Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is an ideal way to continue your rail operations career; combining study with ‘real time’ on the job training.
Apprenticeship standards have been developed by employers and form progressive career pathways, incorporating the knowledge, skills and behaviours required and defined for today’s industry.
We offer three apprenticeships at Level 3, 4, 5
In January 2023, CIRO were assessed by OFSTED for the first time and were delighted to have been rated good – with no conditions. This reflects the high standards that our apprenticeship team continue to strive for across their entire operation.
All apprenticeship applications must go through your employer organisation and participants are chosen via the employer selection processes.
Places on apprenticeships may depend on suitability of the course and the availability of levy funding.
