We’re proud of our training centres

We believe that investing in our people is one of the most effective ways of improving the safety, reliability and efficiency of the railway.

That's why it’s vital to get each individual’s training programme just right. That’s why we’ve set up our own state-of-the art training and development centres, with almost all our training and development delivered by our own people.

Skill Assessment Scheme

The Scheme is Network Rail's competence management system. It is the way we gain, maintain, assure and renew our competence. The Skills Assessment Scheme is made up of six risk-based Regimes which cover a range of competencies from Particularly High Risk (Regime 1) to Lowest Risk (Regime 6).

Apprenticeships

Expert training, earn while you learn and a lifetime of engineering possibilities. When you're transforming Britain's vast railway network, you get more than just an education. Over three fascinating, surprising, career-advancing years as an apprentice, you'll gain the kind of skills that can set you up for life.
