CATEGORY NAME

CATEGORY DESCRIPTION

1.2.100   Assistant Signalling Installer  

Covers installing and wiring signalling or control systems equipment under the direction of a licensed signalling installer.

 

1.2.110 Signaller Installer

Covers installing and wiring signalling equipment, using measuring equipment, and carrying out installation integrity checks, such as wire counts and continuity checks. 

 

1.8.100 Signalling Team Leader

Covers organising and controlling work activities of a team or teams; ensuring that sufficient resources are available and contributing to technical leadership on engineering activities; and also responsible for the work of the team and the handover to others.

The holding of the Signalling Installer licence is a pre-requisite for this licence for leaders of installation teams.

 

1.2.140 Installation Manager(s)

Covers managing installation groups, each consisting of a number of teams engaged in the installation of signalling equipment.

 

1.4.160 Maintenance Tester(s)

Signalling Maintenance Testers will be responsible for undertaking the testing activities in support of the maintenance of operational signalling equipment

Whilst undertaking testing activities they will;

Identify the testing requirements
Undertake defined tests
Identify where systems and equipments are not to specification

Provide suitable and sufficient evidence to confirm that the renewed and repaired signalling equipment is fit for entry into service

 

Candidates can if required allow the school to carry out assessments as part of the training course. This will consist of completion of registration documentation and other required paperwork upon successful completion of a training course and explanation of the licensing scheme including the assessments process and appeals procedure. Once this paperwork has been completed S&T training will agree with the employees manager a suitable time for the candidate to re-visit the school to have their assessment completed (out visits can also be arranged). It is expected that during the interim period of completing a course and returning to be assessed the candidate will have gained experience on the equipment for which they received training and this experience entered into their IRSE logbook. 

This we feel is an important step in the right direction to give people the correct training for their respective roles plus offer licensing as part of the training process. we hope this will be seen by all as an invaluable benefit to any employer.

Skilled A1 assessors and V1 Verifiers along with RTAS approved COSS assessors are available to carry out signalling assessments and are available (subject to availability) to carry out assessments externally from the training centre. Please call us for further details.

(This costs of this service are in addition to the cost of the training course)
