Course overview

Who this course is for

This course is designed for rail industry professionals responsible for or involved in rail safety, incident investigation, regulatory reporting, or workplace health and safety (WHS). It equips participants with principles and skills that can be applied to rail safety investigations as well as WHS-related incidents, making it highly versatile and practical for a range of operational contexts.

Possible career outcomes

Your Pathway to the Role of Rail Safety Manager: This qualification is your key to unlocking a rewarding career in rail safety management, where you will have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the industry.

Time commitment

The February 2025 intake is a 10-week fast-track program. Students will be enrolled for 6 months and have access to Alium Works’ Learning Management System (LMS), where they access course materials, quizzes, activities, and assessments.

For the first 10 weeks, learners will attend live, online theory sessions one full day each week. During this period, learners should plan to spend 5-6 hours a week on self-study to complete activities and prepare for classes.

After the 10-week theory phase, learners will have fortnightly, 90-minute online support sessions with a qualified trainer and assessor to support ongoing study and assessment.

This initial 10-week period covers the course’s core theoretical content. Recognising that not all assessments will be completed in this time, an additional 4 months is provided for completing all assessments.

Flexible learning pathways

With Alium Works, you have the flexibility to choose the study option that suits you best:

Perfect for professionals seeking accredited, targeted training in rail safety investigations.

1. Fast Track - 10 weeks, 1 day per week, live and online delivery

The initial 10-week period primarily focuses on theoretical learning and course content delivery. Following this initial 10-week phase, learners receive fortnightly 2-hour training and assessment support sessions conducted online with an accredited trainer and assessor—meeting course delivery and assessment requirements.

2. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Route 1: Students with competencies in the TAE training package can map their evidence of competency and currency.

Route 2: Other students can complete the RPL Application Kit & demonstrate sufficient experience in industry to mitigate the requirement to participate in training. If approved by a trainer, the student may undertake an ‘assessment only’ pathway, where theory assessments are completed in the students’ own time and practical assessments are coordinated between the RTO and student.

Where RPL is sought, please note that RPL recognises prior learning, but it is not recognition of current competency.

3. NEW: Complete standalone modules and work towards your Certificate IV

Build your skills and confidence as you select modules and work at your own pace towards achieving a Certificate IV in Rail Safety Management.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    At the Certificate IV level, students are encouraged to engage in independent research on top of the training days. Our course material is designed to foster inquiry-based learning, where students are expected to demonstrate their ability to conduct basic research. We’ve included resource links as part of the course delivery precisely for this purpose.

    Our delivery structure prioritises live demonstrations for two reasons. Firstly, it allows us to guide students to relevant resources, such as the ONRSR website, which is periodically updated. Secondly, live demonstrations offer interactive learning experiences that can enhance understanding and retention of the material. Rather than embedding these resources directly into the learning material, we believe it’s more effective to demonstrate where students can locate them.

    We do offer two options to pursue a recognition of prior learning. However, where RPL is sought, please note that RPL recognises prior learning but is not recognition of current competency.

    • RPL route 1: Students with competencies in the TAE training package can map their evidence of competency and currency.
    • RPL route 2: Other students can complete the RPL Application Kit & demonstrate sufficient experience in industry to mitigate the requirement to participate in training. If approved by a trainer, the student may undertake an ‘assessment only’ pathway, where theory assessments are completed in the students’ own time and practical assessments are coordinated between the RTO and student.
