Railway Signalling and Control Systems training course

The programme of this well-established course is updated year after year to provide you with the most up-to-date contemporary training on signalling and control systems.

This year, the course has been split into two parts giving you the option to attend the whole course (Parts A and B) or part of it (Part A or Part B).

Part A is live virtual and will cover the fundamentals of signal and control systems as well as, signal system design. Part B will be delivered in-person focussing on systems implementation and includes the technical visit.

This course is in partnership with IRSE, Institution of Railway Signal Engineers.
