ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS

GuidanceThe candidates must complete this assessment as a crew of Driver and a Guard. Each must however write down their responseand then present their answers in turn. You will need to provide each person with the scenarios and paper to write down theirresponses. Ensure they write their name on the top of the papers and the scenario number.

Each Group will be given 2 scenarios to work through and 15 minutes to develop their solution. They are to work on theirindividual solution. Once the development time is up the responses are to be handed to the Assessor.

Each crew will be called into a room or to a location, given their responses back and then asked to present their solution to theAssessor.

Each candidate will have 2 minutes to present their solution (Driver then Guard Action). The trainer/assessor will check theirresponse against the marking guide. The Assessor can ask question to seek clarity to the information provided and/or to moderate

the responses. Moderated responses are to be added to the written responses.

When all of the groups have presented their solutions the Assessor will provide feedback to the candidates on all of the scenarios.

Where a candidate has not provided sufficient evidence in their response the Assessor may:

Give them a new scenario to work through and represent or

Orally question the them against a new scenario to draw evidence of competence

Guidance on Conduct of Assessment Prepare assessment forms so there is a front and second page and 2 scenarios per candidate. Pack them into crew

groups with scenarios 1 and 2 for the first group and then so on.

Issue assessment forms and paper to crew groups.

Read out the Guidance to Candidates

Use effective questioning technique to probe the information provided to gauge the depth of understanding of their roleand relationship with the Train Captain and operation of the train. The questions may include as examples:

- If the Train Captain had a different assessment that you, then what authority would you state to supportyour position?

- How did you come to that conclusion?

- If the Train Captain asked you to proceed to the next station what would be some of your safetyconsiderations and how would you monitor those?

- As the Guard on the train, did you consider any options that may assist in resolving the problem?

- If you thought of that alternative or solution how would you have communicated that to the Driver orTrain Captain?

Once you are satisfied that sufficient evidence has been gathered from the crew on that scenarios, rotate to the nextcrew and apply the same process.

Once all the groups have presented their solution to their scenarios Provide feedback to all candidates on all of thescenarios.
