The Office of Rail and Road (ORR)<\/a> have confirmed that The Rail Academy<\/a> has been successful in its application to become an ORR-registered Train Driver Training and Examination Centre.\u00a0 The Rail Academy will now be added to the official ORR public register.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rail Academy, which is already one of only four companies approved by OFQUAL<\/a> to carry out specialist Train Driver Apprentice End Point Assessments, is now also able to:<\/p>\n

Train and assess train drivers in all areas of general professional knowledge, rolling stock and routes.
\nProvide this training and independent assessment to train drivers employed by themselves and others.
\nSupport new driver\u2019s licence applications.
\nPrepare and deliver train driver training materials, compliant with the required regulations.
\nRegister train driver assessors, competent to train and assess train drivers.<\/p>\n

The approval, confirmed on Monday 15th April, follows a thorough and comprehensive review of the company\u2019s systems, processes and capability assessed in line with the Train Driver Licences and Certificates Regulations 2010.\u00a0 These regulations stipulate UK train driver training, examination and licensing requirements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Only organisations registered by ORR may assess and licence train drivers from street to seat.\u00a0 The Rail Academy is the only independent, ORR-recognised Train Driver Training and Examination Centre in the UK.<\/p>\n

Cath Bellamy, Managing Director said \u201cI am absolutely delighted to receive this recognition.\u00a0 Training Train Drivers is necessarily tightly regulated and it must be done properly by people who are experienced, qualified and capable.\u00a0 We have a fantastic team at The Rail Academy and we have now demonstrated to the industry regulator we can be trusted with this important task.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the UK\u2019s only independent ORR-approved centre on the register, we now offer the rail industry a brand new choice in how it trains its drivers.\u00a0 So many operators have restricted training and assessment resources and are struggling to cope with the demand.\u00a0 We can now help them deal with that challenge and look forward to getting started!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
