ETCS Kickstarter training October 2022

Get ETCS savvy and confident

The European Train Control System (ETCS) is the signalling technology of choice for all of Europe (that’s the E in ETCS) but has become established as the most popular and widespread modern signalling technology around the world. Even being so far from Europe, Australia and New Zealand have ETCS applications for the suburban
rail networks in Auckland, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane.ETCS offers enhanced features that can improve the achievable capacity and can transform the
operation of public rail transport in similar ways than the signalling “gold standard” CBTC. You can
understand the basic concepts and principles with the help of this ETCS Kickstarter training.

Based on the highly successful teaching concept of the CBTC Kickstarter, this ETCS training does not require any prior signalling knowledge and is therefore suitable for any railway professional who may get exposed to that new ETCS technology and the change it will bring to the future operation of the railway.

ETCS Kickstarter is ideal for getting your ETCS journey “kickstarted”. You will receive a comprehensive easy-to-understand introduction to relevant ETCS concepts and principles and gain confidence by really “getting it”.

What you will learn during this training includes:

  • Automatic Train Protection – definition and purpose
  • History and purpose of ERTMS and ETCS
  • Suppliers and other stakeholders
  • The six (not three) levels of ETCS
  • Core functions of ETCS and how they work
  • ETCS modes, transitions and language
  • Lessons from ETCS implementation
  • International case studies
The main objective of this training is your full understanding of the course content, demonstrated by a knowledge test at the end of the training and documented by a course certificate.The ETCS Kickstarter:

  • has adopted the successful
    teaching concept of the iconic CBTC Kickstarter course
  • avoids the use of ‘signalling mumbo jumbo’
  • focuses on YOU as the participant, ensuring that you understand 100% of the content presented and
    can access and use this knowledge when you
    need it in your daily business
  • comes with an industry-unique 12-months online after-event support that lets you ask any questions on
    the training content and reinforces your learning success from the training
  • is the perfect choice for
    railway professionals like you (I assume) who will deal increasingly often with the new ETCS technology, now or in the future.
