WHY STUDY WITH CIRO ?
Histro Vitanov
Degree , Arriva Rail London
“ I feel this is the best time of my life to start the Degree as I have 15 years ’ experience in the railway , across various roles within the system . I ’ m looking forward to all aspects of the programme , but I ’ m hoping to find something that triggers a specific interest for me which will guide my next career step .”
Natasha Blake
Degree , Network Rail
“ What appealed to me about this course was the range of topics that it covers and the ability to cover areas of the industry that I have little or limited experience in .”
Luke Roberts
Certificate , GWR
“ I ’ ve waited years for the opportunity to come up , so as soon as I saw it advertised it was something I really wanted to do as I had friends on the apprenticeship which includes the Certificate , and they were really positive .”
Jenny Nansuga
Certificate , GWR
“ I ’ m looking forward to the Customer and Stakeholder Delivery in Rail module . I ’ m always interested in how the whole rail system works and fits together . I don ’ t think people necessarily understand the complexities of how everything integrates in the industry , that is where I ’ d really like to improve my understanding .”
Zahid Hussain
Degree , HS2
“ I got to a point where I thought if I don ’ t do it now , I wont ever do it . So I explored the opportunity of a scholarship and was able to get it . A career is such a short window of opportunity , and very rarely do all the stars align for you to do it like this .”
Lloyd Matthew Parkes
Degree , DLR
“ I ’ m hoping that formalising my knowledge through a qualification , specifically in operations , I will have better tools to use to perform better in my current role and to ultimately progress further in my career .”
Ieuan Farnham
Diploma , GWR
“ I completed the Certificate course back in 2014 and decided to take a break from studying . Then I saw the Diploma advertised and decided the time was right to come back . I ’ ve just started a new role and really think this will help take my career forward again . I would say to anybody considering it to just go for it , the certificate really expanded my knowledge and I ’ m expecting the same of the Diploma .”
Robyn Law
Certificate , ScotRail
“ I would recommend that anybody considering an academic course should go for it , you ’ re never too old to learn . The GCU tutors have eased us in incredibly well . They ’ ve supported us throughout with lots of information , whether online or in person , everything has been readily available .”
Lawrence Akinsola
Certificate , GWR
“ I have found both the GCU and CIRO teams very motivating , from the very start of the course today , the content has been really interesting . I ’ m sure that the Certificate learning is going to meet my needs and I ’ m very excited ”.
