    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    Similar Rail Systems:

    The following countries that run systems similar to the high speed inter-city operation in South Africa were sourced for a comparison:
  • France.
  • Algeria.
  • Philippines.
  • South Korea.
  • Greece.
  • Arab Emirates.

    The countries were selected as they are rail service providers who operate with the ATP system and are most relevant to the South African context in terms of infrastructure, equipment, rolling stock, and skills requirements and development. In addition, these examples are recognized internationally as quality providers of rail services.

    Paris (France):

    RATP (Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens) has been in the transport industry since 1900 and is the operator of the Paris Metropolitan as well as suburban trains in the Paris Region. It represents 14 metro lines and 2 sub-urban lines.

    RATP has developed, updated and improved over the years a complete set of training materials to train their operating staff. There is no qualification body in France that specifically certifies training materials, but they are part of the safety cases of our transport systems and have therefore been approved by the French Transport Department.

    Algeria (North Africa): Algiers Metro Line 1:

    In Algeria there is no qualification authority for the training as in South Africa (SA), but the City of Algiers chose the RATP training process for their hundred years old expertise to elaborate the training plan and the training material.

    The Line 1 is a railway system similar to the High-Speed Intercity operation which will initially be operated in Gauteng, it will commence operations in 2009 and includes the following aspects:
  • ATP control.
  • Operation Control System.
  • SCADA.
  • Station management System.
  • 9 underground stations and 1 at-grade station

    Different profiles exist:
  • Passenger train driver.
  • Control centre supervisor.
  • Versatile managers - to be compared with Route Supervisor and Customer Service Officer in SA.
  • Station manager - to be compared with Customer Service Assistant in SA.

    The RATP trainers are training the future managers who will then train the new employees themselves.

    The training process includes:
  • Classroom training.
  • Company procedures.
  • Emergency procedures.
  • Safe working practices.
  • Practice on equipments.

    Manila (Philippines): MRT 3:

    The Department of Transport and Communication (DOTC) in the Philippines is the operator of the second line in Manila opened in December 1999. This system is also similar to the High-speed Intercity operation that is being implemented in South Africa.

    No unit standards are in use in Philippines for the content of training programs as well as the certification process.

    Currently the training starts with the training of managers and then cascades down to all staff (Train Drivers, Signalling Operators, and Station Supervisors).

    Formal certification is delivered by the DOTC for the completion of the training process.

    Seoul (South Korea): Incheon International Airport Link (Airport Railroad Co - AREX).

    This railroad operator was chosen for their similarity to the high speed inter-city operation in South Africa.

    AREX and other Korean railroad companies do not have unit standard based qualifications for comparison purposes. The learning programmes, though, correlate with the contents of learning programmes and syllabus in the South African context.

    Different profiles exist in this company, for example:
  • Passenger Train Driver versus Train Driver in the Republic of South Africa (RSA).
  • Control Centre Officer versus Train Control Officer in RSA.
  • There is no Conductor (Train Assistant) in these trains.
  • Station staff versus Customer Service Staff.

    The training, provided by railway operating companies, lasts between 2- 4 months. This includes classroom training, company procedures, safe working practices and emergency procedures. It also offers the opportunity to practice equipments under expert supervision.

    The Training process is under the control of the Korea Railroad Research Institute (KRRI) who provides the "Permit to Operate".

    Athens (Greece): Proastiakos:

    In Athens (Greece), the training is conducted by RATP Expert Trainers. This training was based on the French Parisian RATP model.

    There was no equivalent of South Africa's Standard Units or Standard Generating Bodies.

    As far as the system is concerned, the Train Control is based on the ERTMS European standard. The Rolling stock is of EMU type and the whole operation is supervised and controlled from a unique Operation Control Centre.

    Certification of the train drivers: The certification is awarded by a Committee made of three Representatives:
  • A Representative of the Ministry of Transport.
  • A Representative of the Greek National Railways (OZE), i.e. the Infrastructure Manager (OZE owns the infrastructure).
  • A Representative of the training entity (RATP Development).

    Some specific training is given by specific entities for:
  • Electricity Level 1.
  • Safety Induction.

    Dubai (Arab Emirates) Red and Green Lines:

    In Dubai, the design and construction of the Red and Green Lines driverless system is supervised by Systra, a RATP subsidiary.

