About the course

Railway Signalling and Control Systems (RSCS™) course is a six-day tutorial presented by expert lecturers who have worked on railway systems around the world.

The programme of this well-established course is updated year-on-year to provide you with the most up-to-date contemporary training on signalling and control systems. The course has two parts: Part A focuses on theory and is delivered live virtually by our expert trainers. Part B is practical and is delivered in person at IET Stevenage: Futures Place, UK.

This course addresses both signalling and signalling control systems as well as their associated sub-systems, together with the major system and sub-system interfaces.

Covering the principal aspects in depth, the course makes an ideal start for anyone moving into train control engineering, both for graduate engineers and more experienced engineers looking to add to their knowledge base.

Chaired by Harvinder Bhatia, Head of Central Engineering, Transport for London.

Attendees will:

  • Understand the fundamental design and assurance requirements of modern safety signalling and control systems
  • Gain an in-depth knowledge of the acceptance and regulatory regimes in place
  • Analyse the role of the human in the context of the railway service to be operated and the appropriate levels of system integration required
  • Cover both the signalling and signalling control systems as well as their associated sub-systems together with the major system and sub-system interfaces.
