I joined this programme after completing my PTS (Personal Track Safety) course because I wanted more hands-on experience. The Rail Engineering Bootcamp has helped me work with new tools, refresh my knowledge, and take real steps toward employment in the rail industry. Meeting employers has been a highlight, it’s a great chance to network and build confidence. The tutor has been excellent, combining solid theory with practical skills that are directly relevant to the job. My advice to anyone considering the Bootcamp is simple: go for it. It’s a strong foundation for getting shifts, gaining experience, and opening doors in the rail sector.
