This is for both PTS Initial and Recertification. But always handy for a COSS to look at from time to time as well.

This Lookout & Site Warden section is perfect for those who already hold the competence or who are looking at starting. It's even ideal for COSS'.

OLEC at the moment has one revision test in and that is OLEC 1 - Accessing OLE Construction Sites.

This may be a little bit more challenging than you think.
Have a go at testing your self on your Manually Prolled Track Trolley Knowledge.

This is ideal for existing COSS' or people who are preparing for their first COSS Initial, COSS Recertification or COSS Assessment.

This PC section has only one revision test about acting as a PC. We recommend that you master Line Blockages in the COSS section first.

IWA is for people who are going to set up a SSOW for only themselves. Don't forget, most COSS' can do this, so it's even a must for them as well.

AOD stand for Auxiliary Operating Duties and will include Level Crossing Attendant (LXA) and Points Op (PO).

To be an ES you must hold IWA or COSS first, so we strongly recommend that you complete your IWA or COSS competence before attempting this revision test.

This PS section has only one revision test about acting as a PS. We recommend that you successfully complete Possessions in the COSS section first.

This  section has only one revision test about acting as a PICOP or a SPICOP. We recommend that you successfully complete Possessions in the COSS section first.

DC Isolations will cover Level B Switching, Level B Strapping as well as Level A Procedure A & Level A Procedure B. Ideal for ES and PICOPs issuing CRPs.
