Knowledge Transfer for Companies

In our series Knowledge Transfer for Companies, we have been offering certificate courses since 2003 in railway operations and signaling and safety systems, among other topics. Complementary to this program, we also offer introductory and refresher courses in the areas of railway operations and signaling and safety systems which can be tailored to and integrated within the training needs and concepts of national and international companies. These courses can be implemented as knowledge transfer workshops for rail and infrastructure operators and authorities or as add-ons to traffic technology projects.
