Learn the fundamentals of rail communication systems and their applications in this nationally recognised course
Without communication railways don't operate!
Communication is an essential component of any railway system. It affects every aspect of every railway, whether freight, passenger, metro or light rail. Which train; which load; where is the train going; who are the crew; when is it to leave? These are just some of the questions that arise for every journey.
In this nationally recognised training course we look at communication from a railway operations viewpoint, applying rail communications systems.
The course includes preparing to apply rail communications systems, recording and logging communications and ensuring safeworking systems are incorporated into communications systems.
