Rail Maintenance Training

Put safety at the heart of your railway operations

Put safety at the heart of your railway operations

Based on our yearly experience in the rail industry we provide comprehensive training courses on maintenance of track-based systems.

Compliance with legally binding, voluntary and contracted requirements is critical for the maintenance and operation of rolling stock for vendors, vehicle manufacturers and rail transport companies as owners and/or operators of rolling stock. The introduction of the Entity in Charge of Maintenance (ECM) for all vehicles listed in the National Vehicle Register has brought a new player to the field of rolling stock maintenance, with enormous responsibility and an array of obligations.

To address this new field of responsibility, we supply training courses and seminars on the topics of maintenance, maintenance management (e.g. establishment of a process-oriented maintenance management system), risk management and risk assessment performance. Our specialist trainers, with long-standing practical experience in these areas, describe the factors that apply in modern maintenance management and present efficient methods of deploying resources as precautionary measures. We also supply individual seminars and training courses tailored closely to your needs.
