Description

This is the entry-level qualification for anyone aged 16 years and over who wishes to work in the rail industry. The PTS recertification course is intended to provide delegates with re-assessment in their understanding of the Personal Track Safety requirements when working on or near the line. PTS DCCR can also be recertified alongside PTS AC providing the candidate holds the competence. PTS recertification is a one-day classroom-based course to renew the PTS qualification. This can be done within 8 weeks before or after the expiry of the current PTS competence. (You cannot go ‘on or near the line’ with an out of date PTS competence on your sentinel card)
