Train Driver Career

Basic trainee train driver training normally lasts for approximately one year comprising theory and practical sessions.

Theory session takes place in a classroom environment where you will be taught train driver rules and regulations as well as traction.

Practical session involves a “hands on” experience driving trains under supervision for a couple of months. During your practical handling, you will learn all the necessary signalling and routes you will be operating.

At pre-determined intervals during your training you will undergo assessment to check how well you are progressing with the training.

Progression to the next level of training depends on satisfactory outcome of these assessments.
