Rail Corridor Construction Course (RCCC) - Recognition of Prior Experience

Description

The Rail Corridor Construction Course (RCCC) is an induction program designed for Work Group Supervisors, Project Managers and Engineers in the rail industry. This course has been tailored based on industry best-practice and to be in accordance with the relevant standards and legislation. The course will be supervised and/or trained by an experienced professional, bringing a depth of knowledge and experience to the learner.

The Recognition of Prior Experience allows work group supervisors and project engineers with a minimum of 3 years experience to proceed directly to the assessment, without attending the face-to-face workshop.

Candidates must first demonstrate their experience through the completion of the Recognition of Prior Experience, supported by the relevant manager. Candidates which do not meet the 3 years of supported experience will be required to enroll in the RCCC workshop.

The assessment of the Prior Experience incurs a cost of $150, regardless of outcome. Successful candidates will be provided a link to then enroll into the online assessment, with an additional cost of $150.

Course aim

The Course aims to provide participants with a greater understanding of ‘rail essentials’ content, and enable learners to make decisions that encourage the following key elements of a rail mindset:

Access control
Protect personnel
Protect public

Target learner group

The target learners for this instance of course delivery are Work Group Supervisors, Project Managers and Engineers in rail. Those who work on rail must maintain currency of skills and competency in a range of safety and technical competencies. Relevant safety related training programs are often mandated by regulation or industry agreements and documented in state codes of practice. Due to the significant safety risks in the industry these employees work within highly proceduralised workplaces with mature workplace safety systems. Workers in the industry are required to regularly complete workplace safety risk assessment and work planning documentation, and therefore bring a solid foundational understanding of risk assessment and workplace safety documentation concepts and practices to the program.

The Recognition of Prior Experience requires evidence of 3 or more years in the role of Work group supervisor or project engineer. This experience must be supported by a relevant manager. The evidence is subject to random audit to confirm validity.
