Course Overview Description

During the information session, you will meet College staff. We will provide all the information you need to decide about the Rail Maintenance NVQ Level 2 training opportunity we offer and the type of work available in the industry. This will be an opportunity for you to check if the Rail Industry is an environment you want to work in and whether you can commit to the training schedule. We will ensure that you are suitable for the programme, support you to access funding and you will undertake an English assessment to ensure you are prepared for the demands of the Level 2 course. We will cover ID requirements, track days and information regarding the Drug and Alcohol Medical screening that takes place on the programme.

Please attend the information session at your given time slot.

The online application and enrolment process is really simple, once you have clicked the “APPLY" or "ENROL” button you will be redirected to the portal where you either log in or create an account (if you haven’t done so previously). We will then ask you to give us a couple of bits of information like address, mobile phone number ect and that’s it.

Once your applications has been made the next step will be for you to book yourself onto one of our interview evenings, depending on availability you might be able to do this straight away but otherwise we will get in contact to arrange when you come in for an interview.

At any point you can log back into the portal throughout the year, update information like your predicted GCSE grades, update contact and consent information and keep a live track of your application.

If you have any questions or run into any problems when using the portal please get in contact with us and we will help
