The IET Railway Signalling, and Control Systems (RSCS) Professional Development Course is a six-day training session presented live by expert trainers who have worked on railway systems around the world.
The programme of this well-established course is updated year after year to provide you with the most up-to-date contemporary training on signalling and control systems.
This year, the course has been split into two parts giving you the option to attend the whole course (Parts A and B) or part of it (Part A or Part B).
Part A is live virtual and will cover the fundamentals of signal and control systems as well as, signal system design. Part B will be delivered in-person focussing on systems implementation and includes the technical visit.
This course is in partnership with IRSE, Institution of Railway Signal Engineers.

"I took a great deal of information from the content presented and also made valuable industry contacts."
"Coming from the E&P team at Network Rail, I had limited knowledge of signalling before the course. The course description stated it was tailored to those who are new to railway engineering, and although it was an intense four days, the basics were covered at the beginning of the week, allowing me to understand the more technical presentations that were covered later on."
"The course met all my objectives and gave me the knowledge of railway signalling systems that I required."
