Who can apply for the track induction course?

To apply for the course, candidates will need to have successfully completed the PTS e-learning training package and only those who can grasp the English language will be eligible to attend the TIC – as they may be required to make an emergency call when working on the railway line.
Like the PTS course, all candidates must be medically fit and screened for drugs and alcohol to ensure compliance with Competence and Training in Track Safety.
