The following assessment methods are to be applied to collect the required assessment evidence in accordance with training package requirements:
Performance Assessment
The candidate will be required to demonstrate their practical skills set integrated with their knowledge during practical assessment activities. These activities are sourced from varying equipment inspection, pre-operational site checks, equipment donning and doffing and also fault finding and reporting. Trainers will regularly challenge test candidates throughout the course on varying equipment and mark their practical checklist accordingly.
Written Theory Assessment
The candidate will be required to satisfactorily complete theory assessment comprising 14 short answer & multiple-choice questions. These will be marked on the spot in order to provide the candidate with immediate feedback and to allow them to identify areas for further development.
Participation in a Practical Scenario
All candidates are required to take part in a practical scenario to complete the course. The activity will be assessed using a holistic approach to enable participants to gain a better understanding of the varying roles and responsibilities
This unit of competence has been drawn from the nationally endorsed industry training package UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector R1.0. On successfully completing the training and assessment, a Statement of Attainment (SoA) for the unit UETTDRMP006 Perform pole top rescue will be issued. The unit of competency is nationally recognised and provides individuals with a valuable qualification that can be applied throughout Australia
The course will be delivered using different modes of delivery involving classroom based instruction and practical skills development sessions. Training will be coordinated from MIWT head office and delivered in a simulated work environment or at the MIWT training facility Warehouse 21 located in Station Street Moonah Tasmania.
Candidates will participate in facilitated learning sessions using PowerPoint presentations, handouts and discussion. During practical sessions, candidates will be asked to work in pairs and facilitated through a range of practical skills using various height safety equipment. Participants will learn skills through practical instruction using demonstrated performance methods such as: Demonstration, explanation.
Elective Units
