GRADUATE DIPLOMA OF RAILWAY SIGNALLING

The IRSE Australasian Section, which now has the management rights to the IP of the Graduate Diploma in Railway Signalling course material, are pleased to have engaged Competency Australia to deliver the course commencing in 2020.


The Graduate Diploma of Railway Signalling is an exciting opportunity for graduate engineers to undertake a broadly based, structured course in Signal Engineering. It will be offered as distance education and closely follows the previous course with the addition of some improvements and updates.  It is closely aligned to the set of knowledge and skills required by the IRSE for corporate membership.

BENEFITS FOR GRADUATES

  • A Nationally Recognised qualification in railway signal engineering
  • The opportunity for graduates to fast track their careers
  • Development and improvement of general professional and communication skills
  • Professional network building achieved through working closely with other rail professionals from different rail organisations
  • Mentoring and assistance by unit tutors (senior railway signal engineers and practitioners) over the duration of the training.

BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYERS

  • A nationally recognised course that can be used as a core element of their competency management system 
  • A structured approach to learning with the opportunity to achieve staff competency in a more cost effective manner
  • Graduates underpinning knowledge of the broad spectrum of railway signalling that may not be possible for an individual employer.

    WHO SHOULD ENROL

    • Engineers who wish to develop their knowledge, skills and careers in railway signalling
    • Graduates with a bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline who have more than six months of work experience in the railway industry
    • Railway technicians who have extensive experience in the areas of railway signalling
