INTRODUCTION TO RAIL

The Intro to Rail course offers absolute beginners valuable insight and background knowledge about the organisation, methodologies and key technical aspects that surround railways: their development, operation and histories. The course also suits those with more rail experience who wish to solidify and expand their existing knowledge of railways.
Online Course
The interactive online course consists of a mixture of video lectures, text-based delivery, interactive content and short assessment quizzes. The online format allows this course to be taken at your own pace, in your own time.
Designed for absolute beginners, the course features:
• Short Video Lectures

Even experienced rail professionals from support functions will find this course beneficial, offering knowledge rarely encountered in day-to-day work. Note that access to this course is exclusively available to CIRO members.
