TLI29921 Certificate II in Rolling Stock Maintenance – Dave C

The course content and training were very good. The trainer made it a relaxed and engaging process by balancing theory with practical application, which improved learning and prevented information overload. There were “lots of good 2-way discussions” throughout, and the practical sessions around locomotives and wagons were especially valuable, with participants gaining the most from this hands-on experience.

For our organisation, the course has been invaluable. With limited prior rolling stock experience, the AETs have gained both a formal qualification and, more importantly, the practical skills and knowledge required to manage and maintain rail assets. The training around inspections, braking systems, component identification, and train inspections was directly relevant to operational needs. There has been a noticeable increase in confidence in fault diagnosis and servicing, and importantly, the team has already identified and is rectifying an issue on wagons that was previously unknown.

Introduction to Rail – Brady

Railtrain were excellent from start to finish – quick to respond, assess and issue my Statement of Attainment. The online platform was easy to use, with engaging content that really built my knowledge of the industry and workplace expectations. Rhet, the Trainer, genuinely cares about helping new starters.

The course went far beyond what I expected, covering a wide scope of industry knowledge. For anyone looking to start a rail career, I’d say this training is essential. It gave me the confidence to apply for roles in rail.

Investigate Rail Safety Incidents – Dean R

Having used the ICAM methodology in previous investigations, I found the TLIF0045 Rail Safety Incident Investigation course to be a refreshing and practical alternative.

The course struck a good balance between theory and hands-on learning. The simulated investigation was a real highlight—it gave us the chance to apply everything in a realistic setting. The trainer was excellent: engaging, knowledgeable, and brought a lot of real-world experience to the table. I walked away with more confidence in planning and leading investigations, asking better interview questions, and pulling together solid, fact based reports. The templates and tools we were given will be genuinely useful in day-to-day work.

Overall, it was a well-run, relevant, and very worthwhile course for anyone involved in rail safety investigations.

TLI42622 Certificate IV in Train Driving RPL – Jonathan Shorley

Finalising my Qualifications seemed like it was an endless path, yet Railtrain was there to provide clear and precise information as to provide me with an RPL pathway as to achieve this goal.

The RPL pathway with Railtrain was a pleasure. Being self-paced allowed me to fit study and assessments in my usual routine without any major impacts in daily life.

Upon talking with the training team, I found the stress taken out of the process with the main focus of Railtrain being the fact that they want to see you succeed and they support people to achieve this.