    The Rules & Procedures as well as all the Training material are drafted by the future Operator (Serco), with the assistance of RATP Experts.

    For the time being, there is no equivalent of South Africa's Standard Units.

    However, the RTA (Road and Transports Authority) is entering into a corporation with the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) to support the Certification/regulation of railway lines in Dubai.

    This certification process may be based on UK standards.

    In the UK the Modular Rule Book has been introduced where employers can select from a suite of modules the particular task instructions applicable to the role of their staff. There are 50 modules containing task based instructions and a module specifically to publish small amounts of changes to the Rule Book that do not justify the reissue of the module concerned

    The modules below are likely to be applicable to typical roles within the railway industry:
  • PTS = PTS competency only
  • HSM = Handsignaller competency. This requires PTS and at least IWA competency.
  • P/O = Points operator competency. This requires PTS and at least IWA unless person is restricted to working with a RSA.
  • RSA = Route setting agent. This requires PTS and at least IWA, if working with a P/O must be COSS.
  • LCA = Level crossing attendant. This requires PTS and at least IWA.
  • Lookout = Lookout and site warden competency. This requires PTS.
  • IWA = Individual working alone competency. This requires PTS.
  • COSS = Controller of site safety competency. This requires PTS.
  • PC = Protection Controller competency. This requires PTS and COSS.
  • ES = Engineering Supervisor. This requires PTS and COSS.
  • PICOP = Person in charge of possession competency. This requires PTS and at least IWA.
  • M/C = Machine controller competency. This requires PTS and COSS.
  • M/O = Machine operator. This requires PTS.
  • Sig/Tech = Signalling Technician competency. This requires PTS.
  • TSR = A person who sets up Emergency and temporary speed restrictions. This requires PTS.
  • Ctlr = Operations Controller.
  • Pilot/n = Pilotman competency. This requires PTS and at least IWA competency.
  • DP = Designated Person competency.
  • Sig'r = Signaller.

    New Zealand

    Qualifications from New Zealand were sourced for a comparison as they are a major rail service provider and are linked to a National Qualifications Framework.

    New Zealand has registered qualifications for rail which cover similar outcomes:

    Qualifications include:

    National Certificate in Rail Transport (Ref: 0958): Level 2, 70 Credits.

    This is an introductory certificate for people entering a career in rail transport. The aim of this qualification is to provide recognition for the attainment of a basic level of competence across the range of skills that comprise rail transport. The certificate offers the following compulsory areas:
  • Occupational Health and Safety Practices.
  • Interpersonal Communications.
  • Reading, Writing and problem-solving.
  • Basic knowledge of railway signals.
  • Knowledge of rail transport.

    The certificate includes specialization areas:
  • Engineering Core Skills.
  • Passenger Service.
  • Powered Industrial Lift Trucks.

    National Certificate in Rail Infrastructure (Ref: 1112): Level 3, 110 Credits.

    This is a certificate for people working within rail infrastructure. The aim of this qualification is to provide recognition for the attainment of a broad range of competencies related to the maintenance of track, structures and signals within the rail industry.

    This certificate is the second in a series of qualifications in the rail industry, it includes all of the unit standards contained in the National Certificate in Rail Transport (Level 2) [Ref: 0958]. Therefore, candidates who have already gained the level 2 certificate need only complete the additional unit standards required. The certificate offers the following compulsory areas:
  • Occupational Health and Safety Practices.
  • Interpersonal Communications.
  • Reading, Writing and problem-solving.
  • Basic knowledge of railway signals.
  • Knowledge of rail transport.
  • Operate under track protection rules.
  • Knowledge of rail network centres used to control the movement of rail service vehicles.

    The certificate includes specialization areas:
  • Engineering Core Skills.
  • Passenger Service.
  • Powered Industrial Lift Trucks.

    Conclusion:

    Most international rail operators working within the High-speed Intercity system do not have separate qualifications for train operations under defined working conditions, however training is based on expertise in the industry and regulated either by Government or Rail Regulating bodies. The qualifications in New Zealand and this qualification are similar in concept where staff is given the opportunity to receive a qualification that includes the management of passenger services and traffic control centres. There is every indication that the competence envisaged as outcomes for this qualification have their parallel in other countries.

    The South African context, with its emphasis on transformation, and particularly the provision of routes to qualification, fully justifies this qualification as part of a career and learning pathway for Train Operational staff within the High-speed Inter-city rail operation.
