Course Information
The PTS Recertification course is intended for candidates who wish to continue working for the rail industry – either on the railway line or elsewhere within Network Rail’s infrastructure.
Our recertification course will go over everything you learned during your original Personal Track Safety course, refreshing your knowledge, and assessing if you’re still competent to work in such a fast-paced environment.
