if you're new to the railway you will probably have to do a 3 or 5 day course, either way it's mostly common sense. You will need to learn the terms and language of the railway but you should be ok as long as you think SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY.
Then you can join the world of reflective orange clothing and working weekends and nights :D

Done a ten day course AC/DC then filled out about 30 packs from skyblue to Mcginleys, keeping in touch with them on a weekly basis and you either get told to phone back next week or f**k off basically unless your in a gang already blue hats have to get lucky, wasted my money on f**k all it seems, been trying for five weeks over and over trying to get in somewhere, lucky i got something else to do in the meantime or i be stumped :( Still something else to to have i guess. :ayatollah:
Done mine with absolute training, a company who does them in a place in caerphilly about seven weeks ago, it involved lots of personal storys of bullshit from the instructor to lots of doom and gloom videos on people getting killed or near misses, even breathing in to a doll (CPR) and going on on site for a day to practice some general things with pan pullers and other tools. :ayatollah:

Ive got one but I think you need to be sponsored by a railway company to get on the course.
