In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

This qualification does not replace any other qualification and is not replaced by any other qualification. 

PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
This qualification will:
  • Enable the qualifying learner to safely and effectively install railway signalling equipment and perform scheduled maintenance tasks
  • Prepare the learner to progress through learning in the railway signalling environment to a qualification in the fault-finding and repair of railway signalling equipment at NQF Level 4

    The core and elective unit standards provide credits that allow the learner access to both vertically and horizontally articulated qualifications in the electrical engineering and construction field.

    The social status, productivity and employability of the qualifying learner within the electrical engineering and construction field will be enhanced, thereby contributing to the quality and skills required in this field. Learners will acquire occupational skills, which will enable them to engage in other technically related activities and the creation of small businesses, through the critical cross-field component of the qualification.

    Rationale for the qualification
    Railway signalling forms a critical part of the infrastructure of a rail transport system and contributes to the safe and efficient control of rail traffic. In a railway environment, emphasis is placed on safety, reliability and availability of operating systems. It thus follows that for railway signalling systems and equipment to align to these criteria, it is vitally important that signalling equipment be installed safely and correctly to meet standards as depicted in railway signalling engineering specifications. It is equally important that scheduled maintenance be performed timeously as per specifications to enhance and maintain the reliability, availability and safety of train operations.

    This qualification equips the learner with the required skills, knowledge and understanding required to effectively perform installation and scheduled maintenance of railway signalling equipment to the required standards.

    Learners credited with this qualification and who apply the acquired knowledge and skills can help address the critical shortage of qualified personnel in the railway signalling industry.

    For the new learner, this qualification recognises the applied competence needed by a productive person in a structured workplace and forms the basis for further development.

    For learners who have acquired experience in the workplace, this qualification may be obtained in part or in whole through RPL by formally acknowledging workplace skills acquired without the benefit of formal education or training. 

  • LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    This qualification assumes that the learner's competencies include but are not limited to the following:
  • Knowledge and ability to effectively use engineering hand and power tools.
  • Knowledge of electrical wiring techniques and the ability to harness, route and terminate electrical conductors.
  • Knowledge and ability to solder electrical conductors and components.
  • An understanding of heath and safety in a working environment and the application thereof.
  • Knowledge and ability to perform first-aid and fire-fighting
  • An understanding of the principles of electricity.
  • Knowledge and understanding of railway signalling principles, elements and philosophies.
  • Assembly of railway signalling equipment which must include but is not limited to a railway track circuit, an electrical railway signal, an electrical points machine, components of an electrical signalling interlocking system and an apparatus case.
  • Electrical wiring of railway signalling equipment which must include but is not limited to a railway track circuit, an electrical railway signal, an electrical points machine, components of an electrical signalling interlocking system and an apparatus case.

    Recognition of prior learning

    This qualification may be obtained in part or in whole through RPL. The learner should be thoroughly briefed on the mechanism to be used and support and guidance should be provided. Care should be taken that the mechanism used provides the learner with an opportunity to demonstrate competence and is not so onerous as to prevent learners from taking up the RPL option towards gaining a qualification.

    Integrated assessment

    Assessors and moderators should develop and conduct their own integrated assessment by using a range of formative and summative assessment methods.

    Unit standards in the qualification must be used to assess specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes and essential embedded knowledge.

    During integrated assessments the assessor should use formative and summative assessment methods and should assess applied competence.

    The applied competence (practical, foundational and reflexive competencies) of this qualification will be achieved if a learner is able to achieve all the exit level outcomes of this qualification.

    Assessors should assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience.

    A detailed portfolio of evidence is required to prove practical, applied and foundational competencies of the learner. 

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    This qualification was compared with the Transport and Distribution Qualifications (Rail Infrastructure) on the Australian National Training Information Service.

    Units of competencies related to railway signalling as generated in Australia were obtained from the National Training Information Service (Web Site: www.ntis.gov.au), Certificate (levels i - iv) in Transport and Distribution (Rail Infrastructure).

    After scrutinising these, it was evident that the format and structure utilised within the Transport and Distribution Industry Specific Units (TDT02) - Equipment Checking and Maintenance, was different to those prescribed by SAQA. The technical content in the units of competencies were not specific and covered a broad spectrum of equipment and tasks. This resulted in broad assessment criteria.

    It was also found that although the Australian Qualifications Framework comprises thirteen national qualifications, the first five qualifications in the vocational education and training sector compare favourably with the FET levels within the NQF.

    The SGG/SGA could not find any standards within the discipline of Railway Signalling in other African countries where Railway Signalling is utilised.

    Various Railway companies in Africa have approached Transnet to assist in the training of their signalling maintenance officials. Once this is effected, the unit standards generated in South Africa will be utilised for such training.

    The core and elective unit standards that form part of this qualification have been developed to ensure alignment with the engineering practices embraced by the Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE).

    The IRSE is an international professional institution associated with railway signalling and allied professions. The institution aims to advance for public benefit, the science and practice of signalling engineering within the industry and to maintain high standards of knowledge of the profession. The IRSE recognises and encourages Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to keep abreast of new developments in science and technology within the railway signalling and associated disciplines.

    Efforts to obtain British National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) related railway signalling were unsuccessful. The NVQs are not accessible and could not be used for benchmarking.

    During the development of the unit standards cognisance was taken of the implementation of a National Railway Safety Regulator. The National Railway Safety Regulator promotes and controls safe rail operations and recognises that this is fundamental to the safety of all persons and the environment. The unit standards in railway signalling were aligned to these ideals.
