Description	This module forms a compulsory part of the apprenticeship standard. It is completed in parallel with the student’s individual research project (worth 60 credits in total). The aim of the module is to demonstrate the student’s skills and behaviours in the context of their rail industry employment and their awareness of the rail industry, their chosen sector and the impact of their work on the wider industry. Students will prepare and present a portfolio of evidence (e.g. on UoB’s PebblePad system) in support of the apprenticeship standard’s skills, knowledge and behaviours. Evidence presented in the portfolio will be authenticated by the workplace supervisor(s). Assessment will involve an occupational competence interview (60 minutes involving 10 open questions) with an independent assessor, outlining the learning achieved and project(s) undertaken in the workplace and the accompanying 60-credit project(s). The portfolio of evidence and project reports support the topic of the interview.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the Module, students should be able to: Demonstrate the skills and behaviours as defined in the Rail and Rail Systems Senior Engineer apprenticeship standard, and answer a series of questions around projects undertaken and on the portfolio of evidence. Demonstrate development in their transferable skills appropriate to the workplace, such as management, teamwork, communication, commercial awareness and project planning and implementation; Reflect upon their role within the employer’s business, the impact of policy and/or governance on their work and the impact of their work on the wider rail industry (UK and world-wide); Maintain a personal record of training received and reflect on what has been learnt. Present a comprehensive portfolio of evidence and demonstrate ability to meet the knowledge, skills and behaviours specified in the appropriate apprenticeship standard.
