I needed to obtain a Cert 4 in train driving recently Via RPL as I have 42 years’ Experience as a Loco driver but never actually obtained my cert 4. I found out about Railtrain via word of mouth from another driver who recently completed his cert 4 in train driving Via Railtrain with a glowing testimony.
I would recommend to anyone seeking to obtain certification in Certificate 4 in train driving to use Railtrain due to exceeding my expectations and those of my fellow Train Crew that brought them to my attention.

Although the RPL pathway may appear daunting, once I’d started the process, I was pleased to find that at all stages of the Cert IV RPL pathway my assessor was professional and encouraging, allowing me to progress quickly through the stages.
