Rail Industry Apprenticeships | Chartered Institution of Railway Operators

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

L3 Team Leader Apprenticeship Standard

L4 Passenger Transport Operations Manager Apprenticeship Standard

L5 Operations Manager Apprenticeship Standard

 

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.
