements of the unit.

Please note that the final practical assessment is booked separately and attracts an additional assessment fee.

• Knowledge assessments: Written tests to evaluate participants' understanding of the course material.
• In-field logbook: Participants complete tasks under the supervision of a qualified mentor, documenting their experiences and competencies in a logbook.
• Practical observation assessments: Hands-on activities where participants demonstrate their skills in a controlled environment.
