Course Information

Non-Technical skills are essential for all engineers, as problems are often a result of these softer skills, not technical ability. Therefore, Network Rail are having a big push on these skills and all engineers need to be able to demonstrate these.   

We have created an interactive face to face course, as we believe this is the best way to learn these skills. Our course is 5 days long and can be delivered all in one week, or as stand-alone sessions – perfect for Safety Stand down days. They include games, videos, discussion, quizzes, and a go on our Virtual Reality system.
