GoTrain’s Trainee Driver School gives you the right qualifications to start working as a Train Driver Second Person after just 5 weeks of training and practical assessment.

November was a busy month at Go Train Industry, with rail maintenance training at Kangy Angy, multiple major Rail Industry training courses filling our training rooms to Covid-Safe capacity.

Don’t get stuck without your certificate over the Christmas period. While most of Australia have wound down for the holiday season, the railways don’t stop running. Whether you have outstanding online training to complete or those all-important safety induction certifications to update – you definitely don’t want to be left stranded at the rail corridor without the right quals to get to work.

Do you want to move forward in your Rail Career? Already have your NSW Systems of Safeworking units and are ready for a new challenge? The Engine and Air course with Stage 3 Practical Training is the next step you need to take to become a Locomotive Driver Second Person or Train Driver Assistant and ultimately, a Locomotive Driver.

This November, it’s your last chance to get behind the controls of a locomotive. Make the most of the opportunity to step toward your new career and begin our Trainee Locomotive Driver course.

Christmas is coming and so are the last weeks to complete your recertifications. You don’t want to get caught out before starting a job on the rail, so make sure your competencies won’t expire during the holiday break.

A lot has changed since the pandemic was declared, and in many parts of Australia, life feels pretty close to normal, however, in the Go-Train training centres, we haven’t forgotten how important it is to remain vigilant to the safety risks of COVID-19.

Go-Train spoke with Hi-Rail trainer David Dray to get the low-down on our up-and-coming course – the Road Rail Plant Operator (otherwise known as a ‘Hi-Rail’ or ‘TMO’).
