Personal Track Safety - Initial - E-learning Course

Course Aims

The PTS E-Learning course consists of a classroom based morning session led by one of our experienced Safety Critical trainers and will provide the candidates with knowledge of the topics which will be covered during the E-Learning programme.

The E-Learning programme takes up to three and a half hours to complete and concludes with a short online exam that needs to be completed by the individual.

Attending this classroom based course is optional and candidates wishing to undertake the PTS Initial course can do the e-learning section on their own if preferred prior to attending the Practical course. To do so they will require their Sponsor to register them for the course.

This e-learning course will be of benefit to candidates who are not IT literate and may not feel confident in their ability to undertake the e-learning course on their own.

Who Is The Course Suitable For?

This course is intended for candidates who wish to work on or near the line on Network Rail’s infrastructure.

Candidates must be over the age of 16 and sponsored by a link-up approved railway company before undertaking the PTS course. This is a company who have been audited and certificated to supply workers to the Railway industry. The Sentinel co-ordinator of this sponsoring company will need to sign our course booking form to confirm their intent to sponsor you and supply their linkup site ID number.

Candidates will also need to have completed a medical and drug & alcohol screening prior to attending the course.

Only those with a sufficient grasp of the English language to be able to give an emergency call will be eligible to attend.
