Rail Maintenance training with Lancashire Adult Learning and Redstone Training - New dates - October 2024

The Rail Maintenance Training programmes will again be delivered in Brierfield/Accrington and in Preston in a partnership between Lancashire Adult Learning and Redstone Training. The programme has been running regularly for the past 3 years and has been successful in enabling students to progress to a career in the rail engineering sector.  
The programme will support students to be 'track ready' once they have completed the necessary training. This is a fantastic opportunity linked to work opportunities and is funded for 19+ learners who are unemployed and currently looking for work or are working and on a low-income of less than £25,000 per year. 


Information and Enrolment sessions will be held before the training so that students can find out more about the programme and opportunities available. 


The training will consist of an initial six-week full time programme starting at the dates and locations below. Following this, there will be a further two-weeks full time PTS (Personal Track Safety) and Track Induction training.  Therefore, potential applicants who are currently working or have family responsibilities must consider the time commitments required.
 
For any referrals for clients/service users interested in this opportunity, I can be contacted on 01254 354423 (Please leave a message if lines are busy and I will ring back) or email me details of the referral including their tel.no and email and I will contact them. 


Any one wishing to do the training will then be contacted via email with more details including confirmation of the day and time of the information session. Applicants will also be informed of the photo ID, documentation and criminal record declaration process (if applicable) required to participate.
