What an assessment for TLIL3035 must cover

46 assessable components: 4 elements (13 performance criteria), 19 performance evidence and 14 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Identify train operating requirements

  • 1.1Train timetables, shunting requirements and track conditions for each line or service are identified and records are kept up to date
  • 1.2Tonnage of individual trains is identified to enable planning of suitable motive power
  • 1.3Routine usage of motive power units is established to provide an initial allocation framework
  • 1.4Contingency plans covering operational problems are developed and their impact on motive power requirements are taken into account

2 Establish motive power requirements and availability

  • 2.1Availability of all motive power units is determined including location, operational status, special and routine maintenance requirements
  • 2.2Motive power required to haul tonnage is determined for each train/service and support activity consistent with track geography, gauge, train weight and conditions is identified

3 Allocate individual motive power units

  • 3.1Motive power units, including railcar and locomotive types, are allocated to ensure train and support activities are serviced
  • 3.2Allocations are documented and communicated to operations personnel and feedback is sought to ensure suitability of units planned
  • 3.3Relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements are identified and included in allocation considerations
  • 3.4Documentation authorising the use of allocated motive power for the train service is completed and processed

4 Monitor and adjust motive power allocation

  • 4.1Use and requirements for motive power are monitored and possible allocation changes are determined to maintain efficient use of resources
  • 4.2Contingency plans for unexpected non-availability of specific motive power units or operational non-performance are implemented
  • 4.3Changes to allocation are negotiated with operational personnel and motive power maintenance personnel to achieve suitable outcomes

Performance evidence

  • adjusting motive power allocation
  • applying relevant safeworking system and workplace procedures
  • communicating and negotiating effectively with others
  • completing relevant documentation
  • establishing motive power requirements and availability, and allocating individual motive power units
  • identifying job hazards and taking required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards
  • identifying train operating requirements
  • implementing contingency plans
  • interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritising work
  • modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments
  • monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule
  • operating and adapting to differences in equipment in accordance with operating procedures
  • reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures and information
  • reading and interpreting train graphs and diagrams
  • reporting and/or rectifying problems, faults or malfunctions in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
  • selecting and using relevant computing and communications equipment and materials when allocating motive power
  • selecting and using required personal protective equipment (PPE) conforming to industry and work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) standards
  • working collaboratively with others when allocating motive power
  • working systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment

Knowledge evidence

  • allocation and maintenance schedules for motive power units
  • applicable state/territory legislated rail safety requirements, relevant codes of practice and/or guidelines
  • communication and negotiation requirements when allocating motive power
  • crew requirements and working patterns
  • documentation and record requirements
  • emergency management procedures
  • equipment and materials used when allocating motive power, and procedures that should be followed in their use
  • gauges, distance, gradients and tonnages for relevant track area
  • motive power units and specifications, capabilities and capacity
  • problems that may occur when allocating motive power and appropriate action that can be taken to resolve these problems
  • relevant WHS/OHS and environmental procedures and regulations, including codes of practice
  • timetables and train details
  • track specifications and limitations
  • workplace procedures and policies for allocating motive power

Questions about assessing TLIL3035

What does an assessment tool for TLIL3035 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for TLIL3035 needs to address all 46 unit components: 4 elements with 13 performance criteria, 19 performance evidence requirements, 14 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for TLIL3035?

Auditori pulls the current release of TLIL3035 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for TLIL3035 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing TLIL3035 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of TLIL3035, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
