Train driver level 3 apprenticeship standard
5
The need to establish an industry-recognised standard, to create a professional train driver workforce was realised and this led to the creation of the Train Driver apprenticeship standard by Train and Freight Operating Companies (TOCs & FOCs).
The Trailblazer Group created this apprenticeship standard for all train drivers, whether you are a Passenger train driver, Depot driver, Freight train driver or an On-track machine driver.
